I've been pretty burnt out lately teaching 8th graders math. It's not the math part that gets me. And it's not the teaching part that gets me. It's the part where the kids are dumber than most rocks and on top of that their home life is a mess and they don't care about school, or me, or anybody really. That's the part that really gets me. I need some compassion in my heart.
