Well, it's Friday and just about time to leave school for the weekend. The last day of not having students - WAAAANGH!!! Just kidding, how could I not be looking forward to 20 or so 16 to 18 year olds that have the world completely figured out?! It's my job to convince them they don't have a clue - and maybe give them one or two!
Seriously, though, teaching any age, anywhere, these days is challenging to say the least. With all of the social and family issues many of our students face today, it's a wonder that we can reach them at all. It has been said of teachers that we spend more time with a student each day than most parents do - which gives us an awesome opportunity to make a difference in a child's future. Most importantly, it is more about equipping students with the confidence to succeed than it is about filling their heads with the knowledge we offer!
