“My room is already so full that there are not enough chairs for students.”

A current Lee County teacher · submitted anonymously through the form on this page, October 2026

We were warned that there would be more staff cut from our school. We were warned that it looked like some classrooms having 40 students. These are small rooms ment for no more than 25 students.

My room is already so full that there are not enough chairs for students. When I asked for help to address this I was assured ‘We’re working on it’. There isn’t much admin can do. We have too many kids and not enough teachers and we are supposed to be losing even more.
