Story 07: Kathy (FL) & Teacher Workload

My name is Kathy and I’ve taught Spanish for 43 years.

What made me happy this week >>>

Being with my grandchildren and seeing some of my old friends

From my camera roll that makes me smile >>>

This is the place behind my son’s house where I take my grandchildren to play and they’ll play here for hours.

Teacher pressure feels like >>>

I feel pressure when there are a lot of deadlines or other expectations along with my regular “teach six classes a day” job. I often don’t feel I can get everything that’s expected of me done in the one planning period I have.
