Breaking Old Habits

Hello Everyone! Time has been flying by, it doesn't feel like I have had much time to reflect upon our last class and we will be meeting again soon. I really appreciated the questioning and comments you gave me about my own question "How can I separate work and home". I really have been thinking about what Jon asked, "Do teacher's need to be organized to be good teachers?" I think that I have come to the conclusion that the ability to organize is not something that all teachers have; however, I feel less stressed in the moment of teaching if I take the extra time to get prepared prior to teaching. Sometimes it may take up more time than I would like it but it seems to make my life go easier in the long run. I have been trying to leave earlier and do less at home. It is a goal I am trying to set. Ironically it is now quarter after ten and I am still up grading math tests and doing my own homework. It is hard to break old habits! :-)
