Ongoing Sub Prattle
I had a good day at the High School subbing for Spanish class today, although it is rather like chewing old cardboard to have to watch the first 45 minutes of "ET the Extra Terrestrial" in Spanish for the sixth time in as many hours. ("E-T telophono mi casa"). I think the kids had a tough time with it also as it was a Spanish I class. They know words like "yo soy" and "donde esta" but not enough Spanish to piece together the conversations of the movie. It was, however, nice to have a lesson plan in place, "Just plug it in and go". I wish all the classes were as easy! Tomorrow I have the Jr. High again, which I enjoy even when they give me a hard time. (Just say a prayer for me that I can get them to do their work without much pushing...bless their medium sized little hearts.)
Getting a job on this system is like pulling teeth. ALL the subs are on at once waiting for a "job" to pop up on the website, and when it does, they, like circling vultures, suck it clean off the bone without even landing for breath. I guess I just don't click fast enough...*squawk*...I was lucky enough to get the Jr. High job doing Social Studies for tomorrow. There were jobs on the site when I first entered it that stayed there for hours. I didn't want to take them because right at the moment, I'm simply too tired mentally and physically. They were "Special Services", and "Behavioral Adjustment" classes at the High School level, and the other one was a 6th grade class at the Lost Children's school. (Not it's real name.) Although I feel for the lost children, I just couldn't do it. Karim has also forbidden me to take any jobs at that school as it tends to render me useless by the end of the day.
There you have it. Denise's ongoing twittering about whatever flies from her fingers first. One of these days I might actually come up with a subject that isn't completely dull and nonsensical and stun you all.
Peace be with you.
