Can someone please explain to me how studying the hallways and cafeteria of a school that I will NOT be teaching at in the future is going to help me become a better teacher? How is taking photos of the surrounding area of a school going to improve my cultural sensitivity skills? Why is it important to understand what a business merchant in the local area thinks about the community they live in? I do not get the connection between this very long, very detailed assignment that took me over 10 hours to complete and kept me up til 4 am last night, and my future career as a teacher. Maybe it's because I am running off of 3 hours of sleep AFTER a day of waking up at 6:30 for work (at my real job), leaving two hours later to teach (my wannabe job) for 8 hours, then hitting school for 3 hours, and back to home for 6 hours of homework.
I don't know...my brain might just be fried right now and I will understand the significance of all of this busy work after finals, but somehow, I doubt I'll make the connection even then.
