I hate being told what to do. Sometimes.  Sometimes being told is necessary. Like a new procedure or learning how to use a piece of equipment or the guidelines of a new place.  Sometimes it isn't necessary.  Like telling me how to do something I've done a million times and could do in my sleep. Blindfolded.   I think we're all pretty much the same. Open to learning new things or listening to someone share an idea or thought, but when it comes to telling us how we should do something their way instead of the way we've always done it..... Well, that is annoying.  Or someone telling us to do something that we're already doing.  And they won't listen when we say, "I'm already doing that." 

I started to write a "Why Summer is Important to Teachers" blog and then I realized that I'd just be telling you to do what you are already doing.  Or want to do.  It's a tired subject. Teachers already know why summer is important. They've already made the doctor and dentist appointments. They've already made vacation or family plans.  They've already written their to-do lists.  They certainly don't need someone telling them that summer is important for teachers so they can spend it with their family, rest, and relax.  And, in all actuality, some teachers may not be resting or relaxing. They may be working another job or trying to figure out how to complete their massive to-do list in two short months.   

I thought about writing in defense of teachers, providing proof that summers off is necessary and something we've already paid for. Then I realized that we get it.  We know all of that. The people that don't get it, won't get it.  They think (always have and always will) that teaching is an 8 to 3 job with summers off. Easy peasy!  And they're usually the ones trying to tell teachers how to teach.  You know the one. The expert on teaching that's never taught a day in their life.  That one! 

Instead of telling you what you already know, I'll just wish you a happy summer and good luck with this month's give-away! 


And if you're like me and already planning.....
