In teaching, you spend a lot of time repeating yourself.
You feel like a record stuck on repeat. Every. Day.
The kids don’t always listen to you. Even when they look like they are, they often daydream about something else… I used to be one of those kids.
It becomes even more frustrating when it’s not just lesson specifics, but things we’ve been repeating every lesson since September.
Write down your title, write down your date, make your work in red pen, and so on. These things sound trivial, but setting high expectations starts with the small things.
