Re-thinking my purpose for teaching

Its winter break and I'm human again.  My thoughts are not competing for brain-time.  I realize the strength I have in my family.  All is well.  But the students and duties of teaching still beckon... the day after break will arrive.  So what's my plan of attack???  Do what works, without judgment.  Create worksheets that are interesting and challenging, provide power points without sound (less to hook up), post grades every other week and religiously keep records.  This will serve me well and the students will enjoy peace and order, relatively speaking.  Already I'm writing a mantra to read daily to keep a focus where it should be.  Actually, I want to do more than just survive.  We will see how long this cautious optimism lasts, but maybe that last statement was too pessimistic!

  1. All is relative my dear. Time is a wonderful shape inventor. Keep your optimism alive and move forward without regrets. This should be anyone's goal
