Here in South America Waldorf teachers feel the same. There is so much work to do every day throughout the year… And we feel the stress of not earning enough to make ends meet at the end of the month.

Feeling the same this week. Wednesday in frustration, I said aloud to a senior staff person, “This job is hard enough without people making it harder!” The outburst was a result of a broken paper cutter, but it was the drop that had the cup run over.

Yes, yes, yes and yes!!! Never delete the truth. It is so important for people to hear. I was a classroom teacher in a Waldorf (inspired) program for 10 years. I just retired in June. I miss it, but not the stress. Eventually, I don’t know when, teachers will get paid what they deserve. Until then, keep doing what you love, breathe deeply through the tough parts and take all the hidden benefits you describe as part of your emotional paycheck. Blessings
