First Week Over!

An interesting first week back at UNI.....so much easier knowing how to 'fit right in' starting the second semester than it was my first!
I love the cohort. Working with a small group, all motivated to be there, each with a distinct goal in mind, is so much more fun than sitting with a bunch of kids with attitude! The kids in my 4th grade home base class are a joy, and Katey, my partner is just wonderful - she, like me, is just happy to be in the classroom & is completely focused on working with the kids.
There is a negative though....one class, one professor.....if anyone might hurt my 4.0, it might be her. Not because the work should be hard, but because she has no apparent ability to explain, no interest in finding interesting ways to share information, and is so disorganized that her syllabus wasn't ready & the version that she finally emailed out was incomplete. She seems to be all about self-study, memorization & tests.......& what is sad is that this is our Level 2 Instruction class which includes our Teacher's Work Sample.......thank goodness I am in the cohort and will have some expert assistance that my fellow classmates will not have the advantage of having.
While I am busy complaining about her, she also made some quite offensive comments & showed considerable ignorance. I will do my best not to whine about her too much, but watch out for some documentation! Sadly, it might take the 45-year old complaining for 'them' to listen to; apparently many complaints have been made, but she still has tenure......I don't know, but I can tell you, I was appalled. What a shame, because every other class is one that I look forward to, and I love Lincoln elementary school!
