The Ethics of Attending an Ed Class and other moral conundrums

I'm in my ISIP class again and you know what? I hate it. It is a useless class with a useless teacher and I feel cheated having taken it. I feel this way about other Ed classes as well, and I don't really know what to do about it. I'm going to graduate with a BEd next year and what will I have actually learned about the theory behind teaching? I've learned from the practise part at this point, but that's about it. So should I even bother going to class when I so clearly do not learn anything? Should I bother getting up at 6:30 in the morning to attend my ISIP course to talk about cheating and how we SHOULDN'T deal with it? Useless.

Another problem I'm coming up against is the issue of my professional development portfolio. I'm not upset about this or anything because I know I can do it, but I'm just wondering about the technical aspects of it. I'm going to do a blog just like this one, but more professional. I need to figure out how to organize the blog so that it's not just all post and surplus; I need more text and less crap. I don't want to move to Wordpress because I don't think I know how to use it, but perhaps it's the smartest route to take at this point? Hopefully I'll find out enough about Blogger in the next month that my portfolio is bang up fantastic.

Class is over in 45 minutes. Excellent.
