Take a chance, little turd
Yesterday my ALY group was excused early out of school so that we could present to College View Middle School. It wasn't as bad as I had pictured it. Even though we might have mess up a few of our skits we still went on. After school had ended we waited around for our ride and we thought we would visit the band director. Some short, blond, irritable, old lady walks through the doors and yells at us. She tells us to get out and without another breath, she opens the door to the band room and yells “GET OUT! NOW! OR ILL GET THE PRINCIPAL”. Shocked at the way the teachers treat the students there, my friend and I decided that we didn’t want to deal with them so we waited out in the cold, cold weather. We see the little old lady once more before we leave and it’s while she was leaving. Right when she opens the door to leave she points at us two and yells “AND THEM TOO”. Ok… well then, that’s nice. For the 15 minutes we were out side, only 1 of the 6 teachers we saw smiled and finally some lady told us to wait inside so that we wouldn’t get a cold. Since Chels can’t handle the cold very well, we went through one of the doors but didn’t go back into the school. As we sat there just talking and waiting, another teacher was approaching the door. He first pulled on the left door but it seemed to be locked. Right when I start standing he pulls on the other side and it opens. So what else can I do other than sit back down. He told me that was nice of me and that I was a nice girl. Umm thanks.. He complimented us on our skits and apologized for the “little turds”. By this he meant the students (which kind of shocked me). As he left for the center of the school, I felt sad. I felt sorry for the students. They were all grouped as “little turds” and weren’t given a second chance. If yelling is your teaching method and it doesn’t seem to be working, change it. Don’t assume you know who they all are just because of a few trouble makers. Maybe it’s not them who’s the problem… maybe it’s you.
