I am tired and exhausted
And it’s only the start of Term 2
This teaching gig is getting kind of tough.
I bust my guts
Day in day out
And seem to fight the undefeatable
I am tired and exhausted
It’s not yet 7pm
I could curl up before dinner
And let the tireness win.
The days seem to repeat
An endless cycle of the same
And I know that seems quite strange
Teaching changes day to day
I turn up at 7ish am
And rush relentlessly
Even if I stop for lunch, even if I take a pee
I rush, I rush, I rush some more
Until I flee exhausted.
I return home nothing left in the bank
To turn around and do it all again.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE, ONE STEP AT A TIME

Stories about the challenges and adventures of a traveling, mid-life, unexpected widow
Teaching used to be a very rewarding career. Now? Not so much. Too many challenges, too many self-entitled students, too much “technology” interfering with teaching, too much “politics” (vs. actually teaching what students needs to know in a way that engages them and actually TEACHES them something). I’m glad I got out when I did (2010). I’m not sure I could have handled it much longer. I don’t know how you do it.

At the moment I am also wondering how much further I can go, however 90% of the time, my classes still cheer me up.
