Those students, who normally hate school and do not care about what I’m teaching, actually learned something. And I actually enjoyed teaching. All because I took a few minutes to treat them like people. Imagine that!
Yesterday I actually took some time to get to know some of my students, talk about what they like, and joke with them. During class. Yes, it took a few minutes of instruction time, but it was worth it because it was one of the best classes we’ve had all year.
Students disrespect us.
Parents don’t care about us.
Admin blame us.
The world underappreciates us.
And people wonder why teachers are constantly leaving the profession.
Adoption should be more common. I don’t understand how people can know how many children need loving homes, but choose to keep having babies themselves instead. If you adopt a child, that baby is just as much your child. They need love too.
My best friend was suppose to get married today. Her fiancé lives in Peru. They’ve been waiting for his visa to be approved for months. Here they are trying to handle immigration the legal way, and they’re just getting screwed over by the government.
I will listen to just about any genre of music. Christian, rock, pop, country, lofi, hip hop, folk, indie, whatever. However, I cannot stand sad white boy rap. Now guess my husband’s music of choice… 😐
Our conversation on the way to any event: We really need to start taking pictures together
Us as soon as we get back in the car: We didn’t take a picture…
