I feel like the lines of work hours is non existent. Getting texts from staff after hours, being told to be flexible when we are doing our outreach for students not engaging, and students requesting meetings at 6pm. Ummm I don’t get a flex schedule so I would still be required to work my normal hours.

I feel the same. We are told we are essential but not treated that way. We are not regularly tested and even when our governor says no more than 10 gathered inside, we have to keep up to 17 kids (or use the auditorium, cafeteria, outside for whatever we have that is over capacity)!

I set a personal triage to answer. Green: respond until work hours. Yellow: respond asking details or inform will take care in the morning. Red: hand on, that is the real reason of the hot line.
It keeps my sanity on the safe zone. I must follow the rule: A good fireman is an alive fireman

Doris Santoro has great work and research on demoralization in educators. A LOT of it has to do with the system (no surprise there). This year is the first year I refused to work outside of my contract hours unless it was a crisis. Stretching ourselves thin isn’t good for us or our students. And, without better boundaries on our own work-life balance the administration and system will continue to expect the longer than paid work hours and over giving of our free time and resources.

They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.
