A New School

Many days, I wish that things with my job (and teaching in general) were easier. I feel like, no matter what I do, it's like pulling teeth with my students.

They aren't motivated.

They don't care about completing their work (or passing the class).

They aren't very easily excited ... I mean, even the prospect of working with ten test tubes filled with unknown chemicals doesn't cause a noticeable reaction!

It makes me sad that there is so little enthusiasm for learning and just plain expanding one's universe with these kids.

Maybe I need to expand my universe and move to a different school ...


Something similar to the one I encountered while in Mexico would be nice.
