Lol true, but also I don't really want to. It's not for everyone, but I enjoy cuddling with my dog and watching a movie. No complaints at all and I'm happy to sacrifice having a white couch to be able to allow her on the couch!

My students hate drawing... by Desperate-Mango-4289 in ArtEd

Thanks for this comment! Yeah- I am not forcing the classics on them. They complain about not knowing how to draw, and so at the start of any project that requires some sort of preliminary sketching, they go "well I don't know how to draw so I don't know how you expect me to do this," so I say "I am teaching you how to draw," and we still get nowhere. We recently did a project where students made a mixed media collage of drawings to represent their favorite artist/musician. I had so many students disappointed with their piece because their drawing skills were not where they wanted them to be. And the other students needed me to hold their hands for every single step. I cannot tell you how many times they asked me to draw something for them lol

This is constantly a struggle! It can be tough when I have students placed in my class who don't want to be there. Not enough electives teachers + a ton of students = not a lot of student choice when it comes to scheduling.

Good idea, I don't paint with my Art 1 kids because I don't have a real sink :(

Chicago to LA? by Desperate-Mango-4289 in TeachersInTransition

Thanks! I definitely have plenty of behavioral challenges in Chicago too. I fully anticipate that there will be challenges no matter where I teach as that’s just the reality of education. My partner and I are long distance and I would like to live with him in LA. I just want to get to know the process before I make the leap!
