I used to work in boarding schools where everyone, pretty much, lived on campus and lived and breathed school. My life is much more in balance now, but I don't think I'm as good a teacher. I am lucky in that I do have small class sizes, and I have a reasonable amount of prep time, but I'm certainly not spending the hours every evening preparing that I used to when I was single and childless.

As I was leaving the office today my assistant principal was hard at work. She's a Sister of St. Joseph and a woman religious. She has no family to worry about save the other sisters she lives with. She has the equivalent of almost two doctorate degrees and she is by far one of the most knowledgeable educators I know. I think Catholic schools and the quality of education they offer are in large part due to the sacrifices of religious orders over the years who had countless hours and energy to pour into the job.
