Not gonna lie---today was a rough day at school. In all my years of teaching there are maybe 6 or 7 days that I can remember going home and being completely drained of all my enthusiasm for teaching---today is one of those days.
Truthfully I was planning on doing a "thankful for Tuesday" post anyway because who doesn't enjoy a day off. But today it takes on a little different meaning.
Something was brought to light on Friday that made me do some exploration today into a situation. I'm sorry but that is as specific as I will get. I will keep specifics at school private. I will only say that it involved many students and it calls into question their current character. The good news is that they are still very young and are a work in progress (aren't we all really) and hopefully we will be able to chalk this up to a learning experience that will help develop their future character.
Anyway, I left school feeling very defeated and am so grateful that tomorrow is my day off. I am enjoying my day off more this year because Zack homeschooling = being able to sleep in. In past years, even with a day off, I still had to get up by 7 to get Zack to school on time.
So tomorrow I will rest and recharge and be ready to face another day.
