Being LDS, when it comes to teaching, can at times feel challenging to me. There are moments when I feel as if I'm in a no-win situation. Case in point: tomorrow I am teaching a lesson about Optimism.
First, I read over the lesson last week in an attempt to give myself plenty of time for ideas, thoughts, etc. What happened? Nada. Zilch. Zip. Not only did I not get any ideas, I actually spent a few days of the week quite depressed! Ironic in light of the lesson! So, here I am on Saturday night, less than 24 hours away from my lesson and I still have no clue what to do.
By comparison, last week was utter chaos. I didn't even look at the lesson until Sunday morning. Then I spent the rest of the time preparing it - all in a mad race to complete it on time. Kids were ignored. Hubby was gone to meetings. Insane. But what a successful lesson!
Yet, feeling the guilt of it all so that it wouldn't happen again, I read through the next lesson. Which brings me to now. Stuck. Is there such a thing as Teachers Block?
