Do you ever feel like you’re not allowed to vent about a bad day? I feel like we can’t just vent and chalk it up to a bad day and move on. If we are overheard saying anything than sunshine and rainbows you have to be scared of admin coming down on you - as far as written up for being unprofessional. Is it like this everywhere?!

I try (though not always successful)to save venting for at home and not in the school building. Find your tribe, other teachers who get you and call each other, FaceTime, out for drinks whatever works and let it out then.

Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that. I would think admin would want your room to be successful.

We’re allowed to vent. It’s healthier than holding it all in! Sorry you’re going through this!

My boss caught me just at the right time! When I finished he actually apologized to me!

Don’t tell your administration that, it’s shows weakness. Find a trusted confidant to talk those things through with. Everyone gets their butt kicked a few times per year. Step back, reflect, make adjustments and keep at it.
