Teacher Time 1.0.2

E=mc², or so they say, but time is emotional, too. Einstein said it first: sitting on a train with a pretty woman seems to make time fly, while sitting with an uninteresting person (presumably less attractive) makes time drag. This was his way of describing the relative nature of space and time, place and person. You’ve already experienced this yourself. Think of a faculty meeting that’s running long—teachers raising their hands and voices, huffing and puffing. Those meetings seem to stretch on forever. In contrast, there are meetings that could have been an email and move along at the speed of molasses on a cold day. You’re either in lizard-brain mode or bored to death. Time is emotional. And since every teacher lives and dies by the clock, we understand this better than most. Maybe it’s the three-minute difference between getting to the cafeteria before they run out of tacos and arriving too late. Maybe it’s being stuck behind traffic lights while your homeroom students are waiting outside your locked classroom. Whatever the reason, you know that your time is your profession. This app is a serious look at the strains and importance of our time as we try to balance our families with our students, friends, and colleagues. It is both a tribute to time and a celebration of it. It is silly, funny, and random.
