Thank you teacher, and all teachers, for what you do. 🍎
I've done well in my life and career, and I really do owe all of that to a few good teachers from my school days. The ones who were able to reach inside of me and give me the motivation to live up to my potential.
I suspect that even though you are all off on summer break now, you're not fully off work. As no professional is ever truly off duty. But enjoy whatever break you all can get this summer as you deserve it.
Due to stress before I quit student teaching, I think I was maybe getting 6 hrs a night. As someone who has always needed her sleep, this was not good. and was working with a group of students whose needs I'd never worked with, and as Hami knows, had an unhelpful mentor teacher. My professor helped me problem solve something, and charge my chair. Then, upon hearing drinking makes me sleepy, ordered me to go home, have a drink and go to bed. I salute those of you who can survive on little sleep.
@BlueRain: If it's so excellent, why are so many teachers leaving the profession these days and so many fewer college students choosing to enter the profession? It's ONE of the many reasons.
@MartinTheFirst: My teenagers are just as bad at not wanting to sleep, they tend to sleep better when I turn off the wireless router and take away their phones. I guess I just bore them to death, poor kids! But I always had a bad sleeping pattern, so I can understand.
