Teaching--not a job for sissies!

What a hard job we have to do!

molding and shaping young minds...

sometimes pounding learning into them...

with all the paperwork...

discipline issues...

dealing with parents...

planning...

grading...

technology...

and on.............................................
and on.............................................
and on.............................................

We just need some time to kick back...



let off some steam...





see what other people have going on in their teaching careers...





(Then maybe ours may not seem so bad after all!)

We all have experiences we will always remember:

trying ones...

ones that really get to us...

emotional ones...


weird ones...

humorous ones...

downright hysterical ones.

We all have incidents on almost a daily basis.


Or, we have had them in the past.

Or we observed them when we were in school.

Or we know someone else who has told us a story.


We also have people along the way that have influenced us--

some in positive ways...

and others in negative ways...

I invite you and your teaching buddies to contribute to this blog as we share our experiences.

Hopefully we will all find some support from each other in many ways as we are doing the toughest and most underpaid job that exists but making a difference in kid's lives every day.
