Teaching is hard

As rec staff, I have no idea what it's like to try to keep kid's attention for more than 5 seconds and make them learn. However, Friday the social studies teacher here asked me to come to his classes and talk about my experience with hurricanes and New Orleans. Everything was going fine until, who am I kidding, it was a bust from the start. First, two kids walked in to class, sat down and then walked right out at the bell (they came back) Then, two staff came to escort a very unwilling student to the office - this happened while I was giving my "presentation" and I completely lost my train of thought. Finally, at the last class of the day, the first kid who walked in said rather loudly, "I can't wait to get the fuck out of here". Meanwhile, all day kids put their heads on their desks pretty much the whole time I was there. So hats off to all of you who have to deal with that for more than just one day.
Peace
