Teachers, it's our time! #summerbreak
juin 17, 2014
Remember back in August, when I wrote about teachers going
back to school? I was happy to go back, but OH LAWD am I ever happy that it’s
June!

High school teachers, we have it good. Yes, we often deal
with rude, antsy teenagers. We listen to the broken hearted. We encounter
unimaginable spelling mistakes and geography mishaps (“But miss, Afrika is a country.”) But when June rolls around, our teaching days are
numbered, and our freedom is renewed! * angels
singing * Exam supervision
for a few hours, and the rest of the day to finish off corrections, enter our
marks, have sangria… It’s simply beautiful! (Extra special mention: God bless
elementary school teachers, who spend the entire month of June with their
students in hot classrooms. Honestly, hats off!)
We all seem to have that sense of accomplishment: we made it
out of the trenches; another year is over. It’s time to relax and catch up on hobbies
you can’t do during the school year (Hello, learning German!) Honestly, summer
is also the best time to get some planning done. Sounds a little crazy, working
when you don’t have to, but being proactive (even just a little bit) alleviates
some of the stress during the school year.

As the year was winding down, some students asked me how I felt. I calmly answered that I was looking forward to the end of the year, but what I was really thinking was “Schooooooooool’s out for summer!” We’re likely more excited for summer than the students are. The young don’t appreciate free time as much as adults do, and that’s a fact.
Ya, I’ll miss the sweet students I taught this year. They
might cross my mind as I leisurely stroll through a market on a weekday morning.
I might think of them as take a road trip with friends. I might even bump into
them at the mall. All I can say is that summer break is finally here, and I’m
very, very happy.
Bonnes vacances to all you hard working teachers! Cheers to the summertime!
