After 10 yrs I still remember how their eyes would get big and actually raise their hands to answer questions. Go back to that place in your mind. Its a great memory to fall back on when days are so great. I've also found being flexible is how you stay calm in the job. Sometimes the kids and their behaviors take the lead on how much learning is going to happen. Its usually parents and the other garbage that get in the way of teaching. Also remember, it is just a job. A very important one at that, but it can't be your life. I had that issue my first year, I really had seperate the two places!!!<BR/><BR/>You are a wonderful person, very calm and upbeat.

It does my heart good to hear that your teaching is going well already. I really had no doubt though. By the way, there are lots of concentration camps besides Auschwitz. I visited Dachau and it was a very "awesome" experience in the very true sense of the word. I highly recommend one of them. Anyway, can't wait to actually get to talk to you.
