My week seemed to go by pretty quickly. Wednesday was fine and Thursday was REALLY productive... for everyone except my half of the class during 6th period.
I never realized that it only takes one loud-mouthed girl to bring down the class. I had faith that it wouldn't happen to me, but, boy, was I wrong!
We'll call our class-ruining friend Sasha.
Now, I knew coming into all of this that Sasha was going to be a pain. Mr. C called me the night before I came to Delta to warn me that she was being extra bad that week and was being punished for a myriad of reasons and a myriad of people.
And while I've been with the class, I see her disrupt everyone and occasionally lie. Not particularly good traits. But Thursday was a new level.
She was listening to music and what not... fine.
A few other girls started listening to music... fine.
Nearly everyone started listening to music... um, fine.
But when the volume goes up to start competing with each other, that's where I have to draw my line. I had to yell to have everyone "take it down a notch." And they did. Looking back on it, I'm surprised they all listened so willfully. Like I've said before, these kids are good.
So, even though it was my "worst" class, I was still fine and laughed about it later.
In other news, lets get to this title of mine.
Yesterday, as the girls were picking out music for the end of announcements they asked if they could play "Tik Tok" by Kesha, which I said was fine as long as it was edited properly. So, we were listening to it and one of my girls said, "Like, who is Mick Jagger?" And of course I laughed a bit and told her he was in the Rolling Stones. Then she went to google his name and thought it was spelled McJagger ("You know, like McDonalds," she said.) I laughed again. I love the age gap. It's just enough to still be funny.
