Who is Your Daddy, and What Does He Do?

I spent the last two days substituting for a first grade teacher. Here's roughly what it was like (minus the gun and German talk):


I'm pretty sure that when I was in 1st grade, my classmates didn't cry as much as these kids did these last two days. Tomorrow will be different, though. I'll be at a "secondary disciplinary alternative" school. Should be fun.

  2. Last night Craig really did look like the arnold at the end of the clip - exhausted. And his two biggest complaints, they cried too much and they weren't very independent. My response to almost everything he told me - "They're 6!" Boy would I have loved to be a fly on the wall in that classroom this week.

  4. haha I can see Craig completely exhausted from that experience. I usually am too after 1st/2nd graders. They require way too much attention.
