today was another day in room 206. i thought the nice week-long break would calm everyone down and they'd be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready to work. wrong! only 66 more days until school is out for summer!
i really don't hate teaching even though sometimes i sound like i do. it's just that some years are much harder than others. a teacher gets discouraged when it seems like no matter what he/she does the students don't seem to care about learning. it's even more discouraging when it seems like it's the majority of the class that doesn't care and then you have those few students who really DO CARE. i feel like i let them down because i'm constantly having to deal with the majority.
i had an interesting time teaching the basics of algebra today! wow! one student even asked me when in life would he use algebra. thank goodness i was ready with an answer!
