Mr. M and adventures in teaching

and just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger.....

So here it is, Tuesday, the second day of the new middle school teacher, from here on he shall be known as Mr. Mullet (think of the best one you've ever seen and then go a little further....trust me, you won't be disappointed). And for some reason he is under the impression that I am a math teacher as well as an art teacher. Yes it is true that I came in to help the sub with the math class last week, only because she had no idea how to do Algebra. But when I came in on Monday I was under the impression that I would be taking half the class back to the art room while the other half and Mr. Mullet worked on math.....all of this is to give him an easier time (there are 3 different levels of math in the room). Kind of like what we did at Southshire....split it up to make things easier on the teachers and so the kids get more attention. I was fine staying in the classroom on Monday to help out, Mr. Mullet needed that time to see where everyone was, makes sense. What didn't make sense was when he decided to review Algebra with the whole class to "see where you're all at". Great, except for the fact that there are a few students who are 2 years away from Algebra and have NO IDEA WHAT THE SHIT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND NO I DON'T WANT TO TEACH THIS PORTION OF THE CLASS! I am here to assist with individuals when needed, only for today!!!
Yes, I know it will be difficult to teach 3 different levels in one classroom, that is exactly why I am supposed to take half of them away! DUH!
Finally, I put my foot down and just told him that I will not be here anymore to help with math, no, there is not other times that I can come in and help (I. AM. THE. ART. TEACHER. and there is no extra money so i will not be giving up my time to make your job easier!! OPEN YOUR FLIPPIN EARS. maybe a little harsh but i don't care at this point), and I would like to start art class on Thursday (which is almost 2 weeks later then expected, so that is 2 weeks of me getting to school 2 hours before I actually have an art class, not fun!).

Yes I know it is hard to wrap your brain around teaching different levels at the same time, but you're at Ryan Academy now, you better get use to it!

And honestly, if you can't figure out how to do middle school math when you have the answer book (with the work done for you) right in front of you, I have no sympathy for you at all. And it's great that you were a drummer in a rock band, but I don't care, help the students instead of telling me how cool it can be to perform I KNOW THAT, REMEMBER THAT TIME 2 SECONDS AGO WHEN I TOLD YOU I WAS AN ACTRESS?!?!?! Yup, I didn't mean I act for myself.

on the bright side there is no school for me tomorrow!!! yippy, day off from the crazy! Loves it!
