Oh. My. Goodness. I think I was either spoiled with the great teachers I have had...or the teacher I have been assigned to is, in Educational Psychology words, "an Aggressive Teacher". I was assgined to the third grade, and so I took it for granted that the teacher would be pretty nice, since the kids are still small and pretty cute. Well...this was not so. The teacher was belittling, sarcastic, and hostile. I have never been in a classroom where things were so tightly controlled that it seemed like more of a machine than a place of learning. A really bizrre thing happened too. This one kid didn't have his homework. The teacher made him stand up, and then pretended to whack him with a "wet noodle". It was taken seriously by the class, and I am assuming was used as a deterrent through the embarrasment of having to stand up. I am hoping that my teacher was just in a bad mood today...hopefully? Anyways, the kids were Super-Cute.
