I came across a great blog post that I am including below...

I really hope you take a moment to read this!

I know the teacher in the blog talks about her High School aged students, but this message applies to all teachers in all grade levels!

I know the end of the year is a crazy busy time....and I think this post reminds us all why we commit ourselves to this profession.

You all amaze me....amaze and INSPIRE me everyday! We can all keep our head above water these final days...I believe in each of you!

Check out this Blog Post...it is worth your TIME!

I get it.

I had a student hurt my feelings today. Words that cut deep and wounded because there is always an element of truth perceived by the one being sarcastic.

My seniors may have three weeks left, but they checked out a month ago. Some days I wonder why I even bother to have a lesson. I could just assign a reading passage and the questions to answer from the end for the next fifteen school days.

There are teachers out there who do that…
