I enjoyed watching these clips because I think it is interesting to see others' views on teaching. The Seinfield clip reminded me that I have to step up my game to make my class memorable to students (especially in a era filled with media). Many of the students in this video accurately portray student personalities in real life. The message that I received from the first skit was the challenge that I as a teacher will face every day. I will feel drained and everything I teach may be discarded, but I must remember that I can not give up.
I liked the ending in the second clip. It reminded me of an incident that occurred during my practicum at Jarrett. I was working on underlying characteristics of Aunt Polly from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He was not quite sure what the teacher wanted, but once I sat down with him he understood the assignment. It was rewarding to see him understand the lesson that had confused him.

Sweet! I'm learning a lot from my practicums also. I wish we did more service learning. One of my teachers at MSU said he felt like they sort of just stick you out there to learn on your own when he started.
