pregnancy is making me feisty
As my students would say, "I almost cut a b!tch."
I was trying to give my fourth hour class a test, and the teacher next to me was playing a movie on WWII, it was SOOOO loud, and it had gun shots and all kinds of crazy ***, we could not concentrate on the test.
I went over there and asked very, very nicely, "would you mind please turning that down, I am giving my students a test." Then the following conversation happened:
Other Teacher: ::eye roll:: we're trying to watch a movie
Me: I understand you're trying to watch a movie, my students are trying to work on a test, and the movie is very loud and distracting. Please turn it down.
OT: My students have to be able to hear it.
Me: Mine don't...
OT ::cuts her eyes at me, turns it down::
Me: Thank you so much, I really appreciate you're flexibilty with the issue
OT: Ugh/sigh...something along those lines with another eye roll
This teacher thinks she is the queen bee, because she teacher honors. I teach special ed resource, I am the redheaded step child. She did not want to turn the video down, and I was going to stand there until she did.
Fifth hour comes around, same damn thing happens. I went over there, and I guess my face said it all, she turned it down and looked up at me and we just stared for a minute. If it happens again, I may lose it.
