When a student describes what they think their future will be like when they don’t put any effort into anything
teaching
When I clean and re-organize my classroom and am asked for specific paperwork
When I try to stay positive when I have so much work to do
When it’s a holiday
When I change the lesson plan at the last minute to play a team building game
When students hand in work from last semester
When the cafeteria is closed and students have to use the vending machines
When I have to block the door to stop students from leaving before the bell
When I threaten to kick a student out of class if they do one more thing
They test me like:
When I catch students in a lie
