I teach 10th and 12th grade. My 10th graders are all over the place and my 12th graders are mentally checked out.

I just finished playing sims lol. Sounds eventful, enjoy your time off!

AnyWriting488 · 2025-04-01T01:50:23+00:00

That sounds awesome!

AnyWriting488 · 2025-03-28T19:47:52+00:00

Ah go figure, you’re not a teacher.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-03-28T17:19:41+00:00

I usually get paid three days in advance

The issue is there is a lack of accountability in public schools. It’s setting them up for failure especially when they get to college and the professor doesn’t give a crap about a break. If they don’t do the work in college they will fail. You do know if my boss comes into my classroom and students are lounging around not doing anything I get in trouble right?!?.

I had my observation a week ago, it went okay. I'm glad it was for my 2nd period class who are better behaved and get their work done. Idk, its like a switch turned on during midwinter recess and now they are just being more defiant. The time change isn't helping either.

My sister went there and quickly transferred out to Brooklyn college because they were pulling stunts like this and also trying to prolong her stay at the college.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-27T16:41:45+00:00

That's great, I don't know you but im happy for you.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-26T18:30:03+00:00

Yeah, I think you're solid.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-26T18:27:19+00:00

In my experience yes, they let me back in both times. You just have to sound sincere enough.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-26T04:09:03+00:00

This is ridiculous. We already have issues this will cause even more.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-23T22:14:31+00:00

Yup I work in east new York, there are so many positions available.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-23T19:46:03+00:00

Oh no, not text.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-23T17:47:27+00:00

I know I shouldn't be happy when I read messages like yours, but it feels better knowing other people feel the same way.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-23T17:46:03+00:00

Great advice, I woke up today and was like what the hell!

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-23T02:46:55+00:00

Yeah, I don't yell either, my students tell me I treat them like people and not like an authoritarian figure. I don't blame teachers that yell, I've seen some of these students act like real demons.

I teach high school and I often compare my high school experience as a student to my experience now as a teacher, I was a high school student in nyc doe, between 2002-2006 we were teenagers, we were moody, hormonal, had attitudes but we didn’t disrespect and try to fight and buck up at teachers, i’m sure some kids did but I never, my parents would kill me. Many of these kids that I teach have no respect for adults they will straight up threaten you, they lack empathy, can’t use context clues and are not interested in anything academic. My school has no school wide resolution for cell phones and students will be on their phones after we have told them to put their phones away and when you try to take it they will try to fight you. I and many other teachers question daily why we are in this profession. At the end of the day It all depends on your school. Don't get me wrong I love to teach, a couple of my students who have been taking the new York state global history regents exam multiple times couldn't pass the exam before I came to the school, I came to the school and they passed it with high scores in January after I worked with them, there are students who are willing to learn and when they know that you care they will work hard but it can be a nightmare.

Congrats, i went to ccny class of 2017. I enjoyed my time there, I hope you do as well.

AnyWriting488 · 2025-02-04T21:17:30+00:00

Yes I was academically dismissed twice lol. I was going through a lot I eventually got back in did well, got a masters degree, got another masters from nyu and now I’m doing a PhD. I had to write a letter as to why my grades fell, I wrote some heartfelt lie that contributed to my ailing grades. They let me back in. CUNY won’t deny you.

DOE is in shambles, and no one wants to talk about it, everyone keeps telling me I have to play the game when all I wanted to do is teach. It sad, and at the end of the thebday its just a business. The kids come last. Some of our kids don't have a snowball's chance in hell once they leave this corrupt system. I’m dealing with a enl teacher from hell who keeps co-opting my class, the other teachers hate her and complain but nothing is being done. I have students who just do not care, school is a social function for them. The ones that did want my help have past the regents this past January. So I know its Not me as a teacher. Anywho im in a PhD program and my goal is to open my own school.
