Adult learning…
I’m sitting in PPG today. It’s always hard to sit through this class. Our teacher conveys how we are all adults and that she expects us to learn like adults. I’m so hungry!!! For some reason I’m only hungry in this class and no other. If I’m not in this class I can last with no meal until 2pm if I needed to. We got a 10 minute break and one of my colleagues came back in with a plate of yummy food…chicken fingers with fries and side caesar salad - my mouth is watering! So this is what happened next…Our teacher asked her to leave the class and not eat during class!!! Dammit! Why not!?! We can drink our Timmy’s coffee and come in 20 minutes late while we line up for it; plus we’re allowed to crumple our Timmy’s bag and disrupt people, but for some odd reason we cannot eat a meal during lunch?!? I mean, it’s not like she was going to distract anyone - it just smelled amazing! I don’t know why I care so much…maybe because I felt bad that she was embarrassed because our teacher stopped mid-lecture and pointed her out, even if she snuck in very very quietly…maybe because sometimes during this class whenever I find more than enough time to blog - I’m eating MY lunch…or maybe because I was beside her and I was secretly hoping she’d offer me a bite - oh man I’m so selfish!!! None the less, how much of an adult did our teacher make her feel like? Adult learning…pish-posh!
