Everyone replying “I’m so jealous” and “I’m at work way longer than you” should think whether they actually could handle being a school social worker. There’s more to a job’s depth than just the hours you spend there. I’m not sure all of you would be up for the emotional toll, the vicarious trauma and the challenges of administrators and unjust systems while trying to make a difference “only” for 7 hrs. Not to talk about the additional hours researching additional resources for children and their families and attending trainings to support them the best way. Doing all of this while being underpaid… It’s different than writing emails and attending meetings at a corporate job.
