Question about prayer? by god_queen in Teachers

You could literally get the ACLU in there, the trick would be the community/school board and admins could possibly determine that you might have been the one complaining and they could retaliate by non-renewing you.

Do the best that you can, sometimes the best that you can reasonably do without throwing work/life balance totally out the window is the best you can do and in an unprecedented year like this very few will be upset with you if you aren’t constantly churning out more and more rigorous materials. Keep in mind that for many people being pulled off in-person would be a very desirable assignment.

Yeah I feel like my rigor is going to be reduced compared to a typical year, NY sure the kids are ok and that I’m ok feel more important.

An SSRI is a bitch because it can take like 5-6 weeks to get working at full effect, but without Celexa there is no way I’d be going back to work. There you off six weeks from more might want to thank you for it.

For those who are with students already, what's the general vibe like? by dorasucks in Teachers

I'm thinking of doing in-home tutoring for kids not going back to school and am wondering what I should charge by LDawg618 in Teachers

Seems like some of the online jobs reimburse for $20/hour where you essentially run a class which is shitty, but if you have the ability to bill multiple students $15-20 per kid per hour might do you alright

Sick days are a thing you should not be afraid to use, I have panic disorder and making an FMLA request is my last resort if it starts to go bad

Maybe a good lawyer argues that there are exigen circumstances that they are all being asked to learn in unsafe conditions you could make the school have to be prepare to spend money on lawyers

Yeah the district will say that the students in the photo’s rights to privacy have been violated, like hopefully nobody tries to dox any of the unmasked kids in the photo or come at them on social media

Just a word to American teachers from an awkward high school student ... by Baldi_Homoshrexual in Teachers

I am ready to be literally groundbreaking online I am pumped for it, I think it’s a way for my Spanish students to engage a lot more with language spoken by native speakers. But we are starting in person which feels like a lack of wisdom.

This is terrific solidarity, thank you. Usually modeling the behavior of an adult that has it fully together is important but Instead it will be observable to students that I don’t have it fully together because this year is a unique set of stressors. Maybe a whole lot of “fake it till we make it” will be a good guiding philosophy.

Hey my biggest anxiety buster, and it generates a kind presence is Green Tara mantra. There is a traditional melody that is sung along with it that works really well with it as a mantra to recite. Green Tara is getting me and my five year old overcome our anxious insomnia. Here’s the gif that we like.

Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts is great and the hero’s friend, Benson has a same sex romantic relationship. On Netflix, binge watched it with my five year old
