She tells everyone she never wants to teach, and yet, that is what she is supposed to be doing. The supervising teacher has not encouraged her to take over - not sure if it is because she lacks the motivation or what. She was supposed to take over the class last week. I wonder what her university advisor will say when she visits?

Oh my! Well, actually, I think I'd have a heart-to-heart talk with her/him. I think I'd try to figure out what was going on in his/her head! A counselor without some teaching experience???? I don't know.

This is the funny part. She told me she has been seeing a counselor since she was four. I rarely hear of this.
