Had a crappy day...

... so I'm here to take my mind off it. I need some cheering up. I never thought that being a teacher, you could encounter so much drama. I hope when I'm a parent, I don't put my kid's teachers under a microscope. People just need to relax. Sorry for venting a bit.

I think being a teacher has more drama than any other job!!! I TOTALLY understand what you are going through!

Sorry you had a rough day - parents can be so skeptical... I'm not looking foward to being a first year teacher and having my every choice questioned next year...

I hope tomorrow is better for you!

Thanx girls! I appreciate the support!

1.
first, hugs to you, you have the hardest job short of parenting.
2. My BF is a teacher and she contantly struggles with stress related to the job so I feel what you are saying.
3. My sis is a pediatrician and she always says the same thing --> she looks after kids but what she spends her real time doing is taking care of parents who question her judgement.
I hope you get it out of your system -- kids need devoted teachers like you who care. All my best.

There are some days I don't even get to pee.

Ya know... it always amazed me when i was little that teachers never seemed to pee! Of course, it never occured to me that they could when we were at lunch, art, P.E., etc....

I thought my teacher was some sort of supreme being!

Feel better!!! I have a lot of friends who are teachers, including FH and I give you guys a LOT of credit, I don't think I could do it!!!

Farmingdale, in a Catholic school!

Aw, Angelbear. Sorry you had a rough day. But you know what, teachers really DO make difference in their kids lives. A lot of teachers helped me along my way, and I will always be grateful for how they positively influenced my life.
