One of the billion reasons why teacher morale is low...

I had the head of curriculum basically tell me today that I don't know my students well enough to know if they should be in Pre-Algebra or Algebra next year and that they will figure it out based on data.

Are you *(&%%&# kidding me? Students I have spent the entire year with? I have no clue if they are ready for the next level?

I had all I could do to not tell this woman off. What the heck do people think teachers do that they wouldn't know their own students??

Teachers also aren’t paid enough so there’s that

@SW-User Yes. I’m not paid enough to be treated like that. I just get tired of doing my job and then being essentially told I don’t know what I’m doing. When administrators have no faith in their veteran teachers, the teachers stop caring.

@Dewkissedrose even In general regardless of how they are treated they don’t make enough money
