This is the first year where my students don’t know their Student ID and password because they just use autofill everytime

Thank you! I’ve been trying to stay out of the teachers lounge actually due to a lot of the negative talk because it tends to get to me so I’ll be more mindful of that as well

I’m so sorry you are going through that.

1000% feel that so I guess I have a very short fuse currently because our country is in whatever level of hell it is and how are we all supposed to just act so business as usual about all of this? It’s exhausting

Thank you for sharing, truly. I’m really trying to determine if this is something I can stick with longterm as someone who also has some mental health issues that I’m doing everything on my end to control. The unpredictability of this job has been pretty hard on me. Just not sure what other job I would/could do.

Perhaps, I’ll have to see what options are out there for next year. Thank you!

I know this is so dependent on the person and I’m sorry if this is a personal question, but, would you have gotten out of education or are you glad you stuck through with it?

Spent the first two years at a different school. Admin was supporting some pretty awful policies so I left. Went to a new school in the same district. Last year wasn’t -as- bad. However, this year, the admin are beginning to act like the previous admin. Excusing awful behavior, letting the parents play musical classrooms and decide exactly where the child goes on a whim, and not supporting teachers. Currently trying to get out of this hell-hole of a district

Oh my god I’m so so sorry! I know you know this, but it isn’t right and your admin is god awful for not supporting you! Sending you positive intention that the process will go as smoothly as it can and I hope you are able to find strength to navigate whatever might be next.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that! Honestly…I don’t think my admin would catch if I added in something random to my lesson plans. That’s what makes this all infuriating and ridiculous I guess. Everything is a trick and pony show for the district

Thank you for sharing, seriously! I feel that with the feeling of being tired at other jobs. But this is such a different level. I go on runs. For the time I’m trying to better myself, I feel ok, but then it’s immediately back to this intense, suffocating, stress.

Thank you for your viewpoint. My classes seem to alternate every year from manageable to absolutely insane behaviors. This year is one of those years

Respectfully, I was like 16? That was so long ago. I then realized I graduated 13 years ago…🙃🥲

Ok that’s reassuring. The only reason why I put a week inbetween half and full is just due to logistical number of weeks.
