today was the first day with students and. it was such a shitshow. not the students, but the school. we are so ill-prepared and, yes, it's predominantly a district issue, but it is also an administration issue and us teachers were left completely floundering today. I was talking to two other teachers who said that in their respective 20 and 15 years of teaching, this is the most chaotic start to a school year they've ever had. I had to raise eleven kinds of hell today because of the injustices not only done to me as a teacher, but to my students and their success and learning. and I'm so tired and ill-prepared for tomorrow too, so I have to stay up a tad bit longer to get my lessons for tomorrow finalized but I will be coming home tomorrow and I will be taking a nap. for a long time.
