So, classes aren't balanced, most are still without AC, and a number of teachers have more students than available desks. I think the best course of action at this time is to do some walkthroughs and evaluate teachers on the layout of their bulletin boards.
@JayWamsted I had a smallish room. I had to fit 28 high schoolers into it. I know that's not many, but I didn't have enough deals! When they gave me 4 more, there was no room for them. But let me tell you, greeting at the door fixed it all 🙄
As many of you begin to purchase supplies for your students and classroom with your own money, please remember that the superintendent has to somehow survive on a $500/month expense account, a $300/month technology allowance, and a mere $1000/month car allowance.

As an educational professional, being a classroom teacher who works their way up to admin shouldn’t be the only visible career pathway in this field.
Not all great teachers want to become principals. Where’s the career advancement for them if leadership roles aren't enticing?
In the U.S. (when you include inflation), in the last 50 years:
•Avg Wages are up 17.5% in the past 50 years. ✅
•Teacher wages have been stagnant since 1987 (including inflation) ❌
•Housing Costs are up 260% ❌
•College Costs are up 194% ❌
•Childcare Costs up 214% ❌
“Teachers knew what they were getting into!”
Actually, I didn’t.
I didn’t know that my teacher paid for the supplies I was using in class.
I didn’t know that my teacher was working extra jobs to survive.
And I didn’t see all of the unpaid hours of work they did at home.
Teachers are not afraid of failure.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟…
•False accusations
•Not being able to support their own families
•What is happening to their own mental health
•The lack of teacher resources
•The growing apathy from students
•The growing disrespect
Let’s imagine we’re in an alternate timeline where THIS was the dragon I chose to draw 21 years ago today. Prolly woulda called him Dogdor?
