Can you REALLY not think about school, students or teaching....
 
Dear colleagues!
Can you REALLY,HONESTLY,
CROSS YOUR HEART AND
PROMISE,
that you won�t think for one single minute in your holiday about:
 
students
curriculum
school
worksheets
text books
other teachers
homework
forgotten essays


or anything related to teaching????
huh? can you?

(I�m not sure I can - but I already know my mind has been warped by my work!)

Goodness, I am so glad that I am not the only crazy workaholic here! Wink I work through Christmas break and my mind is constantly trying to think of fun things to do for the ones coming... and the ones not coming, I�m... "hmmm.. what can I do with them in January!" LOL

You are right!  We can�t stop thinking about school, students or teaching during vacations and� guess what? Not even after we retire!!!  Teaching is a never-ending passion.  It does not have expiration date or even time-out for the holidays!

I soooooooo agree with all you�ve said!!! I got home from work today, got behind my computer and started creating new worksheets Tongue

I always think that if I show my students that languages and learning languages can be fun, they will put more effort into learning - not that they do and they don�t always appreciate all the effort we, the teachers, put into making learning a fun experience, but at least I can say that I�ve given them the opportunity!

Happy holidays to ya all!!

And let�s try taking some time off to recharge our energy levels (not that ESL teachers ever lack that Wink)

Hi everybody, I�ve just started my Christmas holidays and all I can think of is how I can create really useful printables now that I have time. I still wonder what will happen to me if I ever have to look for a job!!!! (I�ve been running my own school for 26 years, so maybe I have one!) I can honestly say I�ve never looked on this as work. I wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas and everything you could wish for in 2009. Love Rosemary. (Irish with a Spanish flag, referring to an earlier topic!)
