I'd like to start knowing this community better, so I ask a question: what has been your most challenging situation as a teacher?
I start: one of the most challenging situations I remember it's telling a family his son has a learning disability and helping them to understand him.
@teacherPaz I also want to add: Staff Meetings that could have been emails. It is a little thing, but it is based on the assumption that we aren't professional enough to read emails from admin, so they feel the need to sit us down while they spend 45 min of our "off-the-clock" time flipping through a PowerPoint presentation we could have read ourselves. 😡😫🤬
@sarahmiller1746 totally agree 🤣👏🏼 and not just the meeting, I don't know in your school but in Spain you need to record all what is said in a meeting and sign it later so you're spending time in the meeting and paperwork... But, as headteacher I just say for some people is necessary 🥲 I'm discovering things about some mattress I never thought about...
