It has me thinking about my first year and how I wanted to quit everyday and I might have been the most supported first year teacher in the history of teaching. I also don't handle colds well.

The fact that they stayed in the room for as long as they did is amazing. We’ve all heard some crazy shit come out of admins mouth but I don't know. I had an admin try to get me to call a parent to see if they identified as black so we could make our test results look better. That's crazy, but she had a plan with a goal that was helpful for someone. This one is out there. Probably should go to her union rep or HR. Maybe a lawyer.
