Hi
Well, this is not only my first entry, it is the first time I have ever been to a blog site. I am taking an education class and this is one of our assignments. I don't know if anyone will read this besides myself and people in my class but I would like to think I can add to this on a regular basis.
I am currently a high school math teacher in a small town in TN. This is the first year I have ever taught and I am finding it extremely frustrating. I have thought for years that I would make a good teacher and now I am second guessing myself. The students that don't care if they ever learn anything are my challenges. What to do with kids that don't want to pay attention and just want to disrupt the rest of the class. - Oh well, maybe with some more experience I will be able to handle it better.

Hi! I just read your post. Don't give up! The very children who seem not to care are the ones who are so important that we reach. I have to keep reminding myself daily (with 2 boys) that children crave any attention--positive or negative--rather than none at all. I'm not sure what the 'key' is for each child and I know it's overwhelming, but I hope you'll keep looking for that connection. If you haven't already, you might want to look for others in your same "boat". At www.globeofblogs.com you can search for others' blogs with similar interests, like mathematics. Hope that's helpful.
