I sound like a broken record. Everyday I have to say: "Tuck in your shirt, pull up your pants!"
I sound like a broken record. Everyday I have to say: " Put on your I.D."
I sound like a broken record. Everyday I have to say: " Clear the halls, let's get to class!"
I sound like a broken record. Everyday I have to say: " Names on your paper please!"
I sound like a broken record. Everyday I have to say: " Lin, hold on, with patience be true,
for someone had to repeat themselves several times for you!"

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).

As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Lin, I did not realize we worked at the same school.I say the same things every day all day long.Well except for the part about "Lin, hold on,with patience be true".
Lin,
You do sound like a good recording, but A Number One Hit. Unfortunately, that is the way it is. Many of our students just don't receive the proper home training and reinforcment during the other sixteen hours during the day. We as teachers must continue to reinforce and encourage every student we can. I also stand at my post daily and sing a similar tune and it is climbing to the top on all the charts! I also sing another hit tune. I make an attempt to greet as many students by their names as I possibly can, some are in my classes and many are not. I found that establishng relationships with all students, good and not so good can influence the overall setting . Telling students what to do and how do it is a large part of our mission. They act as though they really don't want to hear the instruction,but deep down, they know there is a need for structure.You never know who is going to hear the echo of a teacher's voice. Stop Playing! Pull up your pants! Take the grill out of your mouth! Keep on trucking.
