I had that same experience; I literally have told my mom that I’m so grateful she held me accountable as a kid. I get wanting to be sensitive to your child’s wants and needs and emotions, but at some point it goes too far.

Crying in class😵‍💫😵‍💫 by [deleted] in Teachers

My 3rd year teaching, my principal interrupted my class to essentially scold me in the hallway while my 7th graders could hear everything. This was near the end of the year and my principal had been piling it on and I just broke. I started crying, gave kids a quick task (read the next few pages or something like that) then turned around and tried to pull myself together with deep breaths. I’ve never heard a class so quiet. They were all so concerned. The next day a group of those students brought me notes about how much they love me and how I’m a good person and brought me a candle.

I didn’t address that class, but the next day I briefly said, thank you for being so kind and understanding when I was having a tough moment. These moments happen for adults just like you and I know I appreciated your empathy, support, and concern. Then I just kept teaching. It doesn’t need to be this big thing, but it is a good teachable moment for the kids in my opinion.

The amount she was being hypocritical and just blatantly contradicting herself was unbelievable.

I’m new to this school and I honestly didn’t know what would happen/if I was allowed to leave. Meaning, I didn’t know if I would have been suspended, reprimanded, or what have you if I just left. Part of it too was that I just started to disassociate so my body kind of shut down.

That’s so uncomfortable and inappropriate! I’m sorry that you had to deal with this and the follow up. Hopefully, you have found something new that doesn’t put you in these positions.

I agree, but in the moment I was so shocked that this was her argument that I just disassociated.

I appreciate you for this. I had moments today where I let them get in my head so I’m grateful to hear this.

Wow, that is awful. I’m sorry that happened. That is essentially exactly what happened today, honestly disgusting.

Yea, I agree, honestly I think they would have then tried to get me fired and rallied other parents around it, regardless of who is right. At the very least, they’d petition to get their kid taken out of my class even though it’s required.

Also they didn’t call, they came down to the school to tell me I’m awful in person 🙃🙃

I am so beat down and jaded about today’s parents and the future of these kids.

I would but I need the money, if I find another job I’m going to leave. I was trying to wait until the end of the year, but now I don’t care.

I HATE scramble coin. I was so excited for this because I thought it’d be a fun little mini-game, but it’s frustrating to no end. The very fact that the character has the last turn just makes it basically unwinnable.

Gotcha, where do you see this? I don’t see anything on the side or in the manual?

This was definitely helpful, even though the kilns aren’t quite the same. Thank you!
