That would be my fellow student teacher Kay.
Today I drove down to Oshkosh to have the once a week meeting with my University Supervisor and the one other Student Teacher that he supervises. I have never put 100 miles on my car for a less worthy reason.
The minute we sat down, the first words out of her mouth were "I hate student teaching, it is a total waste of time, I am completely bored and I am ready to be done". Well. Alright then you crazy bucket full of negativity. She then proceeds to rant and complain for 35 minutes of our 45 minute long meeting just bitching and whining about all the horrible things that are going on in her school and "do we have to go to the teacher inservices? It was totally useless and so not relevant to me and I felt totally out of place and all the other student teachers got to go home, but I had to stay and next time can I skip it because I didn't learn anything.....blabbity blah blah blah!" And it just went on and on and on, whining about her Cooperating teacher, about the students, about the schedule, about her policies, about the drive, and anything else you could think of. I actually asked her at one point if she really even wants to be a teacher... she's not sure. Go figure.
Well anyway, it took me about the whole car ride home to Green Bay to shake off her dirty, tainted black fog of pessimism and get back to my world where teaching is fun, my cooperating teachers are spectacular and my kids are funny and play along with me very nicely! It's good to be back in my world :)
