							| Yes, I know. But then again - there are always those who do appreciate it and whose lives you touch without even being aware of it... Cherish that and be proud of being able to make a difference! |  8 Jun 2010

							| I didn �t mean to say it like that but even some people here don �t appreciate our efforts. I had a printable yesterday that took me a full day to make, 65 people got it and 3 people found it worthy of a thank you (27 downloads = no "thank you"), two of them I know well. Now THAT is sad or is it just really bad manners? 
 And, I was teaching a story about death in my German class today and a bird flew into the classroom, flew across the room towards/against the other small window and was dead a few minutes later.
 
 Oh, wait a minute, that makes me think, maybe I did bring death over the people that downloaded my ws and they couldn �t say "thanks."
 
 Bahrain, don �t be sad, "dum spiro spero" or as long as I live I shall not give up hope.
 
 Regards

							| I strongly agree with anitarobi.   Regina, what does a dying bird in your classroom have to do with this topic?? I really don �t get that - sorry for being so stupid. ;))   BTW, most people don �t think about how long we �ve spent making our wss. Either that, or they just don �t care...   I usually get a lot of THANK YOUs and in addition some very nice comments, too. Not from everyone, of course, but I think we just shouldn �t expect too much - neither from our ss nor from our fellow teachers!   |  8 Jun 2010

							| Very well said, anita, thanks a lot. But what topolina said is also the exact reality, teachers are always sacrificing for the sake of others (students & teachers).  So don �t worry dear Bahrain and try to bring as much fun as you can to your lessons. Have a good day!
