I feel that the best comparison that can be made between teaching and another profession is a juggling. A juggler has to keep as many things up in the air and spinning as possible. Teachers do the same. Teachers juggle instruction, student engagement, behavior and participation, decsion making, planning, meetings, standards, and the list goes on and on. And the whole time keeping time in mind. Time for covering state curriculum, planning, grading, and of course every other thing in their own lives. I would have to say that the most important thing when it comes to "time" is to make the most out of it. Just like we teach our students "use your time effectively."
