I'd like to think that I do not let my students' lives or problems impact me, but they do. It does carry over into my life, and I am still discerning at what point it is good, and at what point I need to draw an emotional line. Last night I couldn't sleep because I am worried about a couple of my kids. I also woke up dreaming about a nightmarish episode about my kids writing their works cited - nothing was alphabetized or spaced correctly. It was terrible.
Frankly, I kind of don't care if sometimes I can't sleep because I am concerned about students. It is what it is, and I can't figure out how to shut it off anyways.
