Today I had a bad day. That is very unusual for me. I think part of it is the time of the year and part of it is what occurred during the day. Problems with coworkers and a lot of things on my plate also contributed to my day of being in poor humor. I told myself when I got home that I have to get out of this funk! I have made up my mind that "you can't please everyone all the time" and that I am not going to let other people determine what my mood is going to be for the day. That's ridiculous! I am in charge of my attitude, not other people. If they want to complain and whine about everything then I will let them but I will smile and walk on.
do you really think your students need to read that you and your fellow teachers are having problems?
ReplyDeleteI thought that comment might stir up some conversation. The answer to your question is yes, I think it is very important that students understand that, as a grown up, sometimes you have problems with people you work with. The important thing for them to understand is that we find a way to deal with these problems in a positive manner. Hopefully they will take away from this another lesson learned. Everyone has problems in their occupation, and bad days, but I think it is important that kids understand that life is not all roses! I didn't mention names, or even what the problems were, so I don't see the harm in students understanding that all of us have problems to deal with.
