Kids

Pretty steady rain today. I think I'm doing a better job at controlling my classes. Discipline is the hardest part. It's just not reasonable that someone should want to act like an idiot for a full 45 minutes, but I guess that's how kids are. On the other hand, when you do finally punish them, they seem to take it in stride, and behave better next time. It's just my least favorite of duties. And that's part of the reason I like the junior high kids, because they're just more reasonable...and much more interesting in regards to mental content. I have heard some say they are remote, but in my class that's not the case at all. We sit back, use the book as a guide, and learn how to talk to each other. If anything, they have quite a bit to say. Far more "original material" than the younger kids.
