Do you ever get all swollen with pride when you’re grading projects?
Also, the multiple cups of coffee are how I get through my day:
Holy shit I’m fat.

Sometimes, yes. It’s a great feeling!
Also yes to coffee, coffee, and more coffee.
I’m guessing we’re about the same size, but your beard is superior to mine.

Sometimes.
My greatest moments are when someone tells me I really helped them and made a difference.

The pride part is great. Lately though, I’m dealing with senioritis and underwhelming results from students who should do better. We’ve only got one more week of real classes then ‘dead days’ where no one shows up because they are either exempt and have absences banked to burn or they have to take the exams and there aren’t any further punishments if they don’t show up.
The only kids who show up are either stringent rule followers, nearly exempt and just have to come for a day or two to meet the attendance requirements, or so disengaged from the whole process that they don’t even know when they don’t have to be at school. No you won’t bring your semester grade up 8pts in the last 3 classes to be exempt/pass the class.

I have a two-day a week Term doing literacy support and the rest of the days are sub days for me at the moment. It’s nice when I see my reading/writing support kids getting better though! :)

M y father was a middle/high school science teacher - that post there is what you live on. Nice stuff . He got his biggest kicks on some of the model rocketry classes he did with the physics involved. I like to think some of his students are at Blue Origin and SpaceX right now.... Maybe some of yours will end up at Fred Hutch, the Mayo Clinic or even better.

AP exams for my courses are days away but the end of the school year is a month away, its going to be terrible as motivation they have left will fly away in the next week.

My AP courses all basically took that time for relaxed “fun” units. Was a pretty enjoyable time.

Yup, doing some labs regarding things that directly impact them as consumers but aren’t in the AP curricula.
