Reflection

What a week it has been in practicum. On Tuesday when I walked in to practicum I was shocked. There was not mention of 9/11 what so ever. I thought that was a little shocking, considering it was one of the most tragic events in American History. After hearing nothing about 9/11, my teacher looked at me said basically that I have to do nothing yet again because he is being observed by the Principal. Need less to say Tuesday was quiet a day in practicum for me.
Thursday did not seem to get much better. When I got there I found out the entire school was going to have a bus evacuation drill. That did not seem so bad. When the drill occurred students where told to act as if it is real event. The students that where in my class did not act if it was real and my teacher that I am with did not even take attendance during the drill. During the whole time of the drill students were talking and misbehaving, not paying attention to anything the bus driver or teachers where telling them to do.
After the drill and I had to think about the behavior of the students I thought what would I do in this situation when I am a teacher? I am still yet to have a conclusion, but if any one has a suggestions please let me know.

I too thought it was odd that there was no mention of 9/11 in my social studies class. I actually asked my teacher and he said that he was sure that they would go over 9/11 when they were in US History. I thought something done would've been appropriate.
