When I was in Ethiopia, teachers didn't get paid, had 80 students per class, and usually sang a song of praise before class began--they were frustrated, but they loved their kids.<br /><br />You are a great teacher--no longer a newbie! I think that your sense of humor will keep you in the profession for a long time! I hope so (for the kids' sake)!<br /><br />Your friend,<br />Rebecca Simcoedocsimcoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592416932521355167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80073936114343256.post-77519912320090192532011-03-23T14:34:52.485-05:002011-03-23T14:34:52.485-05:00Hi Paul!
Enjoyed your post. I vote to fight. I...Hi Paul! <br /><br />Enjoyed your post. I vote to fight. I get why some teachers fight against change - it is simple human nature. For them, technology is a tangible advisary. I have learned to be patient with the folks who chose to come to classes ABOUT technology and get upset and resist anything new. At the basest point of nature, they are dealing with a pretty serious threat to their identity as a person and a teacher. It's freaky - really. I can't say that I haven't been there once in a while. We all have. So, again, I try to be patient and remember we are all in different places at different times. <br /><br />All that being said, as you saw in my blog post, some days, I get frustrated with the frustration! <br /><br />Just sharin'<br />Lee AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
