Where are all my fellow educators?

Dear Councilors....as you are making the students schedules....please do not put 70 kids in my classes.

Ooops my bad, didn't read it correctly - didn't realize it was for educators.

backing out slowly

August 23rd for me too. i am looking forward to it. i'd love to talk about it online, but a member has threatened to out me to my school as ?? i guess a leather dyke. She wasn't specific. Since i have a new job and she doesn't know where i teach, i am keeping it vague. Sorry about that.

i am a special education teacher, but i have a new assignment. A different population in terms of disability and a different kind of neighborhood. i used to teach in a continuation school in a seriously dangerous ganged up neighborhood. So this will be different.

i am looking forward to it a lot. Scared a little too. i have never worked with students with this particular disability -- well individual ones, but not as my entire caseload.

Guess what, Invictus? i will have eight students in my class.

Of course I know nothing about this situation other than what you wrote, but WTF?? That sounds crappy.

Alright....the count down begins...and I am trying to get motivated

How do you get motivated?

Any thoughts? I need some inspiration

Martina · 08-21-2011, 02:17 AM

i am motivated by trying to stay alive. OMG, who else is working their asses off?

Yesterday was all meetings all day. Tours of the building and too much information altogether. This is a new district for me. OMG the software trainings ALONE!

Today the building was open, so i moved my stuff in. i moved furniture, hung posters, unpacked, cleaned out and tried to figure what i wanted where. i left there dirty, hot, sore, and exhausted. But the worst of that is done, and it looks like a classroom.

So enough bitching. It's a beautiful campus with a fabulous faculty and i am getting paid well for a teacher.

But jesus god in heaven, do we work hard or what?
