My classroom is full every period and I will be exposed to nearly 180 students. I have been offered an online teaching position through K12 and I will take it because I am pregnant. I regret leaving the school I love especially so close to school starting, but I would not feel safe in my classroom this year.

I am also worried about classroom size and maintaining social distancing.

I think my classroom is ready but there’s not enough room to take on all 1300 kids to our building and maintain distancing. The halls used to be overcrowded so I know there’s no way we can be safe distance wise. My classes are at their largest 22, cannot hold that many and socially distance, maybe 14, but not 22

I am very curious to see the outcome of the Cy-Fair district teachers suing their school district over making them go back face to face. I wonder if this will cause a ripple effect for other districts. They are the third largest district in our state I believe

I have put zero posters up this year. I just don’t feel it. Plus, they repainted my room over the summer. I’m as ready as I can be. 🥺

Does anyone have experience working for Connections Academy or another virtual academy? I am very interested in teaching from home, but most virtual jobs I have reviewed still require you to come to an office/ school building. I want to know what it is like, specifically the work load. Would you say more or less than public? How does classroom management, amount of grading, and freedom of curriculum differ?

Pencil dipped in paint and shoved in my new electric sharpener.

There are acts of destruction daily in my classroom. Most of my classes are 25 kids in a small room. When my attention is taken for a second, someone does something like this. Gluing things to counters. Hiding paintbrushes instead of cleaning them. 15 years, I've tried everything to cultivate a respectful classroom culture, and they just don't care. I'm so tired. So, so tired. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

After 18 years, I lost my art room to a classroom this year in order to spread out kids due to Covit19. They said we can’t hand out papers.. kinda thinking art is remote for all. I will do lessons on google classroom with live lesson to classrooms and home. I was told special area teachers may be “repurposed”. We will be used like a TA. One class will be spread out two rooms.Aday teacher in one room, I help in other room. B day teachers switch 😳😷☹️.. I know I’m lucky to have a job but.

I am seriously dreading talking to my new boss and telling my friend that I want to go back in-house. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I just feel so bad and don’t want to burn bridges
