Yep, you read right, our school has a bug problem. Not we have a few cockroaches running around ora few crickets. We have had 2 teachers and a few kids bit by a mysterious bug. Our office manager has been in the hospital for 5 days and another teacher has been in and out all week. And yes, we are still in school...why? Cuz we have testing next week.
Our health insurace doesn't kick in till Saturday but this bug bite becomes serious within 24-48 hrs. And, our students rarely have health insurance or access to quality Drs. Many of us are extremely frustrated and numerous people have commented that they have had it. Good to know I'm not the only one extremely frustrated here...
And on teacher "left" last week. It's unclear about the circumstances but most of the feelings are he was either fired or pushed out. I also found out our charter organization is known for being "fire happy." Instead of working with teachers our organization feels it's easier to just fire them. I'm at my breaking point and feeling like this is all too much. If I didn't adore my kids I couldn't do this. It's such a joy to go into them every day but the rediculousness of the politics needs to stop.
If you can't tell I'm exhausted
On a better note, I spent some time today praying over my kids as they took a test. It's amazing how great of students I have, they are awesome, little, fun and still innocent. With almost every kid I prayed they wouldn't loose their childlikeness or grow up too fast. I love that they are still little and ignorant. I wish I could protect them from the world they are in but I know it will slowly get to them and it makes me so sad.
Sorry this post is kinda down, especially after not posting for a while but I'm just tired...really really tired
