I know why I'm so bored in my current position. My job is the observe the teachers during the reading block. I monitor to make sure that the program is run with fidelity and the the students are on task. I find it very difficult to play my role and today I realized what the problem is, I'M BORED!!!!!
What happened to the fun and creativity that use to come along with the teaching profession? What happened to the enthusiastic teachers that just absolutely LOVE to teach? What happened to them, you ask? THE SYSTEM
The teachers are stressed out because they feel they're being overloaded with paperwork and not enough time to fit it all in one day. I remember being in school and I remember my mom as a teacher. The only thing they were responsible for was teaching and grading papers. They didn't have to analyze data or keep up with data boards. They didn't have to write discipline plans because the discipline plan back then was a B-E-L-T!
Education has changed a lot over the years and unfortunately we're losing a lot of our kids. They're not focused, they're not interested, and just like the teachers they're here because they feel they have to be. It has to stop!!!!!
