Post: feeling inadequate
 MS  Posted on 10/15/09
This is my fourth year teaching, second year at middle
school. I am a special ed teacher-co-teaching 4 classes
and 1 self contained class. ALl the teachers say this
group of kids this year is really tough, but I am feeling
really inadequate this year, stressed and tired of
discipling all day (except my self-contained 6 kids). I am
a young, short, white female and the majority of students
are african american middle schoolers. The boys are just
rude, the girls have too much attitude and I am just tired
of "baby-sitting' all day. Sorry for the negative post,
but I am really thinking about changing careers, and at the
same time I am working on finishing my master's degree in
special education.... for what?
Maybe I can become a supervisor someday if I stick through
the next few years....
