The greatest gift someone could give me would be more time…and maybe more energy to go along with it. Time is our most precious resource, certainly something I never have enough of. Between work, kids, chores, and everything else, my daily schedule fills up very quickly and I often end up working well into the evening hours. If I could just have an extra two hours a day, it would make a huge difference as to what I could accomplish.
Teaching
When it comes to teaching, time is a very scarce commodity that must be measured out very carefully. It is easy to spend an entire period answering one student’s question when you have a room full of 36 students! Longer periods, or block schedules are nice, but my school has 48 minute periods, six classes a day so the time flies by! I feel like I get to work and before I know it I am leaving for the day, hopefully with all the major issues dealt with.
