😡 TEACHERS COME BACK BEFORE THE STUDENTS JUST TO HAVE EVERY MINUTE OF THEIR TIME WASTED.
The classroom is a mess.
Desks need to be moved.
Bulletin boards need to go up.
Supplies need to be organized.
Copies need to be made.
Lessons need to be planned.
Technology needs to be tested.
Families need to be contacted.
There are a hundred things that actually need to happen before students walk through that door.
So naturally, the school schedules six hours of meetings.
A welcome back presentation.
A motivational speaker nobody asked for.
A review of procedures everybody already knows.
An icebreaker with coworkers who have known each other for nine years.
A slideshow that could have been an email.
Then somebody stands at the front of the room and says,
"We really want you to prioritize work life balance this year."
Meanwhile teachers are staring at the clock because every minute sitting in that cafeteria is another minute they'll have to stay late tonight setting up their classrooms.
And then everybody acts like teachers voluntarily spend nights and weekends getting ready for school.
No.
The school took the paid time teachers were supposed to have to prepare and filled it with stuff that had nothing to do with preparing.
Then teachers donated their personal time to finish the actual job.
And somehow THAT became normal.

The importance of perseverance is often overlooked in today’s society. Many people are taught how to give up or to give in at an early age, so they miss out on an important lesson; that struggling through a difficult task is what makes something worthwhile.
In school, many students are encouraged to drop a course because it is difficult or the teacher is demanding. By following this advise, the student could miss out on the
opportunity to be challenged to become a better student, to learn more, to achieve something that they might never have achieved. Nietzsche said “That which does not kill
us only makes us stronger.” His statement holds true in school and many other aspects of our lives.
In sports, young people are faced with many challenges. They must juggle practice and game time with the rigors of their studies, as well as the other demands in their lives. They must deal with the extremes of the elements and the fatigue of play. Many must face harsh realities of shortcomings pointed out by coaches, teammates, and their own performance. They must struggle through the pain of injury and defeat. But I say it’s the “hard” that makes it good, that makes it worthwhile. Vince Lombardi once said, “Success is like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible.” Mr. Lombardi also said, “I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment
of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious." Victory, success, and achievement of something truly meaningful all come at a
price. And it is the price that is the truest lesson for us all to learn. In the bible, Romans 5: 3, 4 says, “…We know that affliction makes for endurance, and endurance for tested virtue, and tested virtue for hope.” Struggling through a difficult task is what makes
success worthwhile.
