I’m over the old contractual maximum caseload as a SpEd teacher, and about to be at the point where the District has to pay a penalty (or stipend) for putting so many kids on my roster. Managing these many cases is chaotic in an Inclusion setting.
To relieve some stress, sitting here contemplating all the emails that go out and the few that come back, I tried to do an activity that many NTs say we autistics can’t do, put ourselves in others POV. I’ll do it with a bit of haiku and 60’s style revolutionary poetry.
Me
The emails keep going
Searching for advice in vain
Few answers come back
Them
Inbox overflowing
A thousand emails unread
Work never ends, it seems
The Solution?
Comrades, our inboxes brim
With fruitless requests for aid
While the bourgeois ignore our pleas
Is this the revolution we bled for?
No more waiting for replies that won't come
We must seize the means of communication!
Storm the offices, occupy the hallways
Force the intellectual elite to confront the people's needs
Only then will our voices be heard
And our students' progress no longer hindered
By the endless email chains of the technocratic elite!
