At-a-glance

Mrs. Bacon and her class with Justin Davis as her student teacher for the day on Coup Day. - Carlos Cabrera

          I won the bid for  Miss. Bacon as  my student coup day teacher.  The class was algebra II. I really liked it and I got to hang out with Mrs. Bacon. She is a cool teacher, she rides a motorcycle when it is nice and likes to have a good conversation about it. Just ask her about it!!! I got to teach 5 different periods and I really loved it!
    I was afraid at first because I was going to be standing in front of a class, but I ended up being able to speak loud and clear. It went a lot better than I thought, because for about a week before ,I was freaking out thinking how I’m going to be loud enough for everyone to hear me; I’m not a very loud person. But I absolutely loved it.
    I was in charge of teaching Algebra II. I was teaching a review for restrictions and many other math terms. At the first part of the day I couldn’t get the material myself, but by the end of the day I was able to answer many of the questions that the students had.

I would recommend participating to anybody who is social and likes people. However, I never would be a teacher but it was a very great experience;  and if I retired I might look into being a substitute for some extra money. Also, it would take up my spare time with something fun.

I think that anybody could do it but I didn’t have to do all the work that the teacher has to do to prepare for the next day; so don’t think that being a teacher is all fun and games;  it’s not. A teacher must grade about 100 tests in your own time and that really stinks.

So be ready for it if you want to become a teacher -  it’s a tough career. Next year I look forward to seeing more people at student coup day next year bidding for one of their favorite teachers.
