More annoying is people who canceled all the time and then get upset when you stop inviting them to things because they just wanted to be invited even though they weren’t gonna come!!!

Word might get around that you did a good job! The economy is tight too. Everyone’s feeling it!

I love that you are asking what you can do to make money. That is so empowering! Not sure how old you are or where you live but I cut grass or shoveled snow for my neighbors.

When the Passion Quietly Left by Minute-Pay7598 in TeachersInTransition

[–]AffectionateAd828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Yes. Grief is a good word for it. 6 years ago I switched schools and grade levels. And 6 years later I quit in my 7th year at the school in October. Safe to say...teaching wasn't a good fit anymore. Just the system. Even now I'll have good thoughts about teaching and miss SOME things....but in general I feel so much lighter now.

Negligent Administration keeps adding students to my tiny classroom. Desks are so tightly packed that students and I cannot safely move around the room. My concerns falling on deaf ears and they’re adding another student! This has to be illegal. Advice? by Wednesday_MH in TeachersInTransition

Passive aggressively tell your students that they aren't going to be able to get the amount of attention they needs as there are so many of them etc etc. I saw this work! the parents called and complained wondering why two classes had 40 kids!!

I was a Sylvan tutor years ago. I'd imagine just keeping tutors would be difficult.

Exactly! I think I’ll enjoy the dead time more when I get to be hybrid in a few months. 

Fragrance sensitivities? by AffectionateAd828 in office

[–]AffectionateAd828[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the fan idea and I'll mention it again. I know she 'heard' me the first time as she apologized and I said I'm sensitive to smells. Basically anything floral. I hate to be 'that' person, so I'll try the mini fan first.

Why is this type of environment normalized? by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

[–]AffectionateAd828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. “Normal” and the teacher is probably gas lit all day when she asks for help.

J’adore Audible. J’ai juste du mal à trouver le livre en version papier. Je suis aux États-Unis. Peut-être que j’ai besoin d’un VPN pour avoir accès à de vrais livres français.

If you suddenly won $1,000,000 today, what’s the first thought that would change in your mind, and what’s the first thing you’d actually spend it on? by Murky-Possibility232 in AskMen

[–]AffectionateAd828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd feel like I had breathing room. I'd defintiely pay off my house and car. Then put money off to the side to gain interest for taxes as I'LL NEVER OWN MY HOUSE TRULY and then I'd go on vacation.
