The freshmen boys are driving me crazy this year.
Three things have happened recently: 1. Freshman boy: 'all of your projects are boring, is this the state curriculum?'....he asked in the middle of printmaking...which involves carving and printing, should be fun and engaging but he was completely unmotivated. 2. Freshman boy: 'i hope i never see another piece of fabric again for the rest of my life'.....he exclaimed in the middle of coloring with oil pastels on a piece of fabric. (Stupidly, I exclaimed 'well you better take off your clothes then' trying to use hyperbole to emphasize how much fabric he would be seeing everyday for the rest of his life....the inappropriateness of my comment was not lost on the class, they died in hysteria).... 3. Freshman boy: 'mrs. mitchell, will you lie for me? I told a teacher that I turned something in to the wrong teacher but I can't remember who I gave it to, will you be that teacher? Will you tell them I turned it in to you?".......I told the boy to look up the word 'integrity' and then ask me again...because if I don't have integrity, then he doesn't know me very well. Ay ay ay.....
