Just a CLASSic

Tonight, I saw a Gerry Brooks video.  Now, if you are in education, you likely know his name.  He is a principal with a drawl who creates hilarious videos about education.  Tonight, this one settled a bit differently with me though.  It was a short video where he simply reenacted an interview with a candidate.  He very professionally asks, "What is your weakness?"  He then answers as the interviewee and says, "Classroom management."  Music comes on with the words "Thank you...Next!" I see why this is funny; I really do. But yet, a part of me inside cringed. Maybe it was because I used to be in that position.  I did go to interviews and say that my biggest weakness was classroom management. Now before you start saying anything, that was not all I said.  I did say that it was an area I was continuing to grow in and was finding ways to further develop myself.  I also went on to talk about Whole Brain teaching and how it had changed my teaching.
