It's Monday afternoon and it looks like everyone is feeling pretty down - it is the first day of the new semester (and quarter 3) so there was an influx of new students this morning, all unannounced of course, so none of the teachers with new students had books or desks or anything. I didn't have any new students this morning, but who knows...it's all the little things combined that make this such an aggravating environment to work in. You never know what's coming next; is it a new student? Is it a new lesson plan format? Is it a formal observation (I still haven't been observed)? Is is a new class (we are teaching or rather covering music until further notice)? Is it a teacher out sick (the art teacher is out today and tomorrow so we have to cover art classes too)?
It feels like pretty much no one looks forward to coming to school anymore...how long before the kids notice? That our tempers are a little shorter, our smiles a little slower, our sighs a bit deeper...
