I am a brand new teacher (2nd career) teaching remedial reading in a middle school in Asheville. I have also been inspired, prepared for a vigorous and entertaining conversation about an important topic, and then have been met with the "I'm bored"s. Although today it was "How do I get out of this class?". Sigh. Yet I wouldn't trade this job for anything in the world.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me that there are other people out there in the same boat!!Abbeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656908554946621165.post-3258747712399787052008-05-02T14:53:00.000-04:002008-05-02T14:53:00.000-04:00Your blog is so funny.

Every time I have a break and have time to sit in the wing chair by the window at home, with piles of inspirational teacher books beside me, I am ready to try something new. It works. It does, but I'd love it if I wasn't discouraged by the "I'm bored" comments. This is when I know the truth . . . relationships, not teacher performance are what keep me coming to work every day. Yeah, it isn't about them loving us, it's about us loving them.

I am not alone! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing,<BR/>JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468583371737726114noreply@blogger.com
