Recently I talked with another staff member about teachers and time--there just isn't enough for everything that we'd like to do.  Daily we use our time to take care of routine educational tasks including duty, housekeeping activities, planning, meeting, communicating with parents, paperwork, and yes--working with students in the classroom.  We'd like to keep up with what's going on beyond the walls and boundaries of our campus, but there never seems to be enough time.
