My Nose Knows I Blew It. A Rough time To Be A Teacher.

[CapnSteve]

18. Hang in there, brother! What you do is important.

I keep telling myself that as well. First year as a teacher, leading a Behavior Support Services program at the elementary level. They keep adding students to my roster, the last four in the last two weeks. Currently at eleven and understaffed.

As you know, every change results in increased targeted behaviors. I have to instruct K through 4th grade.

It is a lot, but the reality is that there are very few people like us who are willing to do this very difficult job. Without me, their lives would be a lot, lot worse, and that is not arrogance or hyperbole.

24 school days left down here, not that I am counting!
