A Year at Durant
Teaching has to be the one of the biggest emotional roller coasters out there. Especially when you're at a school like mine. I know I've talked about the title 1 life a few times on here, but recently it's been feeling a little different. Let me explain. There's always challenges with teaching in general, and even more at a title 1 school, but sometimes it all feels like a lot. Let me explain. Usually the challenges have to do with children with chronic absences, minimal funding, absent parents, and a lack of admin support. And don't get me wrong, all of these challenges are still happening, but somehow there's new ones. First, there are a few boys from my 2nd class of the day that are my behavior kiddos, but we've always had a good relationship. They mess around in class, I redirect constantly, they never do work, but when we are conversating, there is no bad blood and the good relationship is there. The problem is, that admin has not handled things well...
