Yayyyyy for teachers !!!!!! Much respect for you all and thank you for all you do .
When I was in the 6th grade , I had a teacher who told me I would never amount to anything and I was stupid. She had a massive stroke a couple years ago and who was her nurse ????  me , her stupid student who wouldn't amount to anything Haha.

Day 2 was much better. Cooler weather and cooler heads all around. Administration stepped up and was clear. This will be fun... I am going to relax and let the process work.

My caseload is growing, and I am having more typical real teaching problems. I wish there were the resources to lift these kids OUT of their worlds and show them the big beautiful terrifying world beyond for just a second so they'd know what is out there for them, if they want it.

What a week...some better - but still a mess. I guess the difference between last week and this week - self resolution....I will do what I can, with what I have, as I can....everyone is now aware of the ridiculous conditions - still no chairs, Gen. music resources and MINIMUM playing time for the orchestra students, etc. .... I'm at 188 students yesterday - but growing. My admin. has made it clear that all they want is me to hold the fort down and see what happens as a result of the Super.'s resignation....
Yesterday - we lost 4 more teachers including one who is a bff of mine. She was promoted to a county facilitator and the others were placed in different schools...the man (a-hole) who created all this resigns...I was so happy to hear that and have felt it was coming...Now - if our board will not spend millions doing a search and choose someone locally who has a vested interest in our district and what's truly best for the students - we may actually salvage something good this year....either way - I still have my plan.... on a lighter note:   Hang in there...almost TGIF!!!!

I survived the first week!
I have two ninth grade classes and one senior class. On the alternating weeks, I have three tenth grade classes. A lot of those kids have been stopping by to say 'hey', and That feels really good. Everything has gone smoothly except for some glitches with ordering materials. I did have to order 20 practice solder kits with my own credit card, but I know I will get reimbursed. I have a three day weekend and Pete didn't have to work today. I sat in a cafe to get some grading done while my faithful Pete shopped at the coop. Right now, I am really happy to be the teacher I am. |
