Every now and again teachers get together and just relax. It may be a happy hour, a potluck, or even a party on the weekend. Regardless of the activity, my advise to all teachers out there is to blow off a little steam together. Gossip. Laugh. Trade stories about your students and your day. You have to do this or some of our schools will literally choke the life out of you. I know several teachers who have gone home crying, burst into tears mid class, and even gone to the hospital with heart palpitations (I call them the palps). Don't let the kids straight up murder you with stress.
My tip for administrators? Pay for these things. Your teachers will love you and they will be better in the classroom for it. We all know how much you make, and we all know you have bills. So do we. All I'm saying is a few slices of pizza and a can of soda once a month won't break your bank. Show us some love and we'll give it back with interest.
