This year has been extra challenging, and as much as I try to block out the negativity of lower grades, their warning of the years to come aren't any comfort. Challenging years make me a better teacher. Just not sure how many more challenging years I can handle. Today I felt like I was being pulled in a million directions. Kids crowding around my desk, all talking at the same time, and a parent observing to boot. (Watching her child, not me BTW.) IEPs every day, final PST meetings, awards, grades, parties...I'm not sure when "teacher tired" is worse: August or May. Right now, I vote may. 12.5 DAYS!!!!
