So there are days that being a teacher is really tough: it's hard giving consequences to my students because in all actuality, I am their biggest fan and their loudest cheerleader. But, I am also the one that has to teach them accountability and responsibility....sigh. BUT, then you have moments with your students that remind you of why you do this. Today I had a student tell me that he feels lucky to have me in his life because I never give up on him and never pass judgement (big smile!) It is really awesome when they recognize that about you; it can really brighten your day! Happy Thursday everyone!
P.S., this is what Max thinks about our new 4:30am wakeup call:
That's really sweet of your student. Teachers really do have a tough job and I wish they got paid better. I'm sure you're doing a great job.
