One highlight of that list, however, is helping students after school. This is a photo of my coworker helping two of our students to understand some Algebra material. These two students have been difficult in our classes but urgently want to improve. Coming after school is helping them in that way so I was happy to see them plugging away happily at 4:15pm (even as our school ends at 3:05pm).
In the gamut of things that are associated with my job, one of the biggest unfortunate issues is people saying, "but your job ends at 3:00pm!" In reality, the job of a high-quality teacher goes easily hours into the night and takes up weekend. Lesson planning, phone calls, emails, grading, etc take hours to complete.
