[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In English at our kid’s big-3, the new teachers are phenomenal and the ones that have been there forever are the ones calling it in. Times do change. Teachers need to stay fresh and update materials and methods a little occasionally. [/quote]

I’m a private high school English teacher. I’m going to be completely honest: this job takes 60-70 hours a week to do WELL. The younger teachers still have energy. I’ve been pulling these hours for 14 years. I’m slowing down and can no longer devote all weekend to commenting on essays and planning new lessons.

Please take a moment this holiday season to thank those phenomenal teachers in your life. What they are doing in the classroom comes at a great personal cost.

Planning should not be too difficult for you after many years? I understand that grading is a huge time suck but don’t you have a total of approximately 60 students? Is it really that bad? Also you get 3 months off in the summer. And another month with winter break and spring break. [/quote]
