Good morning, God. Thanks for this new day--I hope that I'm able to make it a positive one in many ways, but we'll see what happens! I know that I have many opportunities in the coming hours to make something special of the day, but things don't always go as planned, or as hoped.
Yesterday was very frustrating at school. There are those days when some students are too much, when their lack of caring and their lack of effort just becomes overwhelming. It gets very frustrating being in a classroom with students who just don't want to work. I understand much more why teachers burn out so quickly and so badly--we face students who give no effort, and then we're blamed for the fact that they don't learn. It's pretty sad. And I understand that there are many factors that contribute to their problems, and I do sympathize with them, but I can't fix their lives. I see them only in the classroom, and I have to deal with them on that level.
I don't think I'm asking for an answer today. I'm just kind of venting.
