Well obviously being a teacher has really kept me busy!!
If I'm not at school then I'm grading papers
and if I'm not grading papers, then I'm hopefully cuddling with Kenny...
BUT most likely I'm past out on the couch at 8 P.M with the Olympics playing in the background!
Being an actual teacher has really opened my eyes to family, values and how it effects your children.
I teach two classes of 28 students and it is CRAZY to see all the differences between them all.
You would think, "Hey they are all 10/11, they can't be that different..."
but ohhh are you wrong!
Children are little mini-me's of their parents
Now, yes there are 1 or 2 that students Must be adopted, but for the most part,
once you meet the parents at parent teacher conferences, your student Finally starts making sense!
Now, this is super cute AND super scary at the same time!
For one, I hope that my child is like Kenny and I, and really exudes the morals and values that I know are so important to his/her future.
BUT THEN, I know that I'm going to need to be:
more kind,
less sarcastic,
happy,
patient,
hard working,
and the list goes on and on...!
Now the question is, how to do you this?
How can I get my child to kind and responsible and not like one of my hellions that drive me Nuts?
Obviously I know that my child isn't going to be perfect, even if he/she were to see perfection at home
(which by the way THEY WON'T)
but I know I will be expecting these traits!
How do you hold your child accountable for things you don't do perfectly yet/ ever will either...?
That is the question
hmmm well for right now I'll keep working on those traits and leaving the parenting to the parents,
and the teaching academics to me.
Even though I do try to slip in some words of wisdom throughout the day as well.
Maybe one day I'll have all the answers
