Happy new year to all students and teachers. It is such a wonderful feeling to be completely caught up at school, isn't it? No late assignments, no term papers looming; just clean agendas, new pens and pencils, clean lockers, and a chance do one's best.
Oh wait, that is only the scenario if you are a student. If you are a teacher - it is a new start, but 1) the SMART board wasn't installed until AFTER the first day of class, 2) the last bulletin board still isn't mounted, 3) the courses you are teaching change at the last minute, and 4) your desk is buried under piles of paperwork.
I love teaching, I relish the energy of a new school year,I was eager for Tuesday morning, and I tell myself every year that I will work harder over the summer so I am completely ready when school starts.
I just fool myself that way.
I'll get ready next week.
Life is good!
Life is so much easier for the students! I hope that things get ironed out quickly.
