over it

I'm over that resolution about no more shouting at kids. Sometimes they need it, dammit. Just one class and just some boys and one girl. Next is phone calls home and then referrals. I'm over the patience for immaturity at high school. Don't waste my time or the rest of the class's.

Here are my students' scores from the test today :
A- 13
B- 12
C- 7
D-0
F-1 (and she is such an idiot sometimes I wonder how she remembers to breathe).

OK, I think of myself as a pretty good teacher, but that is RIDICULOUS especially at a continuation school with kids who don't pass standards or high school exit exams. These are the book exams that everybody in the district is supposed to use.

I'm over Shining Star textbooks. Dammit. I'll still use 'em, but they aren't helping my kids except with the self-esteem. Which is good. They need it. But not at the expense of real learning.

I'm over school. My classes are already boring me after only one session each. Oh, they're fine and the profs are cool and all that, but I really don't care about their topics and I wonder why I thought I would. I'd rather have that time to continue reading on my own, but instead I'm trapped. Ugh. OK, last term, last term.

I'm over the wind here - it SUCKS. I don't care if it's blue skies and warm - the wind kills it.

I'm over grading papers. Grades are due next week and I'm so behind on everything. I'm actually all caught up on grading, but to stay on top of that I've sacrificed all the other shit I really need to do - such as get my English learners in the right classes by checking their data (test scores, grades, etc.).

I'm over my ELD3 kids thinking they know everything. If they knew much of anything, they wouldn't still be in ELD3. All the kids with the good attitudes and brain cells to spare moved on up.

I'm over lazy district office personnel who don't do their jobs properly. The secretaries at d.o. in our district spend SO MUCH TIME not doing shit it makes me crazy. Come teach for a day and see what a real job is. I teach basically 8:00-1:15 with NO BREAK and then I have to grade, plan, meetings, eat lunch and urinate, all that. I know it's a cush job with the hours, but it's so much more work than any of those lazy asses do. They need to support us a whole hell of a lot better. I'm so glad our school secretaries are good.

I'm over debt. It sucks.

I'm over Bush. He never stops being evil vermin.

I'm over my roommate's loud sex. Ew.

I'm over Starbucks coffee drinks with 10 million calories. Who REALLY needs that?
