Along with my most recent story.
It is appalling to see what some of these kids write down
for answers .Today I tried to explain what a democracy was through the use of
an example of voting for a class mascot. I created three class mascots that
included the following
Vato Loco,
Intellectual kitten,
and Curious George Lopez.
I was most proud of curious George Lopez. I spliced a picture of George Lopez and put it on Curious George’s face. I thought the kids would like it, but they hated it.
Anyway, It failed miserably. Like really bad, but I guess that is the life of a first year teacher in SDC. I am not teaching to their level. I am teaching far beyond their capabilities and I am trying to see who is swimming. Thus far, not many people are swimming. This fact is exhibited by the following exit ticket. I asked, “what is a democracy?” One of the students responded with the following answer.

At
least he remembered Curious George Lopez.
Until
the next time, I’ll be watching my students monkey around.
