I happen to know for a fact, that many of my coworkers take naps after work on a regular basis. Today, I just kept chanting "three more weeks" over and over in my head!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113533500702336140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-55017282110263372362011-11-28T08:26:59.292-08:002011-11-28T08:26:59.292-08:00I have to admit that reading IF blogs by many ladi...I have to admit that reading IF blogs by many ladies who are teachers, has really elevated my understanding of that profession. <br /><br />I am not an educator myself and have only interacted with teachers in school and Univ, so to get this type of insight into the "back end" of the business and to hear your stories and the amount of prep work you do after hours, I am quite awed. <br /><br />You ladies rock!Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666376683383060063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-51504406763264430462011-11-28T05:06:25.684-08:002011-11-28T05:06:25.684-08:00Kristina, honey, teaching is a hard job and middle...Kristina, honey, teaching is a hard job and middle school can be atrocious. It is so much worse when it's not your classroom and "your" kids because you have to be careful not to step on toes (like it sounds like your coworker did). I'm glad you're working, but I'll be honest and admit that I do not envy you. I wish you strength for the next three weeks and a mental/ emotional flexibility to carry you through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
