[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What aspect of your job do you find least favorable and how do you try to overcome it? What has worked?[/quote]

Thank you for asking.

1) Working 65 hours a week (70 hours a week when grades are due) in order to plan, teach, administer, attend multiple meetings, attend trainings, test, grade, substitute teach for colleagues, etc.

2) Enduring gaslighting bullying from an assistant principal.

3) Not being able to obtain services for students who truly need it.

4) Getting 5 hours of sleep per night.

Here is how I overcame it: I quit.[/quote]

I’ll be following you out the door. I worked from 6:30-4:30 today, and again from 7-9:30. I’m nowhere near ready for tomorrow because I didn’t finish the colossal stack of grading I wanted to return. I’m waking up at 4 to see if I can get it done in time. I absolutely hate the hours. I feel I’m always at work or thinking about work. I hate the workload so much.[/quote]

You have my sympathies. Get out as soon as you can. None of these people will be at your funeral but they are putting you into an early grave with a crushing workload. Teachers are making less than $20 per hour when you factor In the actual time it takes to get it al done. I don't miss it at all.
