SUPER BOWL AND MONDAY BLUES
All the teachers at my school always complained that the Super Bowl was on a Sunday evening. We could never understand why it couldn’t be on a Saturday evening. If you are a teacher, you understand why the Super Bowl needs to be on a Saturday. Students are sleepy and disinterested on a Monday morning following such a party filled event like the Super Bowl. The usual amount of irresponsible parents party late into Super Bowl evening and their children are allowed to partake and therefore miss their usual bedtime.
Teachers who party late on Super Bowl evening know how difficult the next morning will be. A teacher on a post Super Bowl Monday needs to be at their absolute enthusiastic and motivational best. They know what the kids are going to be like and therefore they must be at their best to counteract the sluggishness of their students.
I don’t think the average person realizes what it’s like to try to motivate thirty-five students on a normal Monday
