Frustrated with the Foolishness

 Yesterday I sat in a pointless meeting.  I watched as people were struggling to find  resources to help their students and just spending money foolishly.  I had the answers and it was my own cash and no one seemed to care.  I finished up the day and thought with the impending weather I better have a plan in case they cancelled school.  It was a fairly quick process but with not having a break that day, challenging students I was pretty knocked out. I was ready for the next remote day or so I thought.  It probably also did not help that I am in the midst of starting new meds.  At 6:30 we got a call about stupid Covid tests from the school.  It was like they were playing on my nerves that school was truly going to be cancelled.  At 10 PM they decided to close the school.  I woke up after a few hours of sleep and it took everything for me to go back to bed.  Then I wake up and get ready for my day.  They constantly changed their plan.  I emailed parents.  I contacted parents.  I looked like a fool having to change my plans and then less than a half an hour from go time the district decided to go on Google classroom and not go live.  I got some pretty ignorant messages that they were not pleased or the work I had provided at the last minute.  Funny thing is the parents that complained the most have the most challenging kids.  OM Goodness you have to spend a day with your kid and I don't get to babysit them as normal.  I tried to be nice and direct them to the district.  It should be interesting how I get in trouble tomorrow for again something that is not my fault.  Something has to give.  This stupid can't go on much longer. 

I am thankful that I can see how I was prepared the best I could.  I am thankful I did not lash out at the parents.  I am thankful I had a plan within a plan.  It blew my mind how foolish the kids acted with the whole day.  I need to rethink this whole remote thing for tomorrow if they call off school.  Who would of thought bus drivers would be the ones who allow us to have a break from covering other people's absences.  Crazy right
