so I was about 39 at this time
I want to see how kids are changing
See that is part of what made me wanna be a teacher
I like the job, teaching, you can really make a positive impact
I get told horror stories from the kids weekly
My mother was a teacher, I don't want to teach at a public school
I have some that are cutters and such
Self harm?
but they'll tell ya anything if you're not judgemental
yeah
Yeah they crave attention
it takes a soft touch at times
But
Not to be rude
I know they need to be cared for
the real problem is knowing when to be firm
Right
and to what lengths you go in being firm
Probably when they resort to the idea that they should die etc
They blame themselves for things but punish themselves too hard without fixing anything
But then you say "you matter" etc
actually, its funny, I've started a few programs on campus that has helped them get distracted from their normal everyday teenage angsty shit
Like what
I am working on building a YouTube channel for the kids
showing them ways to make money
be creative
Sounds like you're a natural teacher now
How long have you been doing this
it helps them by focusing on something other than how they're limited outside of school
first year
God damn
second semester
I don't half-ass
Well don't get tired
You have 30 more years of this legacy
the kids don't know my channel, but I have a YouTube channel already
Careful with that
I won't let them see it, because I do political commentary
Kids are very tech savvy
and it gets a bit graphic
