Isn't this the best picture EVER!! I caught them in the act! They are so cute!

I had a revelation today about school and students. A student that i really didn't think i had an effect on came and visited me today he was making up a final he missed in another class and just stopped by to say hi and to say have a good summer and he shook my hand. I realized that it's not what i do during the year that matters to me or that is the reason why i teach but it's seeing my students afterwards. And i guess i have some type of affect on them i'm not sure how, Andy thinks it's my non-threatening attitude which is the reason they can feel that they tell me anything, and they do. I have also realized this year that i'm not passionate about Biology like a teacher should be and next year will be the deciding year of what i should do. Perhaps i should go the counselor route. I'd have more freedom, I wouldn't have to worry about discipline, or lessons, or grading. But there is always something i'm sure that i'll find that i don't like about it but hopefully i'd like it better than teaching....

Things to ponder.
