I wanted to wish everyone a Happy National Teacher’s Day! How is everyone's employer or admin celebrating all of the hard work you do today?

Not a fan of this day/week and never have been. Neither am I a fan of Teacher or Para of the year. We go to work we get paid. End of story. We need a week to be “ appreciated “? What are we? 5? Treat me with dignity and respect for my efforts and that is enough. When is plumber’s appreciation week, carpenters, garbage/sanitation workers? They get paid and go home. So should we.

So far, we received a pouch with candy, a key ring. Today was a 10 minute massage chair, and a aroma therapy table with a free bottle to take home of the scents we choose.

Well… the loudspeaker announced DOUGHNUTS in the principal’s conference room literally 8 minutes before the Tardy bell rang. Unfortunately, my department is located on the furthest corner upstairs from where those (I’m sure they were delicious) doughnuts were being offered. 😂😂😂

lots of sugar in the teacher lounge....I am so happy...or my heart is about to imploded due to sugar either way awesome week!!

Food treats! I appreciate the gesture and the time it takes to organize this for all of us. I don’t want to seem ungrateful.
However, as someone who is trying to see food as fuel and take charge of my health, it is hard! I am avoiding the teacher’s lunch room and office.
I kind of agree with ESSET 1- if we were treated with respect and paid according to our education and experience and if our profession was recognized as professional and important, this week of “appreciation” would not be needed. It feels like admin is trying to motivate us to go above and beyond continuously and without compensation. Years ago, the appreciation came from the parents and students. Now it comes from admin. It does not feel genuine anymore. It is just another box admin is checking on their list of to do because they are “supposed to”.

Monday - Nacho/taco bar
Tuesday - Hydration bar
Wednesday - Build your own trail mix bar
Thursday - Admin provides lunch
Friday - Supplies Day -- not sure, yet, what that will all entail. :)

Food, it's always food. As a person who has numerous food allergies it is not particularly appreciated as I am lucky if there is one thing I can have on an entire buffet. But our parent's group got us $5 target cards, and culver ice cream tokens.
