To my students of past, present, and future,
I hope you learn the subject I teach. But most of all, I hope I make you laugh, that you are inspired by moments in class, that you feel safe, welcome, cared for, and more.
You becoming a better person is the reason I do this job.
Here are the things my friends can do at work:
1. Pee
2. Get coffee
3. Spend fifteen minutes chatting leisurely with a colleague
4. Go out to lunch
5. Complete paperwork and other job-related tasks during the actual work day
6. Sit down occasionally
As teachers, we often hesitate to talk about how hard teaching really is. We have to be honest about the challenges teachers face if we’re going to work toward addressing them....and teachers deserve the public’s understanding as well.
3 weeks of teacher prep. Unhappy I'm losing my last month of summer, relieved I feel prepared for the start of the school year... It's a love/hate relationship.
