Hi all. You may have
noticed this already. The last few blog
entries each
have recently received a comment.
Apparently someone wants us all to know he once suffered from having a
small penis. Geez. I don’t know how to delete the comment.
It reminds me of a blog I wrote a while back about size.
Us humans in general worry about the wrong things. Just be a decent
person.
Speaking of decent human beings, a few things have made me
feel all hope
is not lost.
(But if the sadism from the malignant narcissist in the White
House with
the support of his followers continues, I don’t know if we will
recover.)
Next time you see me, I’ll probably be a brunette again. I’m in a
production that needs me to have my
original color hair. I welcome the
change.
By the way, I received a job listing that sounded right for
what I could
use right now. Two evenings
a week. Perfect. Teaching math to returning adult basic
students. They want an experienced
person who understands the students and is dynamic. I thought this is the job I can do now and
that I qualify for. It turned out to be
for the place I worked for 18 years.
They HAD dynamic math teachers who understood the students. They got rid of us. Aside from a couple of lovely math teachers,
they kept people students consider bitches.
A number of students complained to the coordinator about the evil ones,
and they felt unheard. The program is
disintegrating. It took years for the
previous administrations to build it, and 2 years to destroy it. Sound familiar? Like our democracy (that still needed work)
and has after 2 years been worn down to a very sad place.
I was tempted to apply, but I didn’t. They want someone like me but who
will drop their integrity to do shit like throw
people out due to absences or latenesses.
Fuck that. The only reason I ever
got a student removed from my class is if they made the atmosphere feel
unsafe. I promised my class a safe
space, and I meant it. I don’t think we
should repeat the crap that didn’t help people the first time around. I don’t criminalize people for lateness, and
I don’t want bullies ruling the room.
I can’t say it didn’t hurt to see that job listing. One of the other loved
(by students and unappreciated
by administration) math teachers also received it and contacted me. I told her, “They had ‘dynamic’ and they didn’t
appreciate it.”
Of course the students are who lose out. Of all the former co-workers
and friends I
told about the job opening, only the former counselor (who can see from the
students’ view) told me to apply. My
best buddy told me to apply just for the “shits and giggles.” I haven’t.
I’m enjoying being appreciated.
The thing with teaching, I normally feel appreciated by the
students. It’s the administration I have
trouble with. When I first began at that
place, the administration both appreciated me and seemed to hate me. That’s a longer story. They liked my work, just didn’t like me.
I told one of them that my ‘work’ was an extension of me and who I am;
it wasn’t a sofa I bought in a store.
Geez.
At least I got some comedy bits out of all that. But I need to get more
comedy, poetry, or
prose out of all the shit I went through.
I am writing memoir about my
years in adult education.
The beauty that no one was able to poison is many former
students from
several jobs are in contact with me. I LOVE hearing when someone who had been in
my class continued on and earned their diploma.
No matter what I may be going through in my personal hell, it makes me
smile.
Speaking of smiling, laughing, and all good feelings –
