Yes, I’ve been a bad blogger lately.
I’ve wanted to write, but I’ve been swamped with teaching responsibilities and extracurricular activities such as these…
Although I don’t have children playing high school soccer anymore, I still love the kids from Rooster’s school, and I feel like I’ve got this, my last year, to support a few more kids and get them graduated.
The basketball? Well, see, I have five students playing on JV and Varsity, so I wanted to support them too.
I don’t think that most people realize that a teacher’s job extends way beyond academic activities.
We invest huge chunks of ourselves into our charges’ non-academic lives.
We can’t help it.
Students have a way of working themselves into our hearts.
And so, if my blogging is sporadic for the next little while, it’s either because I’m lesson planning, attending sporting events, or sleeping from the fatigue that has overtaken the remaining hours of my life.
