I am sitting in the Arclight theater bar after a long day of grading papers. I began discussing the quality of their work with my husband and began to realize that I have set the bar quite high for my students. They often say that I am drift yet enjoyable, and they do not mind rising to my expectations. This makes me happy and then I wonder why I am thinking of my students on my day off. I feel that sometimes teaching is a 24/7 job and there is no end. Many of my colleagues grade, lesson plan, and try to develop or find brilliant plans on their days off. We never truly give ourselves a break, which is strange because the kids love time off from us!
Do you give yourself a break from the monotony of your job or is it constantly on your mind? Is teaching the only 24/7 job ?
