Today the students are ‘benchmark testing.’ Which means they are testing to see how they are going to test when the ‘real’ testing is given. It is surely testing overkill- but the great state of Texas has goals and dreams for her students.
It’s terrible. I’ve considered homeschooling more than once. It’s still on the table.
Anyhoo- I’m facilitating in another teacher’s room- and while the decor should be something I am attracted do- considering how I like to decorate- it is actually making me slightly anxious.
I wonder if someone else’s ‘out of control’ makes me nervous because my ‘out of control’ is so overwhelming.
My house is OUT OF CONTROL and overwhelming. I feel like a horder. There is way too much stuff.
Back to the classroom- there are shiny stars hanging from the ceiling, college pendants on the walls, colorful motivational posters, pictures, shelves full of Knick-knacks, crafting materials, books, calculators, computers, pens, pencils, erasers. There are trophies and purple accents all over the place. Clearly this teacher has spent a lot of time investing into the look of this room, and it’s killing me!
When/if I get my own classroom I would like it to be more like a living room, less like a circus tent.
