Is School Boring You?
I can’t tell you how many days I would struggle to stay awake, while in school, when I was growing up. Some of the teachers I had were killing me. I believe teachers have become better at their jobs, or maybe in Sedona they seem more into it.
80% of the teachers I had seemed to dislike the job and thekids. When I look back at what teachers made an impact on my life through teaching, I come up with a big fat zero. I remember a middle school teacher named Mr. Felix for Spanish and I would get so nervous in his class that I would get the hick-ups everyday. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, he would make me stand in front of the whole class and explain why I had the hick-ups. What was wrong with him? Instead of talking to me after class about what he could do to help me, he just made things worse.
I just wanted to check out when I was a teenager. Check out of school and check out of life. My teenage years weren’t that fun. Today as an adult I get to pick where I put myself. If I’m in a situation where I feel like falling a sleep or someone is treating me poorly, I just remove myself. Today, if I were a teen, I would talk to my teachers about how I like to learn, and try to change how they teach if they were a teacher who didn’t seem to care. easier said then done, I know.
Hang in there, you will be old enough soon, to be where you want to be, and if you’re a teacher, take a look at how you are reaching these teens, is it effective and are you enjoying it or are you just getting through the day.
