As for the hours and the treadmill, When I was teaching, I didn't think it could get any worse. These days, listening to my younger daughter, who teaches near Newcastle, I realise it has!

For instance, I can't find the right room, or I forgot to register and there's no spot for me, or I'll make it to class and realize I've missed some and haven't done any of the work that's due. I'm always half panicked in these dreams.

However, all his lessons were prepared in his own time, at the coffee table in our living room, so I know how much unpaid, invisible work can be involved in teaching - as long as the teacher is dedicated to the work and does not just see it as a job.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-28222533761851999932016-11-16T16:36:30.326+00:002016-11-16T16:36:30.326+00:00One day I too will be retired...cannot wait.One day I too will be retired...cannot wait.libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-58362476569629023472016-11-16T16:19:20.108+00:002016-11-16T16:19:20.108+00:00I'm not surprised you panic so much.

I have to say that I admire the dedication of teachers to break into the weekend for marking. My daughter has been complaining that she has so many classes that she has no time for lesson planning and has to do it in her own time. Fortunately, she now has a competent assistant which gives her a few free periods to do her planning.Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.com
