Making Sure They Are Safe and Sound

Why do I feel this way about most of my students? And how long until the enthusiasm wears off, until I become yet another disillusioned teacher? Argghhh.

>>Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed her,
spend a day to make her smile again<<
from "Winning the Battle, Losing the War" by Kings of Convenience -- what an apt title!

(Yes, this is in response to grading assignments and seeing class averages drop from the 50s to the 20s.)
