So today is my last day of summer vacation. Sigh. It was great while it lasted.
I really love teaching; don’t get me wrong. But it’s hard to trade the leisurely pace of summer for the early morning alarm, the daily commute, the chronic grading. I don’t think this is just a teacher thing, either; if you have school-age kids, you are probably feeling the same way.
But I do have a few tips to make the transition less painful. You can find them in my latest column. I hope they help you make the start of the school year a good one for you & yours.
P.S. As predicted, it’s finally getting warm around here.
