I've finally got a handle on my classroom, but I'm paying for supplies out of my own paycheck and grading until midnight most nights. I love these kids, and I keep giving more of myself to fill the gaps no one else will. Some nights I quietly wonder how much longer I can keep this up.
More people experience this than they realize.
You're covering the gaps with your own money and time until there's nothing left.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
