What adds fuel to the fire here is that whenever I start feeling like this, I start beating the crap out of myself for doing so because everything I ever read and hear is how about I shouldn't blame students for what are obviously my problems. How this is all my fault for not, oh, I don't know, putting them in charge of their own learning or something buzzwordy.<br /><br />So, as someone who has been there time and time again, this post was refreshing and I hope the summer brings a much needed recharge.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379096331960338241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-81016892785672344122013-05-26T14:01:12.792-07:002013-05-26T14:01:12.792-07:00I realized I'd lost it (misplaced it would be ...I realized I'd lost it (misplaced it would be a better term) when several events during that teacher-wait time for graduation just gave me the giggles. I'd missed that and will get it back. It isn't burn out or a need for a sabbatical. It is a group of misfits who have been enabled and have absolutely no rules or limits. But they are gone and no one will look as bad again.<br />Ricochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594506449363717006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-615127040364023532013-05-26T09:55:11.382-07:002013-05-26T09:55:11.382-07:00Sounds like a little thing called "burn out&q...Sounds like a little thing called "burn out"....perhaps summer is coming along just in time!

Maybe you need to take yourself some sabbatical time.<br /><br />Laughter is good for the spirit.
