I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

Accusations

Accusing a teacher of not thinking that their students have feelings is about the worst thing you could do. 

Teachers work very hard and have to make difficult decisions every day. 

Please understand that the students' best interests are ALWAYS in mind and that often in life, there are disappointments. We can't always get what we want. And we have to get up gracefully and move on. What an excellent learning opportunity.

Dear Universe:

Casting is hard. There is always somebody that is disappointed.

Working for free is hard.  Especially when you hear other people complaining about what they DO get paid. Somehow my sympathy button is broken on that one.

Doing something you are passionate about it great but hard. You just want it to be perfect. Is that so much to ask?

Jumping through hoops is necessary but hard. Sometimes these hoops seems to be never-ending. Guess I'll be jumping for the rest of my life. This is something my students dont' understand yet.

Teaching is inspirational. I am so happy right now that I get to be a part of so many people's lives in a creative way. To every teacher out there, I am so inspired and proud of what you do. It is hard.
