Teacher Tip#5: Vent to Another Teacher

I remember when I first started teaching. It's all I talked about to everyone! My friends, my family, even my pet knew about my day. "My kids here", and "My kids did this" were the words that came out of my mouth daily. However, the reality is, no one wants to hear it.

Teacher Tip#5: Find another teacher friend to talk to.

No one else if going to feel your pain and sympathize with you the way another teacher will. They've been there. Despite all the talk from people in our society that "anyone can teach", it's not true. Not ANYONE can teach. Grasping and maintaining teenager's attention for a one hour, 90 minute, or 2 hour block is not easy! It can be the worst two hours of your life!
