We work all day and night. The paperwork and administrative duties are out of control — all while we are trying to teach and control 32 8-year-olds in one class. It’s sad the kids suffer from that. I’m overworked, burned out and stressed, and so are all the teachers. The 26-year-olds are like “We are outta here.” They won’t have anyone to teach eventually.
