This is my first year teaching...You give me hope... This is my first year teaching in the city (not my first year teaching ever, but my previous experience was in a rural town). I was definitely hiding in the teacher's bathroom Friday trying to stop crying and make my face go back to normal color so my students wouldn't know I was so upset!<BR/><BR/>O and the comment about teaching being "easy"... I'm right there with you... those people have No Idea. I'm beginning to think that the only reason teachers have day's off is so they can take a mental break before they mentally crash. And I wish I could hold the normal person's 9-5 work day... but I'm just dreaming now! :)Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612193022815421409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757781057687609304.post-60687856417636326062008-09-12T22:42:00.000-04:002008-09-12T22:42:00.000-04:00i'm so glad to hear your year is starting off well...i'm so glad to hear your year is starting off well! i too didn't believe how much better the second year would be--but man, what a relief! :)Nacho Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370735026568009605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757781057687609304.post-56447959267516155262008-09-07T16:04:00.000-04:002008-09-07T16:04:00.000-04:00I am a retired teacher who is now substituting. I...I am a retired teacher who is now substituting. I have heard comments over the years about how lucky teachers are because they work short days and have a lot of holidays. Your fiance is right about them never understanding. Unless you have worked as a teacher or lived with one, it's impossible to really know how much goes into the job. On a funny note, my second grade grandson told me that the kids are the ones who do all of the work and that I shouldn't be tired after subbing. I just had to smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
