I Should Just Probably Swing By Their House and Pick Them Up

I have always been aware that my job involves more than just teaching. In fact, that's the part I like. Making lessons and activities and figuring out how to make them listen has always seemed pretty annoying and tedious to me. I like getting to know kids and helping them through problems. I like teaching them social skills and basically mothering them. At the beginning of each school year I spend about $200 buying basic school supplies for the kids who can't or won't get any. I always have paper and pencils on hand. I usually pay for about 5 kids to go on whatever field trip is scheduled at the time. I keep food in my cabinet to give to kids who are hungry. I am always updating my first aid kit because our school nurse is overworked and sometimes kids just need a band-aid and a pat on the head.
I'm not writing this to talk about how great I am. I'm saying I realize this is an unspoken part of my job and I am okay with it.

I'm also saying it so I'll sound like less of a brat when I complain about what I'm about to complain about.

We got an email yesterday from our CEO asking teachers to go clear the sidewalks at our schools of snow and ice so the kids can walk. around the school and "the area surrounding the school" and "the routes children who walk take" so I can "carve out a safe path." So I just spent 3 days shoveling out my car, and my driveway and my STREET for that matter (4 days since last snowfall...not a plow to be found in my neighborhood) and now I need to go down to my school's neighborhood and shovel them out too?

I get it. "We're all in this together" and blah blah. It just seems like the only time "we're all in this together" comes up is when somebody wants me to do something extra.

My sensible self knows this isn't really THAT big of a deal. But its just SOMETHING ELSE and it really pisses me off. I'm tired of being taken advantage of because I love my kids and they know I love my kids. They give me a shitty schedule because they know I won't just give up because that wouldn't be fair to the kids. They toss me around and treat me bad and make me jump through hoops because they know I'll do it for the kids. AND NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO SHOVEL SOMEBODY ELSE'S NEIGHBORHOOD!
