phoneless

God decided that today i had to suck it up, teach, and not complain. why, you ask? because He made me forget my phone at home so i can't text dave or leish to tell them how irritated or grouchy i am at how the kids just don't get it. lol.

today we're reviewing for tomorrow's test...and it's stuff that's kind of confusing and to me, it's just a matter of practice, memorization, and exposure for the kids to get it. sheez, a rule is a rule...you just follow it and get the right answer. i don't know how better to explain it. well, maybe if i were dave i would know how to better explain it, but i only know one way. that's probably why the kids don't get it.

it just trips me out at how clueless some of the kids are. it's interesting too, though. i love the kids who try so hard but still don't get it...at least i know it's not for lack of trying. there are other kids, though, who i just want to strangle cuz if they put their damn antenna up once in a while, they might actually receive some of what is being taught. then there are the other kids, the ones that are probably bored as hell cuz they get it the first time. admittedly, this math class is moving at a way faster pace than regular school...i just hope that when they're exposed to these same concepts in 8th grade they'll get it...or at least remember that they saw it before...wishful thinking, i know.
