I’ve submitted an Educational Health and Care Plan nearly 2 weeks late as I’ve been struggling with time. Please, protect me from any local authority trouble due to the result of this.
I can’t manage being a classroom teacher and the SENCo with a caseload of 110 children. I’m working till 11:00 at night and I’m still not able to do either role to the best they deserve as I only have a day and a bit out of class to complete all the SENCo tasks. I’ve been red RAG-rated and have had lots of negative comments from leaders about what I’m not able to do, despite putting in 110% to the sacrifice of myself and my family. I’m working 12-hour days and at least 6 hours each day over the weekend. I’ve explained about the time to leaders but they still expect me to do both roles. I have hope and trust God, but I am in the middle of a flood right now and I’m holding onto the rock for dear life. So much of my energy each day is taken up with fighting floods of tears from bursting out. I don’t want to quit, as children and families rely on me. I feel selfish asking for prayer for myself, but I’m at the lowest point in my life and can’t cope with any more negativity about the things I’m not able to complete.
