I Heard You Twice the First Time!!!

Ok. This phrase may have crossed our minds more than once during a lesson. There are times in which we are tired and we answer to our students' questions a little less effusively than usual.
Here's a book for Tired and Bewildered Teachers trying to have a break!

I Heard You Twice the First Time – Poems for Tired and Bewildered Teachers by Kalli Dakos.

 Meet the teachers who struggle with stress, failure, difficult students and a lack of time to “enjoy the joy” in their classrooms. Laugh with the teacher who is bewildered by the endless changes in her profession, and finally, meet the teacher who arrives at the Pearly Gates and asks the most important question of all:

Were my years in school
Worth all that work and time?

Join author Kalli Dakos on a poetic journey that will rest your teaching soul and inspire your career!

Here is one of the poems from the book:

Definition of Teachers

Astronauts,

Exploring

The far reaches

Of the universe

Inside of students.

Engineers,

Designing Spaceships

Strong enough

To carry children

On their journey

Through life.

Scientists,

Studying

The minds

And hopes

And dreams

Of the earth’s

Most precious resource.
