Me pretending this is my peke 😂 me pretending I made it 😂 #occcwhanau
Would straight up love to go back to my OG goal of being a kindy teacher, for real. 🧡 Am over the mad disrespect from SOME of our Opo teens right now. When I go to OCC I get soooo many waves, smiles and cuddles 🧡 the kids flock to me 🧡 sorry Riley 😂
I think I need a break
#burnoutsucks Riding my third burnout wave like a boss 😂😂😂😂😭🤦🏻♀️😭
Context -- year 11s were awful today. Not all. Some. I had to do TWO yellow cards. I never have to do them. Well, hardly ever.
And two today. And it helped calm the kids down.
But that was after another kaiako in the building came to check on me and the escalating situation.
And after silly behaviour from students
And after my awesome seniors had volunteered their time to come support with the analysis and be my teaching assistants/teacher aides.
Because there is no funding available for Y11s.
And I have to get these kids through literacy.
And there is SO much pressure.
And soon I'm going to be the only senior English teacher in our kura.
And it's heartbreaking.
Hopefully we get the right people applying so I can be freed up to teach the seniors or just the right people apply so I have support in the senior school....
A comment to my mate in DM --
Yes! Tika tena oi 😭🧡 it's so downheartening and just upsetting. Our kids need to sort their shit out. And it's not all of them. Just some. But at Y11 I'd expect our kids to be better by now. But I just need some help. 35 kids, all high needs, and just me. It's really really hard. I've reached out for support from SLT. Am just waiting to find some funding or other solutions -- like team teaching or having another body or two to support the kids while I do one on one where needed. Makes me so sad for all the kids who miss out on the help they need and then play up because they can't access the learning. And it's not their fault. They actually want to learn. But I can't keep spreading myself so thin 🧡
