\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night I dreamed I was teaching again. At the school I last worked in – the fact that it closed last spring having no bearing on my subconscious mind – pulled into the classroom on an emergency basis.<\/p>\n

But the emergency continued, and there I was week after week. The kids were second graders. Very energetic. Confused by my teaching style. Not motivated to rise to my expectations. Cuter than all get out, but noisy too.<\/p>\n

I was unprepared. No relationship with the students and thus no control over their behavior. No ingredients for the recipe that was doubling as a science experiment. No lesson plans. No idea of the curriculum. To make it, I would have to devote all my evenings, weekends and energy to planning.<\/p>\n

All I could think was, \u201cWhen will I write my book?\u201d and \u201cHow did this happen?\u201d and \u201cTeaching is the hardest work on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then the alarm clock beeped, and I was saved by the bell.<\/p>\n

But the memory of the dream – perhaps \u201cnightmare\u201d is more accurate – still lingers. And my thoughts fly to the teachers I know. They do the hardest work on earth every day, willingly, lovingly, creatively, and with great passion. They shape the future.<\/p>\n

Thank you, teacher friends. You are my heros!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
