I wish my principal would give us more feedback and let us know if we are doing a good job or not. Just a simple, you are doing a great job and we appreciate you would go so far.

It is hard for me to help my students regulate when I’m struggling to regulate myself. My mental health is struggling, too.

There is a lot of stress this year, and it feels like the principals do not understand this stress or even understand/want to help with the stress. The administration team and counselors also seem very clique this year and almost that they are judging certain grade level teams.

1. Kids are just behind. COVID is gone but has left huge effects on our kids levels and abilities and sometimes they are just behind. There’s not a secret to unlock their brain, sometimes I just need to start over and reteach and that’s OKAY.

2. Please stop piling on clubs, and activities, and lunch carry-ins, and last minute meetings, and this and that. I am already very overwhelmed with what is on my plate. Calling me at 2:45 to tell me we have a meeting at 3:00 is only adding to my stress.

3. Please come in sometimes just to see me or my students. You should not only be coming into my classroom with your iPad ready to do my NEE observations. Sometimes you need to just pop in to say hi and give some words of encouragement to me or my class.

Prioritization. Boundaries. Soliciting help.

If I had more time to plan I could better implement engaging methods, if I had smaller classes I could better reach those struggling students. I know these issues are inherent to the job, but if our why is to be there for the kids, why does this feel like it gets either ignored or downplayed?

The work load is a lot this year, new reading curriculum, being on committees, prepping for standards based grading, I feel the stress load a lot this year.

Some of the expectations of MLS are unrealistic especially in the post COVID ERA we are in. Teachers are trying to make up for the lost learning, but leaders need to know most children are still behind.
