When I first started teaching, pre-service week was right before Labor Day. I worked furiously to prepare my room and lessons for the new students coming the next Tuesday. I remember thinking that a three-day weekend was wasted on me then because all I wanted was to get the first day over with.
This year, although school for students and teachers ended Friday, today is a holiday for 12-month employees. It is Eid al-Adha, and schools are closed. I have completed my teaching duties, but I still have to clean out my classroom and submit some end-of-the-year paperwork. I'm feeling impatient to finish up, and this three-day weekend has been wasted on me.
