New School Year Angst

[Veronica]

I want to quit my job. My students are actually shaping up pretty nicely. It's the rest of the sh!t I have to deal with!

Let's see: two days out of the week I work from 8:15 to 12:40 with no break.
I have two full curriculums to cover - math, science, social studies, reading, writing.
I have GATE students to service.
I have resource students to service.

And I was doing okay with all that...

but now. I get to have additional students from other classes for 30 minutes a day while another teacher works with about ten English Language Learners. So, I'm losing 30 minutes of my instructional time to cover all the above. I'll have extra kids that I'll have no space for. I have to figure out what I'm doing with all those kids. It's just f'ed up.
