After about 3 hours I think I'd pull my hair out like a crazy person and bolt for the door. I adored several of my teachers while I was in school - but I cannot imagine being one. You are amazing!

I'm not a teacher myself. But my Mom is and I ask her almost daily how she does it. I guess I'd handle it if I had to - but teaching now a days is not fun. It's hard hard work. You teachers deserve the utmost respect! Thanks for all you do! <br><br>People need to think of it this way sometimes. You teachers keep those kids learning and doing for almost 7 hours (maybe 6 after lunch and recess breaks)! I know parents who can't get their kids to sit and do one thing for 10 minutes!! I'd like to see a parent keep a child going for 7 hours a day - haha<br><br>All this coming from a parent.

All of it. I also work, pretty much seven days a week. Five on road, and seven with phones and such... except I've taken to turning my phone off on sundays out of fear I will go mad. Even when I'm on "holidays" I'm expected to return calls. And all my learning takes place in my own free time.<br><br>alynda dear, whatever happened to our lives?kirbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-22661399043205632402007-04-17T04:00:22.000+10:002007-04-17T04:00:22.000+10:00Teachers don't have holidays.
