Throwing things and teacher thinking.

I have this desire to...

Throw things at people.

I'm basically sane.

I really want to look into this though.

Whenever I imagine myself teaching, I just want to throw things at people. I feel like as a teacher I am going to be really immature, and throw things like paperclips at my students or something.

And I will be like teaching at the front of the room and then I'll suddenly turn around and chuck a marker or chalk across the room.

This is a weird desire. Also, whenever I see people I know at school down the hall, I just want to like throw things at them to get their attention.

Like what the actual. I just googled it. Yeah. I'm alone here.

I'm afraid I'll accidentally like throw something into someone's eye or something.

I don't know.

I want to be a high school teacher for a while. I know that I will love it SO MUCH. But there isn't too much I can accomplish as a high school teacher, which is why I want to get into politics.

I feel like I'll be a really weird teacher. Like my friends know how weird I can get. I don't usually act weird around people I don't know that well.

But for some reason, anyone younger than me, it is 10x easier to talk to. People the same age as me I am just like "OH MY GAWDD". Even just like in grade 11, they're easier to talk to.

Like at cross country, I'd start acting really weird. I didn't even realize it at first. But then I realized it, and I continued. Most of the people were in grade 9/10 in cross country, so I felt fine with it.

My point is, as a teacher I feel like I will be the best ever.

There are some teachers that are really professional and whatever. Others are professional and they're weird. Others just don't know what the fuck they're doing.

I just want to engage my students so much. Like one day I'll walk in wearing like a prom dress or a wedding dress and act completely normally. The next day I will act really strict and walk around slapping their desks with a ruler. The next day I will just be really hyper. The day after that we'll actually get work done. JK.

But I just feel like teachers are looked at differently in society. Like when we see a teacher at the mall it's almost like "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! They are a normal person that exists in society! SHIT!". Seriously.

I just want to embarrass myself as much as possible. I refuse to be a stereotypical teacher.

Of course I will actually teach. I will always be teaching. But if I am going to be a philosophy teacher, I think I can have a lot of fun with that :). And political science! ME TEACHING LAW = <3 <3 <3 <3 <3.

Goodness.

I feel like other teachers would hate me. Like I'd walk into the staff room wearing a leprechaun outfit, and they'll feel excluded.

I just want all of my students to learn a life lesson from me, okay?

I want all of my classes to be like families. I want them to have the ability to stand up at the front of the room and sing a song about frogs. I want them to be able to hug each other without awkwardness.

I just feel like I want to defy society's idea of the classroom. They will all WANT TO COME to school, because of me.

I have had a few teachers like that. I want to be like them, with a twist.

I will be strict though, don't get me wrong. But I will teach them to hand in all assignments on time. I will get serious and make sure that they get good grades.

I will have serious conversations with each of them, all of the time.

I feel like I will be an amazing teacher. What other teacher do you know of that will throw things at their students, and get to know each of them, individually?

I don't think that my methods would get me in trouble either. I wouldn't dress weird everyday. Dress codes with teachers don't even matter anymore, anyways.

I think that on my first day of teaching a class, I will hide somewhere in the class, but on the door it will say like the class name and on the board, so they know. It will just say "Welcome to ______. Pick a seat and sit down!" on the board, and then I will just wait for them to all sit down and start wondering where I am. Then I'll like appear out of no where and then I'll just be like "I'm Sarah" and then I'll start writing down the most difficult lesson on the board and I'll be super serious like "Just copy this down." Then once they have finished the note I will just be like "LOL JK!"

And I will be like "Now you don't have to copy this down 2 months from now when we actually learn this. Just make sure you keep it."

Then I'll do normal first day things. And then I will throw pencils at them. And then we will sing.

I'm mostly kidding.

But still. I want my classroom to be amazing. And it will.
