A Little Hurt
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and the powers that be at the school have things planned all week for the teachers. Today was a bag with a chocolate covered strawberry and lunch. There were packages with teachers names on them that had these things in them. The secretaries told me about the treats this morning but I forgot as the day went on, so I didn't even realize that the lunch and stuff had arrived until my aide told me that she went and checked but there was nothing there for us. Apparently we are not teachers. I am going to have to look at my contract again because I am pretty sure that I was hired here as a teacher and I have been teaching here all year. Maybe I am just not appreciated. I know that is not the truth it is just that I was overlooked, again. I am so tired of being overlooked and forgotten all of the time just because I am a special education teacher whe teaches in a self contained classroom of children that the district wishes would go away. Well they are not going to go away and if they were given half a chance they are amazing little boys who do have a lot of potential. This isn't the first, second or even tenth time I have been forgotten, so you would think that I would be used to it by now. Oh well....what to do...
