I am a specials teacher. My team and I have been on carts since the beginning of the 2020-21 school year. On top of Covid, we are also in the midst of construction. We were all required to clean out and pack our classrooms completely last year. We got no compensation. I had over 40 industrial size bags of trash, not including the things that didn’t fit in the bags. The teacher before me was a hoarder and about 95% of the items in the classroom were not mine but left by previous teachers.
Yesterday, at a specials team PD, our principal had the audacity to tell us we were getting “lazy” because of Covid. I have never wanted to walk out and never come back as much as I did in that moment. I took today off and I will no longer be working more than I absolutely have to. I might as well be lazy if that’s what admin considers me ????
