On Reflective Teaching: Teacher María del Pilar Rodríguez

I know it is hard to believe but as a teacher I reflect on my teaching everyday, specially with children;after having working with them for 6 years now I can say that sometimes I feel tired of teaching them, it is not the same as it used to be at the beginning, I know there are many external factors that have to do with it, ( children now are not the same as they were before, I'm not the same as I was before, now I have more experience but I also feel tired and they are more hyperactive!)I don't feel the energy I used to feel when I first started teaching them and it is very hard to teach children that don't want to learn.
Teachers as well as children need motivation to learn and when they study English just because their parents tell them to do so, teachers can feel that and we feel discouraged.
I have tried to give them my best, so they can feel excited about English, but with them it is never enough!
