Praying in school. How easy?

[Amuslimgirl]

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if any of you is a Muslim teacher here. How easy is it to pray on time if I work as a teacher? Do you ever end up missing salah?

Wa'alaikum salaam sis it's actually really easy as a secondary teacher as we have our own classrooms and just use the classroom. However a lot of schools have prayer rooms as well. The only issue I would say is wudu I used to go to a completely different building as they had a separate toilet with its own sink until I found one nearby after years 😅😅. Also you have break and lunchtime although you might have duty you should be able to manage. The only time I struggle is during the winter as I either have to leave straightaway to make it for maghrib or wait until after. I have missed salahs however I put that on myself.

Sometimes it can be tricky depending on timings but generally speaking it is doable. You just have to be ‘brave’ to tell people in your room (eg cleaners/ other staff) that you are going to pray so can’t answer if they talk to you. They will get used to it quickly.
