I Know My Students Like Me
Workday - 8:15am-3:45pm
... because they come visit me in my other classes. Actually, two of them weren't ever my students. Music students just get to know the whole music staff (and vice versa). I had one senior student (from my keyboarding class last semester) come and talk to me for 10 minutes before first period. The other two students just happened to pass by my math classes and wandered in. One grade 11 student came in during third period, was all excited to find me in that wing of the school, and vowed to visit more often (third period being her lunch break). Then a grade 10 student peered in after fifth period and asked what I was teaching in there. I told her, "grade 9 math". She replied with "oh WOW! Cool!". That must be the only time anyone would find teaching math "cool" -- when they know you only as a music teacher.
In fact, that's the second time I shocked someone with this today. One of the vice principals came into the math office and exclaimed "what are you doing here?". When I told her that I also teach math, she said I was eclectic. Yup, that's me.
