At work
For those of you that don't know, Andrew and I have been working at the Learning Tech for about three weeks now. The Learning Tech is "Quest School" by day, and tutoring in the afternoons. We each started with one student and in a matter of days we were up to 4 or so. I think now we both have about six. On top of that today I started working at the desk 8-3 on tuesdays. It has already been an interesting day. I am in charge of the phones, the incoming parents and students, the medicine cabinet, and various other things.
Just moments ago a 2nd grader came to the front desk in tears. He had to call his mom because he had just been informed that he has detention today. The tears made his speech impediment even more difficult to understand. He was pitiful! I really wanted to give him a hug, but I'm not sure how that would go over since I don't know the kid. I just really wanted to be able to help him calm down, but I guess that will take some time.
I am enjoying this work!
