    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....
