Teaching

Saturday, September 08, 2007

I had a nightmare last night about the state coming into my classroom. They showed up on Monday, and for some reason I was not prepared, I did not have enough copies, I was not well planned. I haven't had a single day like that this year, but in the dream I did, and the guy from the state was not generous. He stayed for another period and it was the same. I wasn't teaching in my classroom, or someone had moved everything around in my classroom, and it really threw me off. It was different furniture, and I couldn't move around right, and I had that feeling like when your legs and arms are made of marshmallow and you're completely helpless, expect that my body was fine, I just couldn't teach. I was obviously wasting my students' time. The guy told me that I was inadequate and lazy. He came back one more period and it was marginally better, but not enough, and he told me to pack up and go home- that I was not an adequate teacher. It's funny, because I've been trying not to stress too much about the state thing.
