Today the guidance counselor of the school I sub for sent me this message:

Fully crying. I run after school D&D club for highschool and knowing the table feels like a safe space for my little nerds makes me so fucking happy 😊

wilma ei toiminu, netti ei toiminu, videotykki ei toiminu, kansliassa on vesivahinko, työpari ei tullut paikalle. perus eka koulupäivä open näkökulmasta takana siis!

when your student has a 3.5 hour meltdown and every time you call admin for help they just plop them back into your classroom then the student blockades the door with a table so you can’t even evacuate the rest of the class

#teacherlife #honestly this is so ridiculous that this is what our education system has come to #there is zero support there is zero care about the actual students #the budget is the only thing that matters #next time this happens I swear I’ll evacuate my class thru the fucking window and tell them to all go work in the office #personal vent sorry y’all bad day

As a New Teacher it’s important to prepare way before the school year starts. You never know the group of kids you’re going to get, school environment, the hours can be long and daunting as well. Spend some time getting yourself together before even beginning and it will make your life so much easier. This is for any grade level teacher whether you’re Elementary, Middle or High School.

Between a rock and a hard place

I was lucky enough to see a pain specialist earlier this month, and it has genuinely been a life-changing experience. He has adjusted my pain medication regime, and recommended several changes to my lifestyle. I am now doing gentle exercise four times a week, getting at least seven hours of sleep a night and am making an effort to eat closer to the Anti-inflammatory Diet. I feel better and my pain has reduced to a 6 or 7 out of ten.

However, there was one area that I'm having trouble with - Stress. I am an English teacher who specialises in educating teenagers with low literacy. These kids are often neurodivergent, come from trauma backgrounds or have fallen through the cracks. In addition to helping their spelling and reading, I also build up their confidence and self-esteem and make them feel cared for and valued. This is not an easy task, and I often work or worry about work while at home.

Recently, several situations have occurred, both in my classroom, and between my colleagues in my office. One person in particular has been responsible for creating a very competitive and toxic environment in my workplace. I am constantly stressed, often to the point of tears, and I have noticed my pain beginning to flare up again.

So here's the crux of the problem - Do I stay or do I go? I want to stay to help my students and to help the school community. I love our school - It is small, I know pretty much all the kids, and my husband works there. It has been my family for nineteen years. But I also want to leave. I do not want to be constantly exposing myself to these stressors and risk compromising my health and its newfound improvements.

I have a therapy appointment tomorrow, and I'm also aware that a lot of these pressures are acute and may pass in the next few weeks. It could also be the Term Three blahs - It is our longest term without any breaks or public holidays. But I also have never thought about walking away before.

I might be shouting into the void, or just getting my ideas out of my head and into words. If anyone wants to comment on this wall of text, please do so.

We all know that being a teacher is hard, but we also know that it can be so rewarding when you're able to change a student's life. It has been especially harder with many teachers leaving education and finding jobs in other careers, causing a shortage of teachers.

Weekend Coffee Share, Ironies

Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer on her blog. My coffee share usually is accompanied by chai tea, but today it is green tea with honey. The rules don’t forbid it, and if they did, I’d break that one. 🙂 A quiet, gray morning lets me sleep in late. Yes, I needed that. My plans were to go to the zoo today with my boyfriend. However, today is the day I discover that…

Two weeks in and it’s been ROUGH. These kids need firmness and consistency and they are in for it come Monday. It was a workday but I came in to finish unpacking. Finally feels like my room. #thirdgrade #teacherlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7tHS0uR1K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Now that I’m settled in the new house, and since I want to get back to teaching at some point, I’m once again putting my energy into studying for the middle school social studies teaching exams as much as possible. Bring on the Twizzlers, highlighters, and index cards 🎉
