Hi Pre-K friends! Do you ever feel like you are under paid, over worked, and not making much of a difference because you aren’t given the time to try? 2.5 years, 3 schools, always the same results.

Definitely underpaid and I know I overwork myself because I care about this job so much. My school is a huge blessing on the time front so I have been able to see the difference that can be made when we give kids freedom to learn at their own pace. I’m sorry you’re feeling stressed. Hopefully with summer approaching you will be able to unwind. Take a deep breath. You’ve got this! One major shift in my teaching has been Conscious Discipline, for the kids, but mostly for me. I have found that my mindset and environment cannot be controlled by knee jerk reactions and emotions in high stress situations. I have to give myself time to get calm and enter my executive state before I can be of any use in the classroom. Wishing you well!

Pre-K is the BEST!!!

I teach Transitional Kindergarten which is like PreK. I am very lucky that I teach in a public school so I make a regular teachers salary. This will be my 6th year (17th year teaching). Two years ago I began doing a full day. I love it. Everyone who teaches children are over worked and definitely don’t get paid enough for all the work they do.

Older attorneys keep trying to force dictation on me. I’m a newer lawyer and have trouble verbalizing my motions and legal writing for complex issues I am just beginning to understand. I don’t see how constantly waiting for my secretary to get me drafts of my dictated material is going to make me more efficient. Is it unreasonable for me not to want to dictate? It seems really outdated and when I write things myself they are 10x more coherent and take about the same amount of time.

Guys if you are using apps such as Grindr and Scruff, please be careful. One guy that I was chatting with on Scruff in Pittsburgh found my Facebook account and since my profile was public, he found information of my family members and threatened to send pictures, chat history to my family members. Lesson learnt - make your social media accounts secure (don’t make your Facebook profile profile). He has blocked me since then, so I couldn’t report his profile
