[quote=Anonymous]Just jumping on at p. 26 here, but no one is talking about how demoralizing it can be to work with young people. I taught for many years and loved it for many years, but there are so many days where the kids won't work, can't work, are rude, won't quiet down--and this is even in schools that are considered functional. The number of days that I cried or went home feeling miserable were higher than those of anyone I knew in a non-teaching job. You can plan so well and be creative, but the kids can just blow it all out of the water if they're not feeling it. I am in an office job now, and even when my boss or co-workers are frustrating, it's nothing like being in minute 10 of a 100-minute block scheduled class when Nick in 8B getting everyone to disrespect you because he's in a jolly mood. It's you alone with them for hours all day, and everything rests in your hands. It's so hard. [/quote]
