[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers crying is not uncommon. It's a highly stressful job and we don't have a lot of time to just hole up in an office and deal with it. I just walked in on a third year teacher crying after getting yelled at for low middle of year benchmark reading scores.[/quote]

I’ve cried in the classroom from happiness over the progress a student has made. That moment when they are able to do something they thought they couldn’t do. Not full on crying but eyes full of tears and the student has asked me why I’m crying. Maybe they’ve gone home and reported that I cried in the classroom, who knows.

I’ve also cried before students arrive in the morning after a particularly demoralizing meeting held before school and I’m sure kids could tell. I can remember crying one other time when my 3 year old was scheduled to have cardiac surgery on a Monday and I got a call on the Friday before that his lab work wasn’t in yet and the surgery would have to be postponed. Luckily I had my phone with me to take the call (a nod to the other thread). Context matters.

These examples are over a span of 15 years. I don’t have any mental health issues. Working with people day in and day out with whom you form strong relationships with can be emotional. It can’t really be compared with most office jobs.

And who says she’s unmedicated because she’s pregnant. OP is way overstepping boundaries. [/quote]
