I got this graphic from http://www.clipart.com/
I thought this was a great picture to sum up chapter 12. We become so overwhelmed with work, that we forget to make time for ourselves. Although we did not go into teaching for the money, we still deserve a nice vacation on the beach. I live 5 minutes from the beach, so you are all welcome to join anytime.
You are so right. We do not do it for the money, but yes we definitely deserve a vacation. At the end of the year (when I am about to lose it on my 7th graders)we always talk about summer, and I tell them that summer was not created to give students a break. They give me a questionable look, and I say that it was made so that teachers would not go insane. Then my students all laugh, yet there is truth behind it!
