If you are asking the question, how do I know when I spend too much time on Facebook?, the simple answer, which you already know deep within, is when you have to ask that question!
Look, there’s nothing wrong with Facebook. In fact, it’s a great tool for connecting, building community, getting in touch, sharing ideas, networking and discovering common interests.
However, like all things, too much of anything is bad for you.
When It Feels Like No One’s Listening… I am…
This was one of the things that I’ve been told made me a great teacher in and out of the classroom.
I listen.
Elena, an amazing 18 year old I once worked with, told me that most adults don’t even see her, acknowledge her, let alone talk to her.
She went on to add that the fact that I smiled at her meant everything. Then the fact that I talked with her and listened...well, that brought her to tears…
Dear Education Lady,
My math teacher keeps making sarcastic comments towards me. How should I deal with this?
She asked everyone if they understood then singled me out and said “Sally, do you get it? Because you’re so clever.”
Dear Clever Sally,
It’s funny how sometimes adults can be more childish than children, right? First, you’re doing the right thing in asking and hopefully, not reacting. You may have heard the saying “Fuel fuels the fire.”
