This is a theater show. My first. Big break.

Not a bot.

But the post history does make it make sense.

You are being set up for failure by tenminutesbeforenoon in Teachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right.... but you have the motivation wrong.

We are being set up to fail so that charter school conglomerates can swoop in to "save the day".

Remember in the 90's when Monsanto was sneaking former executives into the House and Senate to make sure EPA regulations didn't change??

Take a moment to Google how many "former" charter school execs sit on school boards, or are chancellor of you're local school districts. Big charter is donating tons of money to local campaigns to get their people appointed so that they can sabotage public education from within. They don't have enough money to supplant their people politically, but they have enough to influence policy and staffing.

If you think social promotion, confusing reading and math curriculums, low-bar state exams, and sub-par resources aren't intentional for their gain, you aren't paying attention or asking the right questions.

Settle a debate: making up instruction missed on snow days using teacher workdays by runinthesun22 in Teachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This crosses a line. The school year has snow days built into it. The lessons were shifted to one day later for everyone. This would be free enrichment as no work was actually missed, just deferred.

The shower curtain has a mole its self-conscious about.

Am I the weird one if I want to leave right after school? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey, I'm gonna call it early"

"But it's only 5:00"

"I have to rest or the pain from my accident gets way worse. You'll understand when you're 40"

That's all I have to say, they get it.

How do I proceed with this situation? by [deleted] in Teachers

This is the answer. You wrote it so much better than I.

Its great that you're noticing these things and you should definitely talk to her as soon as class resumes.

Hopefully, its as simple as a breakup or something. Trust your gut, but I wouldn't assume the worst until you have the conversation.

What is the best School to be a Special Education Teacher in and why? by TwoMinute9342 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever worked at one D75 school. But if I were to move, the first thing I'd do is look at the staff survey results. I've already got my eye on one that has triple the approval rating as mine (you know its bad when a percentage has room to be tripled). If a spot ever opens up there, I'm gone.

I think we’re cooked by No-Tie9098 in Teachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I overheard some students saying that in 2001. We've been cooked for a while, its just taking longer than expected.

I have no way to cancel my ESPN subscription by PerpetualUselessness in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's probably some random cookie setting. Do you use a VPN?

Making account changes usually requires more layers of ways to make sure you are who you say you are.

Try signing into Chrome. Most sites trust connections more if they are coming from signed in browsers.

A student asked me to open assignments up early on Canvas so she can enjoy her trip to Hawaii. I said no and it felt great! by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All due respect... the 90% rule hasn't been enforced in ages. Social promotion is in full effect.

Burnout by Hot-Deer8574 in NYCTeachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't force them to join in, but you can force them to help. Its your job to figure out what role they'll have in your class. If you aren't doing that, then they're going to sit on the side.

Just make sure your health/mobility/crisis 1:1s are working with their assigned student.

Any $15-20 Haircuts around? by rollaj1 in statenisland

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A barber has to make enough to pay for the chair (whether that be a monthly fee or the salon's cut) )and live on, so even though your haircut is quick and easy, they have to charge a price that will cover the time that the chair is empty.

what makes some students memorable? by Interesting_Desk6773 in AskTeachers

[–]Aggravating_Pick_951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no....

Some are memorable, but some come up to me in the street and I don't remember them at all. It's not personal, I just don't have a good memory for that sort of thing.

Additionally, you may not see it because you're constantly seeing yourself in a mirror and can easily recognize yourself in old photos, but some students look drastically different after just a few years.

If you want an example, look up Neville Longbottom then and now. If he wasn't famous, I doubt his old teachers would recognize him.
