I ACTUALLY had a student's parent ask how much I get paid and then tell me I'm overpaid. Do you just laugh awkwardly or try to educate them on how much actually goes into our jobs?

And on another note what a jerk!! When people find out im a teacher one of the first things they say to me is, “wow I bet you deserve a raise!” Seriously I can remember this happening at least 3-4 times in the last month!! I think a lot of people out there support us and know we deserve better but it’s unfortunate that the ones who don’t are the loudest 🫠

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
