Everyone is #stressed and for good reason. For #educators this time of year adds additional stressors: mandatory #standardizedtests are upon us. Worse, it’s when the bad #budget news is shared. And it’s *always* bad. It appears my school lost #title1 despite our unchanged population. We again have to staff and schedule with a kind of creative genius those in #government would boggle at - behold as we squeeze blood from a stone! As #teachers hold it together with duct tape and #grit! #newmexico
