Hot Damn it's been a long time since I posted!
Apologies to any who have been checking in regularly - I've probably lost every reader out there. Post a reply if you're still reading!
I don't know what happened today with my kids but I went through my toughest day in terms of scheduling with almost nary an incident to report.
Tuesdays are usually brutal. I have 4 straight classes in the morning and then an hour and a half straight of Drama. That would normally be ok but I'm usually exhausted and Drama is damn near impossible with these kids. They really don't want to do it it seems. I think we could do a much better job though. We need to start with just playing games...anyway! Enough about that.
Four straight classes of engaged students. Unbelievable. I had points where I was standing there watching them work - completely unsure of what to do with myself. Usually I'm arguing with them. Or they're arguing with me. Is this what teaching in a normal school is like? I actually have energy left over. Usually I'm so tired I can't stand up by the end of the day. It's also amazing how my disorganization and inability to get any tasks done outside of lessons faded away. It's stress I tell you! I've been so overwhelmed I can't think straight.
So here's to one good day!
I'm sure it'll be WWIII tomorrow. :)

Welcome Back! I wondered if Edukator as your alter ego had fallen off that small island you now call home...

Not fallen off. Dropped off...as in to sleep every night from exhaustion.
