Sometimes

[learnteach]

it's best just to relax. Aaaaah.

Still the big classes, but as long as no bloodshed, and everybody learns, it's all good, right? Except some can't learn in a boisterous environment.

Mmmm. Steak and Pyrates and yeah.

Biking 101, with the road cuts, is scary.

Students are clearly failing the summer school class and not caring. What's up with that?

It's hard to understand.

At an earlier stage of life, things may be clearer. My future mom-in-law has been teaching summer pre-school in a low income area and I've been listening to her talk about the experience. It's frustrating (dealing with the adults) and tragic (with some of the children). She sees the dark the path that some of these tiny little children are walking and it is heart breaking. At the same time, it's a crappy and stressful place to work. She is heartened by the improvement in the kids but the adults she deals with treat her pretty crappy because they resent the fact that she teaches at Kensington during the regular school year.

Hang in there, you are doing everything you can and every child that learns is a victory for you.
