Teaching My First Year

Tales of a 5th Grade Charter School Teacher

Discouraged October 27, 2009

I’m so ridiculously discouraged right now.  The students took a unit test on the Renaissance this morning.  Their scores are looking horrific.  They have unit test for science this afternoon.  I hope they do better on the science test.  If not, I’ll feel like a failure as a teacher.

    I would fail a test on the renaissance…and probably not because of having bad teachers…hopefully the science section went better!

    Don’t feel like a failure. It takes months before we even really know our students and know how best to work with their skills. We can’t make them learn either. They have to decide they want to. Maybe they all have test anxiety like me. Ha. Hang in there. We will make it!
