JUST VENTING
I really hate to bring the negativity. I think I work with the most unhappy, unprofessional, people in America. The negativity has really been weighing on me lately even though I try to stay positive. It's very difficult to work in an environment where the teachers don't care about the students and don't believe that the students here can be successful. This appears to be the attitude of most of the teachers here. I feel like I am the only one here to "fight the good fight". I think it's sad that most of the students here do not get what they need to be successful from home, but what's worse is that the teachers here do not seem to have the enthusiam that teachers should. The morale here is very low and I know that the students can tell.
Ok...here's where you have to reach deeply inside yourself and set your goal...maybe it's "I want to reach one student this week and make something happen." Also set a reachable big goal...and that may be to change how the people around you act....
ReplyDeletefor your school, the administration is key to changing the perception of how others act....Start by setting the example you want others to see and hopefully follow..but most of all, do not give up!
