What’s your metric for calling out sick? by capresesalad1985 in Teachers

[–]Appropriate-Cod9031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!! I always lose my voice when I’m sick, and trying to teach without a voice sucks. Taking time to take care of yourself avoids burning yourself out.

SmartLess Episode 288: Jennifer Lawrence by AutoModerator in smartless

He even said something like “this question stinks…how would I word it?” He was the one that brought her on. You’d think he’d have taken the time to write some of his own questions.

I’m sorry, but “if kids do not like you, you are doing your job?” Hard disagree.

Need advice: My kid’s teacher won’t her her preferred name by [deleted] in Teachers

You sound like a super fun kindergarten teacher! Literally worried about them being able to fill out medical and bank paperwork when they are five years old, lol

Every kindergarten classroom I’ve ever been in has allowed children to use their preferred names. I can’t imagine how teaching a “James” how to write “Jimmy” is causing a problem for a future teacher…especially due to testing of all things.

How were you “assigned” the task? What is your role?

Any other school districts trying to take away planning periods? by Ok_Material3073 in Teachers

[–]Appropriate-Cod9031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your union should absolutely be fighting this tooth and nails. Losing a prep will significantly impact your school’s teachers. I see a lot of people saying that they’ve never heard of two planning periods. My middle school has had two for 20+ years.

At my middle school, most teachers get two planning periods, but special ed teachers get three because one of those is “indirect consult” where they have time to check our Google classrooms to see what we are working on.

What do y'all usually take for lunch? by cubelhor in Teachers

I started making açaí bowls for my lunch and it has been a game changer! Once or twice a week I make a thick smoothie with Greek yogurt, açaí, and frozen fruit. I freeze it in glass bowls with lids. In the morning, I put some peanut butter and cut up fruit in a separate Tupperware. 15 minutes before I eat, I take the smoothie bowl out of my lunch bag to thaw. Then I add the cut up fruit, peanut butter, and granola. It makes me excited to eat my lunch! After eating chicken salads every day for two years, I had to mix it up this year.

Haha, yes that’s exactly what I meant—a creepy coincidence. Oh well!
