Sorry to hear that. Do what you need to take care of yourself, your well-being has to come first for you to do your job well.💜

Unfortunately due to sub shortages it is difficult to take time for myself. Our office manager is hostile this year and comes off very rude when a sub doesn’t pick up a job and we have to fill it in house.. it is bad. I’ve gotten a call when at home “are you sure you can’t be in tomorrow?”

Are you able to plan things with your class that are enjoyable for you too?

My curriculum is literally scripted. So not really. But I enjoy the content so that is nice.

I'm sorry that this year has been rough. :/ I hope this up coming break gives you some breathing room. Maybe you can take a day or a few hours during the break and do things you want to do and give yourself permission to do it guilt free. I think sometimes when we are this overwhelmed or feel stuck, it helps when we give ourselves space to feel something else other than what we are feeling. It can give us prospective and help us understand where we are at in our lives and what we want to do with it (handle situations, set goals, reflect, etc.) I hope this helps.

I feel the same way. Glad to know I am not alone. I don't even know how to get out of my school. I feel so trapped. I wonder of principals strategically make good teachers feel inferior so they won't leave the school?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
