I'm going to just stay jealous of other people getting to have normal college and high school graduations I guess. Wont get those cute friend cap and gown pics

White female teachers generally come in two types- white lady savior complex in an "urban" school who dislikes those who work in wealthier areas, and upper class wealthy woman in a rich school that looks down on those who serve communities unlike theirs. Can y'all stop fighting??

I struggle with the things these students tell me. I think about them at dinnertime and wonder if they've eaten a good dinner. And the hardest part is knowing that any small detail that I might miss is potential for something awful to happen to them.

Teaching is so much heavier than any one of you will ever realize. While engaged in a side convo about gardening, a student told me that her mom won't plant a garden anymore bc it caused their neighbor to come into their yard, stare at the kid while she was sleeping, and

when you ask them about it, they don't want to talk about it. It's not all coloring and math and hugs as the kids walk into the classroom. But some of you stay disrespecting teachers because you think the job is easy. I'd like to see some of you even try.

Yall told me that senior year was stressful but I thought you were exaggerating. I have to write a reflection journal for class and im behind a few days- I cant even remember Tuesday and Wednesday. Those days didnt happen in my brain.

[Paige Boatright @BoatrightPaige]

The same kid who tackled me yesterday gave me three hugs and told me I was the most beautiful teacher in the school today. I'm not gonna argue with her 🤷‍♀️

[Paige Boatright @BoatrightPaige]

Not me getting tackled by a third grader bc I wouldn't let her lock her classmates out of the classroom

Every Monday for the last 5 weeks I've started off my homework reflection journal by saying "A rough start this morning." This is unintentional but also shows that the weekend>weekday transition is not for me.

true love is texting each other about olive garden at the same time. I dont make the rules

[Paige Boatright @BoatrightPaige]

Anyway, big shout out to the kid who made me these, bc they keep me going tbh. Even if she thinks my name is spelled "Mrs. Boaright".

Working at a school you don't vibe with really takes it out of you. I love these kids just as much as the ones at my other school, but my very soul is tired from dealing w administration and teachers.

I'm having cheesecake for lunch and I dont wanna live my life any other way

This school wifi is rlly curbing my productivity i could've done so much online shopping during this planning period but NO. You had to block Amazon, right? Ridiculous 😑

[Paige Boatright @BoatrightPaige]

funny how much you're against comparing your life to other people's until they have something you want

[Paige Boatright @BoatrightPaige]

One of my kids just said "Miss B... no offense, but you look pregnant." 🥴🥲 Thanks, kid.

Sometimes when I observe in classrooms, I find myself missing being the student instead of the teacher.
