As a kid of the 90s I don’t know if those teachers felt that way but I know many teachers feel that way now. In your opinion what year did it start?
It's like I'm in a rock and a hard place here at my school . The principal (who I like and respect a lot as a person) does a terrible job of implementing discipline and the kids come late and walk the halls even after the bell rings. It causes serious issues in the classes and disrupts the flow of classes with students coming in late. On the flip side there is still a lot about being a teacher that I need to improve but since the school sucks so much that bad leadership is helping me because if I was at a better school I'm sure they would be on me more about things I need to improve. So in one way I'm grateful because it gives me time to keep improving and learning on the other hand the lack of leadership causes me more heartache because the Kids know they can get away with anything outside of something like having a gun. All I'm trying to do is get better at my job and decide if this is worth doing long term but I just wanted to share with you my daily battle here and see if anyone find themselves in the same situation.
21 school days to go and I feel like I’m getting grounded Down. Any tips to make it to the end of the school year? It feels like everyday is suffering and I just want it to end. This is my first year as a public school teacher.
