Reagan High
So I'm at Reagan right now and you know what...
it's not that bad. Honestly, it's what I expected. My students like me and most of them come to class and do their work, but of course I have a few nuckle-heads with unruly attitudes. I don't remember high school being like that for me (Like that?)...skipping made easy...acting out or getting in trouble made easy...no real consequences for their actions...using curse words like it's apart of their tongues and diction. Now understand this, I'm not judging them by being a product of society but more so judging their society.
I said I didn't want to be one of those teachers that can't work anywhere or that turns her nose up at that side of the highway. Because regardless of their situation or lack of this or that, they are still our future, our youth, our voices.
But what do you do when it seem like out of the whole school only 25-45% seem like they genuinely care and the other 55 or 75% doesn't? How do you reach and relate to every student?
Scary how they have already touched me and affected me in a matter of 4 days!
Scary I feel that I care more than they do and want to pass opportunity into their lungs, but they keep holding their breath like learning smells like a horrific fart.
I'm afraid to give up on them for I fear that society already has.
