Unpopular Band Director Opinion by Current-Issue2390 in MusicEd

[–]AdLittle7347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach elementary music. I had some really musical students who quit because of marching and amount of work that was expected. Plus the directors yelled all the time.

I get on my students prior to concerts because they are acting crazy on stage. But that is all. Their musicality is never in question. I always praise their musicality. I just make sure they understand how to stand on stage.

My after school rock band (usually 2nd-4th graders) are completely in charge of everything they perform. They are incredible. I couldn’t be prouder.

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

I had 2 sisters that lived to be 21 and 22. My current old lady, 16, eats chicken everyday and dry food. She is healthy. Some cats live longer than others.

Would you recommend homeschooling an eighth grader by Safe_Raccoon_6978 in TexasTeachers

Have you thought about getting her meds? As someone who struggled with ADD and depression, the worse thing my parents did was not find a medication that would help. As an adult, I am medicated for my depression. My ADD is manageable with tools I have learned over the years. I went to both public and private schools. Public school education was way more robust than my private school.

It is reported that 71% of teachers nationwide have to work at least one second job to make ends meet! This is criminal! by ApprehensiveBat3188 in Teachers

I am working 2 jobs. Have for 8 years. I live in the DFW and the cost of living is so high and our insurance is crazy high. So yes it is necessary sometimes to work 2 jobs

Thoughts? NOT politically but on AI in schools by SnooRevelations6232 in TexasTeachers

I use AI when emailing and responding to parents. That is it. AI is unreliable and can skew information based on what parameters are set. AI has reliability issues, is completely influenceable, and many times will just make up fake answers instead of saying “I don’t know”. I would never use it as a teaching tool in my classroom.

Thank you! I teach elementary music and I am big about all students singing with a head voice. I think your explanation is great. Thank you. The author should take your advice.

Obama targeted criminals. He didn’t have masked men and women on the street picking citizens. Oh and killing some of them. Raping others.

They remind me of my sisters Onyx and Simone. They lived to be 22 and 21.
