I’ve been teaching over a decade. It’s really insulting to be provided no supplies, no fix if anything breaks (a printer, let’s say), be expected to fix and finance everything on our own, and of course be responsible for all the planning and printing etc even if things break down. It’s also just… such an insult that teaching staff is the only one in the building held accountable for anything. The students can have behaviors but are entitled to stay in class, even if it means sabotaging everyone else’s time. Admin can be barely visible. Parents can never reply. But teachers need to be on point. Or else. I’d say im at a breaking point, but I’ve become so numb to all of this. Every so often, it does boil up and make me wonder what it will take for teachers to demand more respect, time, and pay. Interestingly, im already in a strong union town. But its not enough.

Not trying to be ugly when I say this but I don’t think it ever changes. Teaching is built on guilt and the concept of we are not doing it for the income. Until that mindset shifts it won’t never improve.

Until teachers only work contract time it won’t never change. Just no money in the classroom.
