Education

Covered a class during my conference period today. And Friday. 3 days last week, 8 days the first 8 days of the new semester. Admin doesn't like putting APs in the classroom. Today we wound up merging classrooms one period--no volunteer teacher subs, admins all busy or in the classroom, and there were still uncovered classes. "Surprise, Ms. K, you get half of your neighbor's students! You history, they're in art! Enjoy!"

Plus there's after-school detention, Saturday after-school detention. Standardized test tutoring or night school. ARDs. 504s. I'm really tired. It's the days when I arrive at 6:20 am and leave campus at 7:15 pm that really hurt.


Add in the daily notifications of "an individual in your class has tested positive". And between classes we're to be in the halls ...

And the "an individual in your child's class has tested positive" notes.


I seriously have trouble imagining I haven't been infected at least once. Maybe twice. Most of my students, few of my colleagues, mask.

None of my students have been hospitalized.
