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!

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!

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!

Hi, Bahrain!
Don �t get so disappointed...Anita has said it all: After all, let �s face it...Isn �t that what happens in the world generally? You can �t win them all...Be glad for those you have touched and try to learn from those who don �t appreciate your work...Maybe you �ll improve your  weaknesses, or, if you see that they are people who generally aren �t very grateful to anyone, you will gain new confidence in your work through those who do appreciate it...
P.S.: Topolina, I think Blunderbuster �s story is somehow connected to her "wacko" post yesterday(http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=20064&page=1)...and I quote from Blunderbuster �s today �s comment "maybe I did bring death over the people that downloaded my ws and they couldn�t say "thanks.""...But, then again, only she knowsWink

thanks all but i am really sad because of my Ss,,
 
think of how i spend on searching here or making useful activities and teaching them , treat them us my childern , but they started spreading rumors around the school about me and it was just lying. i wont forget that ever! it makes me like evil.
i �m lucky i trust myself and it wont effect me ever but it was hurtful. it hurts me aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot.
