Today was one of those days in the life of an educator where you think to yourself, "why am I doing this?" I think I may have asked myself that at least 1,000 times today.
I felt like the kids didn't hear a word that I said today. I felt like they all could care less that I was up there trying to teach them something.
Then it was class picture day. Enough said. The poor photographers had to take the photo 7 times! Getting a crew of first graders to all look the same way and smile is like trying to herd cats. OH MY!
I swear I want to get a recorder and tape myself sometimes. I think I may say, "sit on your bottom," "please don't talk when I am talking," "Tommy, Tommy, Tommy....."
Maybe it's just a slump. I went through this at 7 years of teaching. Now I'm on 13 years....maybe it's another one of those slumps. Really not sure how some people do this for 30-something years.
So, I think I will be a banker.
Be a banker! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou'll pull through!
It's funny, just the other day I started singing "The Sun will come out tomorrow..." because I too was having a rotten day!
Bankers have the same problems, the only difference is it is BIG kids they have to deal with. lol...
