Real world problems. Or at least, real classroom problems.

Not only have I been told that my unit of study (social studies) started too late to cover everything I'm supposed to, I found out yesterday that I'll be giving up half of my time twice a week to fit something else in. And I just realized that I need to give still MORE time up this week to make sure that the kids have wrapped up their previous science unit in a fashion that will let them show their parents what they've accomplished during conferences next week.

Welcome to the real world of teaching! ;-)
