Better today: I studied and read until about 1PM, then played Minecraft.\u00a0 In the evening, Jeffrey and I played tennis.\u00a0 It\u2019s beginning to get a little cold for tennis; this might be our last time playing for a while.\u00a0 The temps are supposed to drop 20 degrees over the next few days, and rain is on the way.<\/p>\n
I turned down a sub job this evening.\u00a0 It was at a school I had never been to, and the assignment had no info on what the subject was (Math, English and the like).\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to go to a new school unprepared.\u00a0 Instead, I asked Barbara if she could get me a teacher list with the subjects they teach, that way, when I hear the teacher\u2019s name, I can find out what subject they teach!<\/p>\n
You know how I said yesterday was a long day?\u00a0 It was actually longer.\u00a0 I forgot to mention that when I got to school, my student placement professor, Teresa, found me and told me that \u201cmy\u201d district suddenly decided not to have student teachers from NHU.\u00a0 And after Teresa had worked for many years to get the first student placed (this module\/semester)!\u00a0 Well, that student got \u201cbumped\u201d on his first day and now has no placement.\u00a0 Apparently, I will not either unless something changes.\u00a0 \u201cMy\u201d district decided that they would like to stick with SJSU and SCU students only.\u00a0 This did not sit right with me, so I told Teresa that I would look into it.\u00a0 When I got home, I told Barbara about this.\u00a0 She said that she and her principal would ask.\u00a0 I am willing to ask as well, but strategically, it\u2019s better if Barbara\u2019s principal asks first.\u00a0 Actually, the High School principal is fine with having NHU student teachers at his school; it\u2019s the district level that does not.\u00a0 Don\u2019t know why, but I hope that we can change their minds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
