I'm trying to keep all of my school work at school, so that I'm not correcting, moderating blog comments, prepping, etc...at home - but it ends up being more the exception than the rule when that happens. It is a definite goal of mine for next year :) I know that I can do my job best by taking care of myself, and that I can take care of myself best by allowing for a balance between work and other activities, but teaching is such an important part of me that it is not always easy to separate it from the rest of my life. Good post, Elona! Tracy ps - I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest post, diagnosis=accommodations Hi Elona,

Good post, Elona!
