The school I work at has 50+ special needs students, and 5 teachers. When there is a workshop, or someone is sick, or whatever reason a teacher isn't there, it doesn't so happen that they are replaced by a sub, just the teachers that are left take over their classes plus another teachers. This is what happened today.
Me +14 students who are deaf, + 8 under 6 year olds.
I was already a bit elevated, because of not knowing the teachers were going to be gone, and then trying to create some lesson plans for each of the classes, because its not as if teachers leave them..
Then in the afternoon session one of the other teachers started taunting another student, getting the other students to laugh. All I heard was screaming for an hour, and the last 5 mins i realized it was the other teacher causing it. The teacher! One of the only 3 adults.AWESOME. Yay for being on the same page??
Boo me for complaining, but sometimes its hard to internalize all the frustrations that happen on a daily basis, and then add in what happened above.
Peace, Love and Frustration
