I got the letter telling me when and where to report for my in-service week today. IMMEDIATELY anxiety sets in. Can the summer be over already? We're starting a week earlier this year which doesn't help, either.
I didn't get anywhere near as much done as I wanted to this summer and dread another year of being behind in planning and possibly having a class I am TERRIBLE at teaching. The thought of starting now just puts that rock with the butterflies back in my stomach. On top of it- my pdoc is changing my meds right now- including my klonopin. NOT A GOOD TIME FOR THIS! Sorry- just a little overwhelmed  . How do you react to this back to school time? and any advice to get through this would be great!

I head back this Friday to start my 30th year. Can't wait! I've long ago lost anxiety over starting a new year. I look forward to getting back into the swing of things again. I love (and need) my summers, but I'm always ready to head back; I'm a horribly lazy stay-at-home person.
If there is another teacher teaching that class you don't feel comfortable with, see if they'll plan with you. That might help you feel better about it. If you are on your own, just keep at it. You learn more every time you work with a class. I never teach a class exactly the same way; always making adjustments for what works and doesn't work. |

I've been having back-to-school anxiety nightmares for a few weeks already. I didn't even get half way through summer before they returned!! It's so utterly annoying. But it's never the kids that cause me the anxiety... it's the admin.

OH MY GOSH. I was just thinking this today. I did summer school which just ended on Thursday so I only have two weeks off but I'm sick with worry. I just think I'm a terrible teacher and I am not looking forward to another year ****ing everything up...which is ridiculous! Why would they keep me if I were terrible? Ugh it's so annoying.

Up until last year I was a special education para and dreaded going back. My husband is a teacher and started back last week (kids started yesterday). I am going back to grad school next week to start on a sped endorsement so I figure in 3 years I will be teaching and that already makes me feel sick.

I start on the 24th with trainings and teacher workshops. I'm in a new position at a new school district. The anxiety is super high. I'm struggling with all the "what ifs".
On top of that, I'm having a really hard time making any appointments with my treatment team. My previous position was flexible with start and end times...as long as we were accountable and updated our calendar. Now I'm in a typical classroom and I have set times. It is turning out to be a scheduling nightmare. How do you guys manage? |
