Wig and Belly
By HappyHiker

Wig, I thought about doing that very thing. I am keeping a journal daily. I have informed the advisor that I am doing so and in an e-mail offered to let her see what I had written so far. She never responded, nor has she
asked to see my entries. I may just make her a copy and hand it to her when she's there in a few days. She has never made an attempt to speak to me personally. When she is at school, she just wants to talk to the ST and leaves immediately without looking me up in the office to speak to me. All of our conversations have happened because I just happened to be in the room for the three

minutes or so she was there before ST began her lesson. I have only spoken to her alone for about five minutes during the first week ST was in my room when she showed up the day ST played hooky and left at lunch time one day and the advisor showed up about 10 minutes after she left (ew, bad sentence). I also spoke to her alone for about 30 seconds last week before ST walked in. Long enough to find out her attendance/tardiness had been an issue at her first placement as well.

Belly, I have not heard anything about any evaluation she might have done on me. I expected to see it yesterday since she won't be seeing me officially "teach" anything really next week. We will be testing all week. The week after that is when she starts her solo work. If I were a betting person, I would bet that she found whatever form it was she was looking for and absolutely lit me up like a torch on that thing. I'm starting to think that she'll wait until the end to let me see whatever she put(s) down on it. I know it won't be good because she is vengeful. It will be her only shot at "getting me back" for not giving her all perfect marks, as she claimed she got at her last placement. That turned out to not be true. She is manipulative. I'll have to go into that later. Someone's at the door.

Okay, back to the manipulative thing. She plays this game where she tells me how helpful her other supervising teacher was, how her former supervising teacher is ALWAYS texting funny things to her and e-mailing her all of these GREAT ideas. I wonder why she doesn't use any of them? She tells me that she scored all "highest marks" at her other placement. I know now that that was a lie. She told me that within the first few minutes of introducing herself. She also told me during that introduction that the teacher cried when she left and thanked her for teaching her soooooo much. The children all cried when she left she says. She has to stop in and see her former supervising teacher sometimes on her way home because that teacher has asked her to stop and see her. Blah, blah, blah. To hear her talk you'd think she has brought that school back from the brink of disaster all within a 7 1/2 week placement. I think she is trying to make me think that I should want to befriend her. That way, if we are friends, maybe I won't be so rough on her when it comes evaluation times. I don't think for one second that the lady at the other school is texting her funny things or helpful ideas. Also, she likes to do things like this, "I'm going to be leaving early. Oh, I love that shirt." Or this, "I forgot all about early duty. That salad you brought for lunch looks really good."
