oh, man! So the head of the Music Education program has this arrangement set up with a few elementary schools in the area where a couple times a week, he brings a handful of his students to the school to teach violin. There's no money involved (*sigh*) but the kids get to have music class and we get experience so it's a win-win situation, I guess. I was one of those students last term, and it was exhausting. There were four of us, and we each had a class that we worked with. Mine was the... not-as-bright class, and I was the youngest/least experienced teacher. Which meant we went slower than the other classes, and on top of that my class actually missed a lesson or two -- through no fault of mine! -- and so the entire time I was trying to play catch-up and it was sort of awful. Also my class was very very chatty, and their teacher was kind of a tyrant (I'm not sure which caused the other, but it definitely created a feedback loop in which each made the other worse), and so they ran roughshod over me pretty much the entire time.

It was a really good experience, though.

(but that doesn't mean I'm not relieved to be off the hook this term!)
