I'm worried that I may be a totally different parent... as in not as "cool" as the teacher I am perceived to be.<br /><br />It's great to hear that you're thinking about TFP. I've been conflicted about moving to KHI long-term and if that happens, I will definitely be knocking on their door. <br /><br />Thanks again for your readership :)Yo Mista!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870755867688489866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-31250825632753538972012-03-20T02:28:29.889-04:002012-03-20T02:28:29.889-04:00It is very hard to keep up the morale.

But if it makes you feel any better, I think you'll turn out to be a great parent. I know that we're biologically designed to love our parents and children, but doing that out of choice is great. And you might just have a good chance of getting that. <br />I'm in the thinking process of applying for a Teach for Pakistan fellowship myself. Let's see how it goes for me.Amna Khttp://www.amnakausar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-29129719986525485512012-03-19T22:15:11.112-04:002012-03-19T22:15:11.112-04:00Teacher Survey Shows Morale Is at a Low Point

Thanks for your comment. I understand how...@ Amna:<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. I understand how difficult it must be to be among the few who might actually care about their education and future. There's always a few students like that in my classes, but it is very hard to stay motivated (for them and me) when only 2 students out of 30 show...Yo Mista!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870755867688489866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-91549319991574697912012-03-19T05:04:47.535-04:002012-03-19T05:04:47.535-04:00Had I been your student, you would've been a h...Had I been your student, you would've been a happier teacher. I hated coming to college to find out that the class for which I woke up at 6am is not taking place because the teacher hadn't shown up. And it was not only for the morning or late afternoon classes, I think it accounted for almost any time of the day. While the other cheered, my friends and I cursed under our breaths. Hence, we were the 'hated ones'.Amna Khttp://www.amnakausar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234657308696440651.post-15061819174221098502012-03-16T20:50:32.653-04:002012-03-16T20:50:32.653-04:00I think I know who you're talking about.
