Watching Seinfeld's video was entertaining but I can't help but feel slightly more apprehensive about entering the classroom and teaching on my own. The thought of having no way to engage my students is one of my biggest fears, and the scary part is that every group of students will be different, so as educators we will constantly be having to evolve and cater to the new group, finding different ways to get them involved. At my practicum on Friday I walked in expecting to observe and was surprised to be told by the subsitute teacher that I should take over the lesson for the day, it was terrifying! Fortunately, this group of students was more than willing to share their thoughts, but I couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to be in Jerry's shoes...

Lazy substitutes! Did you take the class over? What happened? What did you do? Were you scared? What did you teach? Did they tell you the answer was France?
That is awesome that you got to teach. Granted, I would be terrified too! Really, how did it go?
I agree completely with you! I am also apprehensive about entering my own classroom, with my own lessons, and my own time management. It just seems like a lot of work, that I don't know if I am ready for. Hopefully I am able to get through to the kids better than Jerry did!
That's so cool. Yeah, it feels like we should just walk up there and do it, doesn't it? Until you get up there. Then, the tension rises, but I know the only way to get over it is to get up there and do it.
