High School is boring....

So I am sitting in the office during a planning period for student teaching. The schedule is as follows, intermediate ESL- which I cannot teach because the teacher does not let go of the class- this is 2 periods, Science- where we push in and I take notes- prep- Government- WHICH I TEACH YAY- lunch- prep- science- where we push in and I sit and listen- prep....this leads to me getting lessons planned two weeks in advance for government, because I am bored here. I wish there was more to do. I have learned a lot in this placement, but I am just used to having so much going on like in the elementary school. I have learned how to assess my students with a formal assessment and modify tests. I have also learned how to create an effecient grading rubric. Well....there is only 2 and a half weeks left!

Those are valuable skills to learn!
But you do seem more suited to el ed:)
Try to relax and enjoy HS...
You never know which the Lord has planned for you.
You are doing a great job in student teaching BTW...:)

I have to say this almost sounds fun because there is so little to do! But I'm sure it would also get extremely boring after a few days :) I love elementary school too but I do wish it was not SOOOO busy, however going to the complete other end of the spectrum and having nothing to do would also drive me crazy...
