- grading or marking, as I like to say thank you Canada.
- writing lesson plans
- classroom management
- dealing with their childish problems, "He stole my pencil." "She looked at me funny." and so on.
I know that classroom management is essential and I would say that I, for the most part, have them in line, but the continual having to be consistent and insistent, BRUCE, can be tiring and repetitive.
I try to do as much grading as I can in class, but feel as though I am wasting valuable teaching time. If I did not I would spend all of my time grading/marking and I do not want it to be my life.
At the school I am at we have to do full lesson plans, very detailed, which can be irritating, has become much faster.
I do not event know how much many times I have said, "I am not teaching kindergarten. If I wanted to I would be, but I am not. So please deal with your own problems and stop complaining about everything little thing."
It is a learning curve for sure and I hope that I can find some good routines for grading and what not. To save my sanity.
