Liz– it is a tough transition- hard getting used to students and then now returning to finish up grad school is a big leap.. it really does take a gear shift.. and you spent a great deal of time and energy really teaching children and so yep the shift back is not always easy..
(plus the bang to your head did not help)
No, no it did not! I know who the source is and I got onto him for telling (all in good humor).
I feel like I can’t leave them! I went back today to nag the three kids who hadn’t turned in their notebooks for the unit and grade them so I could rest easy that I had completely taught ALL of them the entire unit. I also promised a lesson explaining the differences between socialism, capitalism, and communism…kids were constantly asking questions about that (especially when we discussed current events). I told them that would come after graduation when my projects were done.
