We do not care we are staying home, being very unproductive, and wearing pjs. It‘s our last day of summer break, and we have to report back to school tomorrow.
Prayers and good vibes though. I struggled significantly last year with behaviors of students and my own self worth. I love teaching, but it‘s taking a toll on my mental health. I‘m hoping for a love of teaching to spark in me again with a good group of kids. @dabbe #WDNCW

Soubhiville I hope this year is wonderful. Thank you for being a teacher, we need more! It‘s one of the most important professions! 1w
dabbe The last time I subbed as a retired teacher at my old school, it was a full day of freshmen; they almost ate me alive (and I'm a pretty tough teacher). 😅 Kids can be so challenging these days. But you've got this. Be tough, tough, tough at the beginning--niceties can come later. #preachingtothechoiriknow I wish you a roomful of fabulous kids and that you have a knock-it-out-of-the-ballpark year. 🩵💙🩵 1w
Eggbeater I used to work as an admin assistant for an office full of teachers. They were my heroes. They worked so hard. I have a lot of admiration for you. I know it's not an easy job, but it's one of the most important things you can do. 1w
Roary47 @Soubhiville Thank you! I agree more teachers are needed. I have to teach three different Science subjects this coming year. 🥹💛 1w
Roary47 @dabbe Thank you! They are getting harder, and I get behavior kids that being tough can sometimes make it worse. 😭 One kid last year‘s paperwork said to: “Let him go or he would fight”. He was a junior taller than me. Two others in trouble with the law. 😓 Ugh it was a mess. I‘m normally firm, but a give respect and you get respect back as my motto. 1w
Roary47 @Eggbeater Thank you! It‘s so hard. Im lucky that my department and school are so supportive. 🥹💛 1w
LiseWorks Good luck 1w
dabbe @Roary47 It's even harder when every student seems to have their own special needs/issues that need to be addressed--and you have like 180 of them a day! 😱 But you are doing the most important work there is--and that should make you stand as tall as a redwood tree. 💚🌳💚 1w

EmilyM Just wanted to let you know you aren't a lone in how you feel. This will be year 28 for me and in the last few years I have really struggled mentally and with self worth. ❤️ 6d
Roary47 @EmilyM I‘m sorry you are in the same struggle. I teach high school and ever since Covid I haven‘t seen the quality of students I used to 10 years going for me. I looked at my roster and I got all the faces I didn‘t already know that I struggled to get out of the bathrooms. 😓 I‘m counting on my AP and my cute freshies to get me through. 6d
TheLudicReader You have to go back to school now?! What is this madness? I agree that kids have changed…Covid, smart phones. I will be starting year 17 in Sept and while I am at a great school with great kids, it‘s definitely gotten harder. You‘ve got this! 6d
Roary47 @TheLudicReader Thank you! We start now because we are getting really nice breaks this year. I‘ve always known the smart phones, but did you hear about the law where smart phones should not be in classrooms? 🤩 We have a new bathroom policy that should really help too! Yay! 🎉 6d
