		<description><![CDATA[Before I started student teaching, I thought I wanted to be a high school English teacher. I thought anything younger than ninth grade was of a species that I didn&#8217;t want to deal with. I wanted to read stories in class like &#8220;The Nose&#8221; by Nikolai Gogol, and talk of doppelgangers and satire and samovars. Dead Poets Society hadn&#8217;t yet come out (still a year or so away), but I guess I kind of pictured that sort of thing. Although I hate that movie, now that I think about it. I thought that junior high&#8211;this was still at the beginnings of the &#8220;middle school&#8221; movement&#8211;was too close to elementary school, and I wouldn&#8217;t like reading the books, and I&#8217;d have to babysit too much, and blah, blah, blah. Student teaching is an eye-opener for most people.  It&#8217;s easy for me to say this now, because I&#8217;m finished, but I think that a much larger percentage of teacher education should happen in the classroom. Much. Larger. Those places where the kids go to school at the teacher college should be copied everywhere. (More on this in a future post.) Most education undergrads have no idea what they&#8217;re getting themselves into. My biggest surprises: The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;They asked me to take a student teacher, and for once, I want to know what you think.&#8221; &#8220;What&#8217;s that mean?&#8221; &#8220;The student teacher part, or the part about asking your opinion?&#8221; &#8220;What?&#8221; &#8220;Never mind. For a while she would watch how we do things, and then I would watch her as she took over, and then I would leave, and she would be running the show.&#8221; Politeness Girl had tears in her eyes. (me: sniff.) &#8220;Would they know how to use the clickers?&#8221; &#8220;I guess we could teach her stuff like clickers and the LCD projector.&#8221; &#8220;What about the nutty videos?&#8221; &#8220;I doubt it.&#8221; &#8220;NOOOOO!&#8221; &#8220;What about SSI? Would she make us do SSI?&#8221; &#8220;I guess that would be up to her. Maybe she would have her own way of getting you to study.&#8221; &#8220;YAY!&#8221; &#8220;What about rating us from 1-10 and having to get an 8 and all that? That&#8217;s hard!&#8221; &#8220;We&#8217;re talking about a student teacher, not a guest teacher.&#8221; &#8220;Oh. YAY!&#8221; &#8220;Thanks a lot. I&#8217;ll miss you too.&#8221; I usually have a policy of only accepting full-time student teachers; I can&#8217;t find my groove in half a day, and invariably they&#8217;re taking other classes, and always [...]]]></description>
