Sore Losers
OMG, I feel so awful, because today I made about half the class cry. I was teaching "How are you?" "I'm ___." to third graders today and we played a game. It was going really well, the kids were having fun and screaming as usual ... but I just didn't see the danger coming. Team Two was losing big time, so I said the next one is worth 10 points. Team Two lost again. So I said, the next one is worth 20 points. Team Two lost again. So I said, the next one is worth 50 points. Guess what? Oh horror of horrors, Team Two lost again. So by now, because of what I did, the score was like 100 to 10. Then the bell rang. OH $#%^!!! So Team Two starts bawling their eyes out, and that was the end of my lesson. IT SUCKED SO MUCH!!!! I am never doing that again. Usually they follow me all the way to the teacher's lounge and want more games. But this time, I left with half the class in tears. I feel like the biggest jerk in the world and it sucks.
