Sunday Night Blues
Thank you to Two Writing Teachers for hosting the March Slice of Life Story Challenge.
Molly, Zach and Annie always said they hated having a mom who was a teacher. I don't think they really hated it, and even if they did, it's worked out well for them as adults.
A got a taste of it today. At 7:00 pm we discovered that her homework wasn't done. I am pretty sure both of us would have chosen to get into our pjs and dive into a good book, but we took the high road and got to work. I have to say I enjoyed reading her essay and talking to her about her thinking. It ended up being a nice evening after all.
I find that as my kids get older, I feel more guilty for teaching because my attention more and more, and I feel my school work gets pushed aside.
ReplyDeleteI am reading this as I wait on my college student son to get home so I can read his essay!
ReplyDeleteI think that my kids have loved me entering the teaching field- they feel as though I can answer everything for them these days!
ReplyDeleteMy kids definitely have a love-hate relationship with having a teacher for a mom!!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest keeps handing me her college composition essay, "Make me sound smarter!"
ReplyDeleteI can relate- to the mom who is a teacher part, and the Sunday night blues... and reading essays. My girls are in college and they are still sending their essays for me to read. Happy Monday. And hope your spring break comes quickly. Mine ends tonight.
ReplyDeleteI was helping one of my granddaughters with some math homework earlier today. (5th grade) She didn't understand when I was trying to explain how to multiply decimals. She got frustrated and complained to her mom that she thought I was doing it wrong. Sigh.... I can't win. I'm glad your homework session turned out better, Julie. :-) ~JudyK
ReplyDeleteSunday nights can be the best....or the worst depending on how much other stuff I have gotten done earlier in the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAh, the old - homework isn't done scenario. I'm wondering if you have forgotten little tidbits like this until they happen again with the girls? I'm also relieved my house isn't the only house this happens in.
ReplyDeleteGreat post today. An interesting read for any person who would agree with your views. Long may these posts continue....advanced-writers.com
ReplyDeleteNowadays a lot of people find it hard to make themselves write an essay, college or academic paper. Especially when the topic is quite boring, or student has no interest in the highest mark. It all happens not only because writing is actually required some skills, but there is also another reason: critical lack of time. So it's totally understandable, - ask for help an online writing service.

ReplyDeleteI believe that my children have benefited from my decision to pursue the teaching profession; they now believe that I am capable of answering all of their questions!

Some websites require immediate attention in order to improve their rankings. There are many websites that provide excellent material, but that content does not always reach the intended audience. When I went looking for web design company in australia , I came across a lot of websites on the first page, but their ideas were all so clichéd and repetitive. As I scrolled down the page, I came across some excellent websites that provided useful information on a variety of issues.
