Sometimes I wish I was a male teacher. There are so many students at my school that just don't respect female teachers. They think they can get away with so much with us... and maybe they can, I'm not sure. I think male teachers have this tough exterior that the students are a little fearful about. Many students do not have male role models at home so they come to school angry about it and take it out on their female teachers. They think they can act however they want and if they get disciplined they act out even more.
I had a bad day. I'm not sure what was up but the students were all so disrespectful and I did not have the patience for it. I hate becoming angry, but with one of my classes I was so disappointed and angry that they could not stay quiet enough to hear instructions that I was steaming. Usually when teachers ask me how I'm doing I always say 'fine' or 'good' and this time I was honest! I said I was 'livid' and 'steaming'. Then I had to meet with a student that could care less about his behavior in class. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that his dad is not really in his life, his mom lives in another city, and he is left to his grandparents. We tried to get him to talk about what was bothering him, why he blurts out, what we can do for him and nothing....NOTHING!
I don't know..its tough.
I hope I'm not burning out, but honestly I am ready to be done right now. I need my break.
