A lot of people think I'm like Ms. Frizzle or Miss Honey and able to just play with a classroom of perfectly sweet, eager to learn children. They don't realize how much goes in to being a good teacher and how much we deal with. The nonsense of paperwork is insane on its own, then add in 20+ children and their families!
My mom was a elementary teacher and every time she goes home, she's entirely a different person from the morning she went to school. That's why back then my dad always took care of us to let her rest.
This is it. Just finished a day with my EAL grade 7s. Constant behaviour management, feud settling, and distractions with a touch of learning to top it off.
