I don't understand the administration here. They're here to support teachers, to help us when we need it. The administrator on my hall, however, has it out for all of us. He doesn't want to help. I feel that the only reason he ever stops by my room is to find something that I am doing wrong so that I can get in trouble for it. And it doesn't stop there. Oh no. Not only does he have it out for me, he makes sure that the other administrators know that things aren't perfect in my class either. I'm seriously unhappy here. *grumble*
I'm human
Thursday, March 6, 2008It's weird that as a teacher I'm not supposed to have feelings. I feel as if I'm not supposed to let my students know that I have a heart, that I'm supposed to keep them thinking that I'm just a robotic teaching machine. I can't help it. Today they saw me for me. A human being who not only thinks, but feels as well. It's an odd feeling when you have a classroom filled with 20 some odd students and they see a part of you like that. It's as if you suddenly are so vulnerable. It's very odd.
I didn't have a full mental breakdown. I managed to control most of it. But I did start tearing up a little as I told them how frustrated I get with them. I think they all learned something from that experience. It kinda shocked me.
