So peaceful and calm before the lights are turned on then students arrive. Class is almost done student raises hand and yells "What are we doing?" Students focused, calm intent on learning, thinking someone else's class Bell rings, students leave room in disarray - teacher exhausted, drained correcting, grading while family watches movie while eating, sleeping

Students focused, calm intent on learning, thinking someone else's class Bell rings, students leave room in disarray - teacher exhausted, drained correcting, grading while family watches movie while eating, sleeping
