The Heart of Teaching
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 | Sara the Teacher
For some reason, there’s a small group of students who hang out in my classroom after school 2-3 days a week. Of course, many of them are required to see me for extra help on their homework (per their parents’ instruction), but I find that even after they’re done with the work, they like to stick around and be silly. Despite the fact I’ve been working with students all day (including lunch), it’s hard for me to kick them out. After all, this is a safe place for them to be where they can stay out of trouble and they seem to enjoy themselves. My logical side can’t wait for them to leave so that I can really get some work done. My “heart,” however, often causes me to join in with their goofiness. They help me remember my true calling.
