School’s out forever

No more lesson plans, no more parent meetings, no more admin adding everything to our plates. My first year of freedom.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

Teaching has affected my health, my family, my marriage, my sanity, my outlook on life, and my hope for humanity. I’m beginning a journey to improve all of those.

Non teachers:

I have to make a presentation at work this week, I’m very stressed and will spend all week preparing.

Teachers:

😂

I’m working from sun up to sun down on a rental that a tenant totally destroyed. It’s hard frustrating work. But I’m not in a useless professional development from 8-4 with 60 other teachers wondering why we are wasting time, and that is all the difference win the world!

@BarlowAdams It must be arriving with my new washer and dryer then.

@SecCardona Then DO SOMETHING!

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@FixingEducation @theDRAMAgoat1 I get this question all the time. I give them the short answer. Teaching was no longer for me. If they have to ask, they won’t hear the real reasons.

@DrDeniseStyer @notcapnamerica If the climate doesn’t get you, the taxes will!

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@JayWamsted Me too! And to be honest, I have never fully read The Great Gatsby. Just enough to write essays and pass tests.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@theDRAMAgoat1 Resigned this year, so going into this upcoming school year, I’m most looking forward to actually being there to pick my own kids up from school and volunteer in their classrooms and for their school activities.

Nope. This is the first time I watch them roll out the back to school campaigns and I felt absolutely no panic. Not missing it one bit.

Any teacher out there having a hard time admitting they have to go back to work soon? I woke up realizing I have three weeks and I haven’t done any work

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@SecCardona Then pay us like you need us. Respect us like you need us. Allow us to do our own unmicromanaged jobs like you need us. Stop censoring what we can teach like you need us. Stop adding more jobs to our plates like you need us…

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@heymrsbond And as a burnt out former educator, I can’t help thinking about the hours that all the teachers keep, patrolling all the halls in the middle of the night and always awake when something goes wrong at all hours. And if they are paid overtime for that.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

Is anyone else shocked by how commonplace incompetence has become? How easily we accept that a job we pay large amounts for is done poorly? Late? Not at all? And we’re just expected to shrug because that’s how it goes.

@fasc1nate Music streaming apps….I want to buy three songs and listen to them over and over, not pay ten bucks a month to do it.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@fasc1nate Earnest money in states that don’t hold people accountable when they walk away.

@fasc1nate Roping at restaurants just so the company can pay its workers lower wages. Now tipping at any restaurant even if you are just picking up and carrying out.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@fasc1nate Most types of insurance.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@teachforever54 Yes! I’m in one of the most rural states which should mean cheaper, and yet houses don’t list for under 400,000. Of course, they also can’t find anyone to drive their busses, police their streets, or deliver their mail. One day they’ll figure it out.

[School’s out forever @darkstormyliar]

@sage_stage That I could make it one more year. This is the first summer where school supplies appeared in target and I didn’t have anxiety. #Done!
