I teach 6th grade math in a school in Texas that is awesome, but I don't feel the heart there that I wanted... Anyway, I am a teacher of children, and I love them, but your posts help me grapple with the logical math side and connect it to my emotional heart side.<br />I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but for sure, please don't quit... <br />You too have a great Monday.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317352106624412787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260501974006453150.post-50251274320487391382009-11-10T09:40:59.026-05:002009-11-10T09:40:59.026-05:00glad to see you back at the blogging. the soaking...glad to see you back at the blogging. the soaking-up-pain aspect of classroom teaching doesn't seem to have discouraged you much; good. you're doing important work and doing it well. keep the faith. easy for me to *say*... i've lost almost all of *mine*... but still it took a long time to burn me out and i'm content that i've done right. you're younger and stronger and probably smarter (for all my advanced work; pro mathematicians aren't any smarter than amateurs any more than pro rock stars are better musicians than the kids banging it out in the garage: it's mostly about access to resources). so keep on showin em how we do it (with hearts and minds open).r. r. vlorbikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746118913980983815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260501974006453150.post-35550126404697842392009-11-10T08:54:04.723-05:002009-11-10T08:54:04.723-05:00This post is so awesome, and there's so much i...This post is so awesome, and there's so much in it for me to take to heart.
