I've been in a funk lately. I lost my race against a good racer and now I am out of the FF4FE tournament. I am very proud with how far I went given it was my first tournament. To make it through 6 weeks of swiss rounds, the play in round for brackets, and then to play in the round of 32 is an amazing accomplishment! It is so much work though trying to convince my brain to believe that, especially after the huge anxiety I had during the race when my stream was very unstable and just not good. I have not been able to watch that race yet because of it. I know the community understands, but it still feels incredibly embarrassing.
On the bright side I was able tweak a few things and finally research the injest servers and now my past two streams have had zero dropped frames!
School is stressing me out. Kids are done and it is worse than dragging teeth to try to get them to care or want to learn. Admin is on something and pushing out these new initiatives and schedule ideas for next year without even seeming like they learned any lessons from this year. Why have a block and early release two days of the week? Why have everyone on a team only teach 4 class then have a combo "support hour"? Do they want to have class sizes of 35+?!! Also, how would it be possible for a teacher to teach an "off team" class as an elective. That would be neat to expand our number of electives to truly give our students more opportunities to learn things. Also are these teams and "everyone huddled together in a pod for 4+ hours a day" really how students best learn? What about the scheduling fiasco from this year, you still want to keep pushing what we did before? What about lunches?
I just have so many questions and feel like they are just going to continue ramming this down our throats. I often think about switching districts for this reason and for the fact that I want to teach physics and I really don't get the opportunity to do so.
