I'm a teacher and I was feeling grumpy about going back to work. I told my husband as he was leaving this morning how unfair it was and he didn't feel sorry for me at all. LOL.I decided to look at my rosters (which have photos of the students, every school should do this) since they just came in to see what students I have and now I'm feeling much more excited. I guess I did miss them. I have some students I had a few years back and it's going to be a fun year.

@futurebird I left teaching many years ago, but it's always a what if in the back of my head. I'd probably go back if I were broke. But I don't know if I can do the job again. The physical demands, time spent planning and grading outside classroom hours, the admin and parents... If those were manageable, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's such meaningful work.

@futurebird A couple of years ago, at my kids’ elementary school, they had to let the teachers horse trade students. Teacher/class assignments were not finalized until like the second week. Apparently the year before that, one teacher ended up with almost all of the well-known problem students and she basically threatened to quit if it happened again.(The so-called problem students deserve an education as much as anyone but I can understand the need to balance things…)

@futurebird My dad was a teacher. Every school year, he would lose weight all during the terms. Then, in the summer, my mom would labor to fatten him back up again so that he could survive another school year.

@futurebird Thank you for your service! Very important job, and the best teachers are pure gold. Hopefully you will have a better day than my spouse, who’s A/C was not working, so the temp was 80° in the room. 🥵

@rk I don't think we have any "problem students" but there are students who I'd rather not deal with together because they are either too good friends and annoying or they don't like each other and they are annoying or... if you can imagine it... BOTH.

@futurebird get crunked for the future! Arm them with knowledge and integrity. It's going to be a battle. You're like the counterpart of Michael Ironside in Starship Troopers.

@futurebird 🤔 funny how no-one seems to want to go to a job where they're paid far too little, and then told how to do their job by people with no effing clue how to do their job.
