Well, it took me longer than expected to finish the correction of the last five papers. It was not very clear handwriting and the paper was full of mistakes. We need to give marks for every step in the High school Maths paper. These papers needed a lot of corrections and remarks to be mentioned. These children will be appearing for the national level Board examination in coming March and hence have to be given clear feedback and remarks. They have to be prepared for the expectations of that exam.
Well, I am glad that I am all done with corrections and have uploaded the corrected papers to the site where students can view it and we can discuss it in detail in the coming week. Now I am too tired and yawningI need to stretch myself and take a short nap. I badly need to have a good nap to be energized to do the rest of the evening chores.
Now I have to fill in the excel sheet with name of 70 plus students, their marks, grade and detailed remarks and feedback. That would be another time-consuming work. I will do it tonight before bedtime and try to at least finsih 25-35 of the students in alphabetical order. I also need to set up a revision worksheets for few chapters covered in the last term in Maths and Science.
After my nap and few chores, I will spend a good time here mylotting. My daughter just wants me to be by her side when she does her Hindi and Science assignment after dinner. I can have my laptop on and doing my work while she does her own
Catch you later

@arunima25 Job satisfaction is most important. I have done enough in my field, an active career spanning over 40 years, to be satisfied with whatever I have done. Looking back you always feel you could have done better.

Well I have been in education since years but this is my first experience doing all these as I am handling High school classes this year. And I bet teaching is not an easy job.
I am glad that all done and I did a good job. It's a new experience and I learnt a lot. I guess I am not too old to learn new things in my career.

@msdivkar I have always been satisfied with my job. When I worked in corporate world or in a research Center earlier, I enjoyed it. But I found my real passion and love here working as educator especially working with younger children. I have worked with age group 2_21 years and have enjoyed it
