Teacher Problems

Just a middle school teacher trying to make it to summer alive.

I HATE MY PRINCIPAL

[Blunt Educator @BluntEducator]

Have you noticed the better the educator the more we ask of them in & out of the classroom?

What other profession are the best employees given more duties & more responsibility with no additional incentive?

The current system exploits the calling & commitment of great teachers

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

How to stop the teacher shortage:
1. Bring it up in the news constantly as a problem instead of ignoring it.
2. Promote the profession.
3. Stop bashing the profession.
4. Respect teachers.
5. Pay teachers as much as other professions with the same education level.

Today I found out that our admin really doesn’t care about us and our needs, it’s all an act. Asked for a schedule change for next semester for my mental health and was told I need a “mindset shift” 🖕🏻

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

One of my coworkers is leaving at semester and I’m honestly sooo jealous...

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

@OliveScience22 Wait that’s amazing and brilliant.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

This is gonna be my last year, I can’t do this anymore. Now to use up the 30+ sick days I have saved up.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

What job can completely burn you out after just 3 short years? TEACHING.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

Wanna hear something sad? I calculated my hourly rate (don’t do this, it will just depress you) and I literally make $15/hour pre tax. WTF I could work a much easier job for that much.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

I feel like with the low pay and minimal respect we get, the least the school could give us is free school lunch?!

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

Literally had 11 students in one of my classes today. Remind me again why we have to have school this week if only 1/3 of my class shows up?

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

Gave a test on unit 4 today. Still haven’t graded unit 3 from almost a month ago #oops #sorrynotsorry

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

This job is so disrespected and under-appreciated in our country.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

At a conference for grad school. I get such judgement when I tell people I’m a teacher. Like they think I’m incapable and dumb.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

I NEED A BREAK. #christmaswhereyouat

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

Teaching + grad school = I don’t think I can coach this year. But I feel SO GUILTY and scared to tell my AD... I can’t do it all...

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

I was voted staff of the month by our student body and I am so honored it is just the validation that I needed 😭❤️

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

Stressed out for NO GOOD REASON, damn my career choice.

[Teacher Problems @its_ms_b]

@TchrConfessions Ah I see! What are you getting your masters in??
