LowerCaseRepublican Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Having a really bad day and figured we'd all been there -- and misery loves company. Student teaching isn't bringing me down -- I love teaching, love the kids...it is just the paperwork for my minor. We have 22 state standards to discuss. We must give 3 examples of how we've met the standard in a portfolio. Accompanying each example is a 1 page assignment saying how the example meets the standard. That's 66 pages of example explanations. Then we get to write multiple philosophy statements, reflections on our teaching and a few other things to up it to 90+ pages. Due at the end of the month. I've also gotta write out formal lesson plans from Feb. 20 to today (I have very informal ones that I use to teach and they're effective -- but my supervisor wants all these huge and detailed ones which are a huge pain in the ass to make) Plus, I gotta get ready for this test on Friday...and get ready for my 2nd placement in Mahomet. Not to mention job applications, writing my monthly column for the paper and finishing up other paperwork to appease the University for my minor. Anybody having a rough day? (well, with this UIUC paperwork, it is going to be moreorless a rough month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 My grandma had a massive stroke, is brain dead and against her wishes my uncle had her put on life support. I then got a ticket for allegedly running a stop sign. Worst 24 hours ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samclemens Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 i was going to say that i had a check bounce one day, but soxy has me beat hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah Soxy has me beat. All I can b**** about is school work. For example my calc teacher not being there today and assigning us two lessons to learn on our own and do the homework along with anohter worksheet. And I have to write a paper tonight.
