"I live in a constant state of guilt." - coworker

Above is a quote from one of the older teachers at our school. She went onto tell us that the reason is because she does not have enough time to be a good teacher or a good mother. So she does what she can but it is obviously not good enough for her standards. I also remember talking to Erik's sister-in-law who told me that when her younger son had the same teacher that her older daughter had, she can tell that the teacher was not as good. The reason? You guessed it, she had become a mom since. This is one of the things teachers have to deal with. Right now I don't have the responsibilities of being a mom so I can devote a lot of time to teaching, but who knows in the future? I tell you, only other teachers know how difficult a job it is.
