It had been a very, very long day of teaching youngsters who didn’t want to be taught. The worst part was that she had at least three hours grading term papers ahead of her. Just the thought of trying to decipher the badly spelled, poorly worded, low-on-imagination, barely legible essays from a bunch of ninth graders who didn’t care if they passed or failed just made her feel even more tired. She was sure there had been a time that she’d truly enjoyed teaching, but with more and more children coming into high school without the basic reading and writing skills required to complete the course she was supposed to teach, much of her time was spent dealing with kids too angry to learn anything. After years in a system that ignored their failures and removed incentives for them to even try, was it any wonder more kids than ever seemed unprepared for the challenge of high school? The kettle finally boiled, and she levered herself out of the chair to make the cup of instant coffee that she so desperately needed.
