I hate to admit it, but I have been crying a lot more than usual. It's just stress, OK, but still....
You know, as a teacher you put a lot of yourself in your job, because it isn't just a job. The kids need more than just instruction. They need someone who believes in them and cares for them. They want to know that what you are asking them to do has some sort of purpose.
So, when someone criticises your teaching, you can't help but take it personally, even when part of you knows not to.
Therefore, another part of you just wants to tell them all to go to hell, and another part wants to say f*** this shi* and go work for Trader Joe's.
But, for now, I'll just sob on my husband's shoulder and know that next year will be better.
