This is my first year teaching, and I'm with 3rd grade students who are low academically and socioeconomically. Teaching these students is very difficult, but I find the demands of the TAKS test, special services, pull-out schedules (library, science lab, peer tutoring, content mastery lab) to add to my enormous load. Aside, I have a teamed coworker who physically beats on me in various ways leaving bruises, emotionally abuses me constantly, and goes through my desk drawers. I have alerted my principal to this but he says she isn't going anywhere because her student's always have high TAKS scores.
Im miserable. I thought I wanted to be a teacher but I am absolutely miserable. Is the field of education like this every where? I need advice. Im pregnant now and I really need to cut down on my stress level.
