Ughhhhhh!

I officially hate teaching! Okay, I don't hate it, but I'm getting really frustrated. I go back to work next week and the following week is the first week of school. Although I worked at home to prepare and this will be my third year teaching, I'm completely overwhelmed and I forgot about all the crap that goes with this: new schedules, changing schedules, new staff members who don't care, new standards, new state mandates, huge class numbers (I'm already at thirty), shortages of supplies, broken promises.... The kids- the real reason I put up with this stuff- aren't here to remind me of my calling, so I'm just becoming embittered- after only one day working in the classroom.

Grrrrrrrrr!
