I teach high school Spanish which is one of the worst jobs in the world, but I love it, most days. I have come to the conclusion that we are doomed. Why? Teenagers. There is no hope. Time to start over. Where's the reset button?
Examples:
Examples:
- "Mrs. Fenn, how do you say fajita in Spanish? My response, "Fajita."
- "Is tortilla a Spanish word?" seriously? My response, "Nope, it's Norwegian."
- "Should I put my answers in Spanish?" My response, "NO, put your answers in Chinese." wow.
- "Mrs. Fenn, don't mark us absent eventhough we're leaving right now to go snowboarding." whatever.
- "Hey, Mrs. Fenn, ya wanna go clubbin with us tonight?" My response, "YEAH, totally. Come pick me up, here's my address." yeah, right.
- "What do the Mexicans in Argentina eat?" what?
I swear, In the 1990's, only the potheads said such stupid things, but times have changed. Honestly, I have met some of the SMARTEST students in the whole world and also the NOT-SO-SMARTEST. My students make me laugh everyday and I love hanging out with them. Actually, I should be hanging out with their parents since most of them are very close to MY AGE. crazy.
