It's very easy to get caught up in judging how well you're teaching by your kids scores but just remember that you're a great teacher and you can't always do it all! I'm sorry you're so overwhelmed!

I'm not sure what state you're in, but here in Texas, third is a testing grade, and I'm scared!Tylyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106902147490350066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740304267388521269.post-81449309254078413372011-05-16T20:41:49.052-04:002011-05-16T20:41:49.052-04:00words to live by: "everything WILL be okay.&q...words to live by: "everything WILL be okay."Olivia.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707829128696422752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740304267388521269.post-34933176785494964392011-05-16T20:23:53.164-04:002011-05-16T20:23:53.164-04:00I know how you feel! Even though I teach 4th grade...I know how you feel! Even though I teach 4th grade, I have so many students who still work at a kinder or 1st grade level. It's not fair to the kids to be passed on from grade to grade and not be prepared for it. <br />I'm sorry you were put in a crap situation, but I'm sure you did the best with the kiddos that you could! I'll be thinking about you this week and I hope everything turns out well for you!!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287863272488692682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740304267388521269.post-20682243759890571902011-05-16T19:43:22.747-04:002011-05-16T19:43:22.747-04:00::hug::

I teach remedial reading for students who read at an elementary level. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I've cried so many times this year and I feel your pain. I have a class of 18 boys who have cussed me out on many occasions. You are doing the best that you can and you CANNOT beat yourself up for not being able to force them to learn everything you taught. Remember (and I know you know this) there are MANY other reasons why students don't succeed, you are only a piece of that puzzle. Your heart is so big, I can tell by your post, and you have done your part. Let it be, pray for them, and start counting down until our Summer break! You are almost there!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729108685546119475noreply@blogger.com
