Throwing in the towel

I give. Blogging has become a chore and I think it is best to stop now before I decide to stop altogether. Actually, blogging isn’t the chore. I’m so frustrated and overwhelmed with school junk that blogging is secondary. Some days I just flat out do not feel like sitting down with the computer. Take for example now…I would rather go to bed early and rest. Instead I have to prepare for tomorrow. I have no desire to prepare for tomorrow. My students are completely unmotivated and it is beating me down. I know, it is my job to teach and motivate them. I say to you…try it and get back to me. Teaching is a give and take. Every class is different. I have basic material that is covered in every class, but my discussion is guided by student reaction and student questioning. It is very tough to be motivational when nothing you do works. My wish…I want them to care. They don’t have to care about the subject. I know that not all will. I just want them to care about passing.
Ready for break and it is a month away. I used to hate having spring break so early. I cling to the fact that in two weeks we will have a long weekend. Very thankful. I think having spring break in April will still be great. I just wish Jem’s was at the same time…ah well. He needs a break soon anyway so it works out.
So…that rant aside. Bye-bye 365. I will no longer post on obligation.
BTW, this was not an easy post to make. I am not normally a quitter. *sigh*
