So, every year, when school starts, it seems like a million new things get dumped on you.  Whether is is evaluations, improving curriculum, observations by various organizations, etc.  How can you balance your job of teaching students and the paperwork to be compliant with school and state administrators?  I feel sometimes this job goes from regular hours to lots of “over time.”  Will the hoops that we all jump through ever stop?  How is it possible that we can focus on our real job of educating youth when we have to fill out paperwork or provide evidence all of the time?  I know we all struggle with this, but how do we all get through?  We all seem to persevere so may be it isn’t all that bad?
