Well, today my master teacher got passive aggressive again. I took the higher road and ignored it, but I'm starting to think she's just plain stupid.
I was introducing the students to the language of the Odyssey - having a blast assigning their "anonymous" blog names as greek characters, and i then passed over ogygia - which I pronounced the greek way, but she decided to "correct" my Greek. No biggy, but it was the umpteenth time she had tried to correct me in front of students. So I just said, "hey class, you have the mythology diva here, and she's teaching you tomorrow." (I was going to be out sick the next day and my master teacher knew that because I've been sick as a dog) and then she said, "oh no, you are the mythology diva" etc etc. What a stupid woman.
Anyway, when she saw that I didn't really care or pay any attention to her correction, I guess it worked because she apologized after class (quite profusely) and I just said it's ok and I don't care. I guess it's like the scene from the Godfather - "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
So much for this week. I'm tired.

I would hate to feel that I was being scrutinized by a master teacher. She might just be blurting out whatever comes to mind with no regard for how it sounds to you or the students.
