It isn't that there have been more meetings than usual, but it just seems lately that the union meetings and board of education meetings leave me feeling upset. Often, midway through the meeting, i'll take my index and middle fingers and check my pulse. My pulse is usually racing, frustrated, angry, and a myriad of other emotions intertwined.
This leads me to metaphors for teaching in 2012:
1. Every day that I teach, I walk on a tightrope.
2. Every word that I utter is analyzed, microscopically, from each child in the room. They know how "sue-crazy" and PC-minded that our society is, to a fault.
3. With all of the emphasis on testing and scores, I am basically an educational robot.
