In education we know that policies and the way we do things is always changing constantly! It is hard enough to keep up and be on top of it all. You finally get something down and boom it changes again! There's always so much thrown at us at once.

As always this is a constant struggle we as teachers have had for years. My building has its own BRC (behavior resource center) and we've had some very tough students over the years. I also feel that parents struggle to be parents now a days and students have a lost a lot of respect for adults and it makes it very difficult.

Not only are we trying to teach throughout the day, but we also end up being a counselor or parent figure to many of our students. As much as we want to help our students in any and every way possible it certainly impacts your teaching on a regular basis.

All teachers have so much with planning, grading, IAT, evaluations etc. Being a special education teacher we also get hit with having to keep so much data on everything we do, we also have progress reports and of course IEPs that come with pages upon pages. Then add in all the time we spend planning and holding IEP meetings.

I know personally I struggle with not having enough time in the day to feel like I am truly making a difference. Being a special education teacher and not having my own classroom of students all day I have been thrown into doing lunch, recess, and bus duties which take up a lot of my day. I feel like this takes me out of the classroom.

Certainly this has become a huge hardship on teacher to make sure we are meeting all students where they need to be racially and equally. The social media has made this even harder on teachers and even students to be able to express themselves freely, but respectfully.

It's hard to be a teacher when parents/coaches/districts don't put a value on education like we do. Especially in a low poverty district where parents are often uneducated themselves and don't see the need to push their kids academically or simply don't know how.

I teach in a poverty stricken district where our students have been through a lot of trauma and don't have great home lives. Many of our students come to school exhausted, hungry, and not in the right mindset to learn.
