Sweet. Killer. Bodacious

Pasa Rapido!

I feel like an actual teacher. I have been planning the entire day since last week. The week after Thanksgiving is my last teaching week. I am assessing the students, teaching them, re-teching concepts that I can tell they don't understand, correcting their homework, and very important, talking to their parents at parent conferences. I have been translating for those parents who only speak Spanish and have communicated very well. I was even complimented on my Spanish by parents! It has been so wonderful to be able to communicate with them.

It has been an experience of a lifetime to be exposed to all aspects of this job. The family problems that directly affect the students in the classroom are amazing. You can read about them a million times but it doesn't quite hit you until you see those students' parents fighting it out while you wonder how the student ever finishes any homework. Other parents are so focused on their child's education that you wonder how you can be like that for your children. It's a very interesting, sometimes sad, profession. I would not change my job for anything.
