Deep thoughts on teaching.

Well, the summer classes are not so easy. In the last couple of days, I have had to develop my personal code of ethics AND my personal philosophy on teaching. My brain hurts. So does my heart. I am trying so hard to better my students. How can I write on paper all that I feel without sounding sappy? How do I put into words all the challenges these children face and that I wish I could take it all away? How do I put into words that half of them need new parents? Much pondering going on. That is all due on Tuesday. I have a nine page power point due on on Thursday and a quiz on Wednesday. Did I mention I have five classes to complete between Monday and Thursday? I must stop or I am going to be truly overwhelmed.

Tonight, the Bass' are coming for BBQ turkey breast. Tom Russell style. It will be good to sit and talk with friends. First, I have to go make sure my philosophy statement is in APA format.

Happy day all.

Good luck getting it all done! It won't be long and you'll have your summer back, like you said. Yay!
