What amazes me is...
The fact that we have information about anything we need at our fingertips. We send emails, robocalls, physical newsletters, post everything on our website and yet parents still can’t be bothered to...

Spot on!
I feel the same as all of you. I started feeling rested and re-charged over Winter Break but the last three days in particular have just done me in. I’m exhausted but can’t sleep, hungry but can’t...

Mask fatigue, it’s real!
I teach 6th grade math. We wheel around our carts going from class to class and teaching our hearts out. I love being back in school, but I find that I do struggle to breath in a mask. I’ve tried...

I am so stressed because you are right, there is no perfect plan. We start school in two weeks. We will be online to start, but the governor says it will be through August 17th. Too much to do and...

Greyhound Girl...
I’m with you. I too was OK with it until just recently. I live in AZ and I thought 115 degrees was to stop the spread, but nope, we are increasing at an alarming rate.

COVID Waiver??
I am in Arizona and do not know anything about a Covid Waiver. What does that contain? Is it so you can’t sue the school or something? A waiver about your health is nuts and sounds totally illegal!!!

Cleaners - what do you think?
Posted By
azteach88
I agree with so many of you...
Especially the 4-day model. We need one day of solid cleaning. We can use Clorox wipes, but we can’t use them when kids are present and we obviously can’t have kids use them on their own desks and...

Latch Key Generation
I am from the original “latch key” generation. It is a real shame that most households do not have a parent at home or that families can no longer survive on one income. My mom went back to work in...

No REAL union in AZ
This is a right to work state so our union (if you want to call it that) is more like an organization and not what most of you consider a union.
For those that don't know, PBL stands for project...

Looped Twice
We mixed up the kids both times due to behavior issues mainly. Unless you have your dream class, looping with the same kids doesn’t always make for a happy teacher.

We were told not to be seen outside of our homes between 7:30am and 3:30pm because it sends the “wrong” message to parents. I’m sorry, but I can’t go for a walk to my mailbox because I’m suppose to...
