I am considering not getting involved in all the after-school functions and extra pay opportunities. Those have always brought in my little bit of extra "mad money". I have always enjoyed meeting the parents of students at the events, but I'm not sure if I want to do it this year. Maybe once the sports season opens, I'll feel more into it. How involved are you in after school events? Is the extra pay really wroth it?

Not involved at all with after school stuff. I stay after school to help students with homework / after school tutoring. If not, I spend time grading, planning, making copies. I try to stay focused on, you know, our job as a teacher. 🤷‍♀️

I don’t do any after school events that are not in my contract. Elementary school is different than middle school- no sports! We can run enrichment classes but that is optional. At this point in my life, I am striving for work- life balance, so I set a firm schedule, leave work at work, and go home to do other things. I used to make work my entire life and it led to a lot of problems for me and missed time with my kids. It is ok to say no and prioritize yourself.

I hope that this is the year i can give more time to myself and not be at the school so much

I find that the little pay wasn’t a trade off for the lost time and added stress.

I am beginning to believe your statement. In 33 years of teaching, I have always given too much to my job.
