Career counseling

Every year, I ask my students to evaluate the class. For my seventh grade students, I ask them to suggest a job I would be good at outside of teaching. I just finished reading them and this year, the suggestions were (note, I copied them verbatim):
  • Mom, Mom and Mom
  • Principal
  • Tutor
  • Behavior specialist/helper
  • Disciplinarian
  • Police officer (wha...?)
  • Senator
  • Lawyer
  • Person that does something for the government
  • Computer technologist

Cracks me up.

Also, day two of finals and lunch is chicken strips, buffalo wings and fries. Mmm...brain food.

For the most part, I think they know you pretty well. I mean, except for the office worker thing. Jen
