Meeting blues

Wednesday is meeting day.
My personal motto during these meetings is: "Let's get on with it!". Isn't it interesting how in any given meeting, in any given city/state/country, there's always that one person (or group of people) who keep asking inappropriate and/or petty and/or off-topic questions? It makes my patience wear thin and my eyes roll...

Sometimes it feels like I spend more time in meetings talking about teaching kids than actually teaching them. It makes me think of that question they usually ask when interviewing prospective teachers: "So why do you want to be a teacher?" The correct answer is "Because I love kids!". Maybe a better answer would be "Because I'm passionate about meetings and I have an affinity for paperwork". Just a thought :)
