I have to start taking vitamins. Can anyone suggest a good one? I know some of them actually have carbs. I went to my teaching class last night. It was fun but we were broken up into groups of 3 and my group members have different ideas than I do. I guess that is what makes it a good group in a way because we can express our different points of view. One of the girls is young, no kids, and the other is a teachers aid, young, no kids. They seem to think all children are angels and most parents don't care about their kids education and it is up the teachers to "save them"..... hmmmmm.... I realize that they may be not be totally wrong but I have the advantage of having kids myself and being a parent so I feel like I have a more realistic view of what teaching will be like than they do. Not all children are sweet little angels and even if you approach the classroom with love and compassion you are still going to have some tough kids from time to time. All parents aren’t awful either. Many of them are very helpful and concerned about their kids. I don't know... I just wish I was in a group a little more like me or maybe I am just a grouch. One of the girls said that when she has kids she isn't going to work so she can spend time with her kids and be involved with their school. I guess I can just sympathize with the parents more than they can because I am one. It's tough out there and in most family's both parents have to work sometimes more than one job just to make ends meet and I am not going to look down on them if they miss a PTA meeting or forget to sign a folder one night. That doesn't mean they are bad parents - just human. In my group however that point of view would get me a "you’re so evil" look.
