Every day is stressful. I am with the 2-3 year olds and they have never had any discipline before I came along. My lead teacher leaves evet day when I get there, and so I am the lead teacher without being called the lead and my assistant is not very well versed in taking care of 2 year olds. Out of my 16 children, one is autistic, and 5 others have serious behavioral issues that need written reports daily. I got a TON of support in the beginning and now, I am just left alone all day. I am the ONLY one who cleans the room and the toys and when I told the director that the small rug in the back corner was moldy and could I please remove it because it made the whole room smell, she told me no. That back corner leaks badly every time it rains. I am trying my best to be a "good" teacher an I really do love my children, but they are too far gone discipline wise and I just am not doing this very well. I didn't sign up to get wooden blocks thrown at my head (with a resulting beautiful scar to remind me of it) nor did I sign on to be kicked spit on or hit. I am left wondering where all of the kindness and support from the director and assistant director went???
