Decisions, decisions
Sometimes I get really tired of making decisions.
One of our principal's favorite sayings is that teachers make more decisions in a day than brain surgeons do. I can believe it. I have to decide what to teach, how to teach it, and what order to teach it in, as well as all the little decisions every minute (do I let her go to the bathroom? Do I say something about the pencil-tapping now or see if the kid stops? Do I just go stand by him to try to get him to calm down? What do I say? What do I do when a kid does _________ (fill in the blank with the obnoxious-behavior-of-the-week)?)
Sometimes I come home and it's all I can do to decide what to have for dinner.
Right now I am putting off deciding what I am going to teach today. I have several options, it's just a matter of choosing one. Right?
