Kid Crazy...

Deep down I think that I have always harbored a secret dream of being a teacher. This coming from all of the fabulous teachers that I have learned from and cared about over the years. Yesterday I had the opportunity to go with my sister and help her out with her orchestra class on a field trip. Here is what I learned. Elementary school kids are Insane, they are never quiet, rarely do exactly as they are asked, and like to go to the bathroom...alot. After a 15 minute busride in which I most often heard "Ouch, he's pulling at me!" "When will we be there" "This is boring", we entered a local highschool to experience some Classical music. The theme for the concert was Marches. Consisting of The Wedding March from A Midsummers Nights Dream by Mehndelsson, The Indiana Jones Theme by John Williams, and various and sundry other musical selections. They were excellently put together and performed by the Utah Symphony. During this concert the children never quit talking, never quit squirming, and had to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. I could, in fact, tell you exactly how many steps there are between the seat I was in and the restroom at this particular highschool. Which is 475, going and coming combined. Well, As we returned the rambuncious children to their regular schedule back at the school I thought to my self, there goes another dream. Two down, Tons to go. I wouldn't be able to teach, I do not have the patience. So I commend all the other teachers out there who have not yet gone insane! Brava! Til Next Time!
