After teaching humanities today, I am overwhelmed by the apathy of some students. Despite simply being there passively, their indifference almost smacks me in the face even when they are quiet and generally well-behaved. I struggle with the issue of class room discipline. I want to be open and engaging but sometimes it lends itself to disorder. It is frustrating. Today we opened a window to let in some much needed air and the sound of bagpipes wandered in. Who plays bagpipes at 2 p.m. on a Friday at Milligan? It was a tad distracting.
Even if teachers have a good schedule, teaching is very frustrating at times. It emotionally sucks you dry to teach in front of people who don't care.
