efficiency

I have no ability to be efficient with this teaching thing right now. I spend my whole planning period, as well as 4th period (since I'm not teaching yet) planning. Addititonally I spend about 2 hrs on the weekend and 2 hours a night during the week. I'm doing this all and I'm not getting paid for any of it... HAHAHA.

I feel like I come to class with good lesson plans. Where I fail is all the lines in between. How do you connect these ideas, how do you give studetns the big picture. I feel like all of these comments are improv. I have tried planning the segues but it doesn't work. I hope I grow into this ability cuz right now it's really frustrating.

Student teaching is really hard. We are doing work, homework, and being observed at all times. And we're not getting paid.

I really want to be good at this. That's what makes it so hard. I want to be a good teacher and right now I am not good at all. I am so frustrated.

I hope it all gets better or I won't want to teach at all.
