10.11

Day was okay. Monday. Woof. I have class after school so it's hard to really get any time for myself in the evening.

Really, the biggest pain is that I've been losing weight. It's not too big of a deal, but I know that I'm just doing a terrible job taking care of myself. I need to do better.

The kids are doing well, but management is becoming an issue. The kids aren't flat out disrespectful or rude, but they are losing their focus, and I'm losing my friendliness and happiness. My positive attitude is waning.

I think I need to consider using some personalized trackers for my students. Maybe then they will be able to take the abstract big goal and put it in a tangible form that motivates them to be on track.

Then again, I realized today that I talk too much. I want to play the role of facilitator, not teacher. I want my students to discover the answer, not be told the answer.

We'll see how tomorrow goes.
