I still have one class to go, but those papers will have to wait until tomorrow. I've been at it since I got home around 4 pm. Not to mention the grading I tried to accomplish at school today.<br /><br />I still have 132 research papers to tackle. Most are 3-5 pages in length plus their works cited, notes, outline, and rough draft.<br /><br />I also wish there was another way to teach the skills of writing and critical thinking without overloading myself with grading. I'll take any and all suggestions.<br /><br />Maybe we would feel better if we graded at the same time of day. Kind of like grading buddies.

I don't push them too hard because I want them to embrace the subjects they love and be wooed into loving the ones they don't yet. It's a fine balance, and as a homeschool mom, I am always learning what is too much and what is not enough.<br />I wish at this piont in my life that I had gotten a teaching degree. I think it would really help me to do what I'm doing now verses my HR degree... which I don't know how to apply to this current position :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
