One thing that popped out to me in this chapter was on the first page when a girl Montoya says that she gets annoyed when students are disrupting the class because she wants to learn. This popped out to me because I was the same way in high school. I would get really annoyed when people would disrupt the class and I would also feel bad for the teachers because I felt people were being really rude to them.
It does ot shock me too much that a lot of students want to learn in the classroom because previous chapters already said that students want us to be excited and know the subjects we are teaching. We can also see the wanting to learn from students when they get frustrated with substitutes. Students want substitutes who know the content being covered in the classroom. They do not want a babysitter to watch over them. I remember teachers telling me in high school and middle school that substitutes were not baby sitters, but I always felt that they were because all they did was deal with behavioral problems.
