Done Differently......
I am thrilled to have been labeled as one of the "coolest teachers at DC" by many students! However, with that also comes anxiety due to unannounced student visits, interrupted planning periods, and intentional unwelcomed hugs and kisses. So now you are probably thinking, "but that all sounds sweet Yvonne." And you could be correct until...........the moment one, or a few, of those admiring students gets you sick from their nasty germs! Per my visit this afternoon with Dr. Mercadel, I have Bronchitis, and have been instructed to be on bed rest for the remainder of the week. Therefore, had I been aware of the rapid spread of colds, and flus, and viruses going around my school, I would have definitely placed myself on Contact Isolation Precautions and shooed those hugs, and kisses away! Lol
I don't know if I am considered one of the "cool teachers" here, but I can definitely relate to the constant interruptions in class and planning, as well as the surprise visitors. Luckily I haven't gotten sick, but I am trying to eliminate some bad habits that were put in place before me. I keep the door locked and let my students know that if I catch them opening the door without my permission they owe me 20 push-ups. It actually has helped quite a bit, even though I only make the athletes do the push-ups.
