It is discouraging the amount of red tape there is in education. The bad apple syndrome is in full effect. Because so many people have taken advantage of situations in momentous ways, those of us who are striving to better ourselves, encourage our students and go above and beyond the job are met with resistance.
I want to stay where I am (middle school) and help a colleague (high school) while they are achieving higher education. We've come up with a plan that will meet all the administrators needs and even enrich our student's education with team teaching, yet the fear of "opening the door" to others who might take advantage of a similar situation has become a wall in our way. Please send positive thoughts that will allow our admin to have faith in us and our ability to accomplish what we have set as our goals.
I am getting discouraged, not in my children and the amount of effort and encouragement they need at times, but with all the other baggage that comes with teaching. It is beginning to squash my passion and desire to keep trying to make a difference.
