I just added it up. 64 people (kid to adult) suffer weekly under my hands and/or monotone lecture voice. Some of them even get to have it twice a week! So, if you account for the 44 students who come twice, that's a 108 teaching interactions total per week. With a combined total of 83.5 hours a week teaching.
No wonder I'm tired. No wonder they're bored.
Grad school had better be worth it.

Shannon, just saw that you had no comments. :-( I'm sure no one "suffers under your hands". I'm sure you're a great teacher. That is an awful lot of teaching though! Enjoy your Thanksgiving break and be sure to catch up on sleep!
