Well we're at the end of another term and WHEW! I survived! As I get more and more into teaching I am realizing more and more just how deep this hole goes...
I watched as my exam students went through, what I call "burn out" where they refused to learn anything more. They're like "Miss....PLEASE no more!!!!!"
I watched as clueless parents STILL insisted that their child is not wrong. They're like "Who Lewis??? He would NEVER!"
I watched as some individuals who claim to and get paid to be teachers took advantage of the "system". Work to rule? Maybe. They're like "Steups...whatever yes."
The general concern I had for my students has deepened into genuine care and love even. Not for all though...eh eh..some of dem bitches just evil! But in some cases, its really heartbreaking to see them searching for someone - anyone to look up to. And usually, whether we want to be or not - it ends up being us. Great.
All in all the term was TIRING. I cannot say that I was not counting down the days to Easter vacation. Between SBAs, Mock exams, end of term exams...it wasn't easy at times. So the kids are home - the vacation is here and... beach here I come?
