HANG IN THERE, TEACH!

At this time (with the Coronavirus quarantines), our lives are turned upside down.  For example, in my district we are currently doing a modified schedule called a "soft closure" where teachers essentially teach using online resources and students do assignments at home.  But we are expected to be in our classrooms striving to work all day.  It's a tricky time to teach. 

Instead of having some fancy quote today, I would just like to refer you back to the title of my blog: HANG IN THERE, TEACH!  Seriously, hang in there.  Teachers, this coronavirus craziness won't last forever.  You can do it!  Again, I say HANG IN THERE!  Just keep loving and keep doing your best.  As Dory says in Finding Nemo "Just keep swimming!"  If you need some good laughs and a pickmeup, Finding Nemo is actually an excellent place to start, in my opinion.  Click on the link below to watch it

Next I would say to take heart from the famous quote credited to Robert Schuller, "Tough times never last, but tough people do." It's so true.  These tough times won't last forever, but we can pull through them together.  (Look, I even rhymed in that sentence.)  You may even want to read his book from the link below for more encouragement.



If you are looking for even more encouragment for teaching, you might enjoy my blog post called "You Make a Difference, Teach". (Click here to view it.) You might also enjoy just browsing my blog archive to read all the uplifting messages

As always, hang in there, Teach!
Happy Teaching,
Frank
