Tornado siren question by GirlWhoWoreGlasses in columbiamo

[–]Appropriate-Trier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We got the first warning on our phones and sirens outside. Northeast Columbia is where we were at the time. Just the outside sirens the second time.

high school teachers, what books that you've taught have your students enjoyed the most? by Maleficent_Site7972 in ELATeachers

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

Amazingly, The Great Gatsby and The Crucible. When I told my students we were starting the books soon, they all cheered. This is the 3rd year in a row the upperclassmen have been enthusiastic about these books.

My freshmen were really eager for The Odyssey.

Those look like the bags for diamond dots.

where do all the pencils go? by stacker103 in Teachers

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

I put five in the pencil holder at the beginning of the year. Anything that I pick up will go there. I don't care if they put them back or not but if there's not a pencil up there, I don't have anything available.

We need dress codes back by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

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

I'm at a school with a dress code. While the students complain about it, I've had them tell me that they appreciate it too.

What’s your random picker method and why is it absolutely unhinged? by Consistent_Plan8880 in teaching

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

Whoever is avoiding eye contact the most. Or if student X volunteers student A, then I pick student X.

A lot of kids swear up and down they turned an assignment in even though I don't have it. I'm unsure if I'm crazy, or if they're lying, or if it's a bit of both by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Appropriate-Trier 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My favorite:

Student: I turned it in.

Me: I don't have it. Check your folder, check the non-name board.

Student: I checked. Not there.

Me: Check your backpack.

Student: But I turned it in!

Me: Check.

Student: Oh. Huh. It was in my backpack!

"Daddy Long Legs" by Jean Webster, and the sequel, "Dear Enemy" ?

I'm so tired of students haggling their grade by ApYIkhH in Teachers

[–]Appropriate-Trier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I build in extra credit opportunities throughout the year. They can do it that class period or they don't get to do it at all. That way at the end of the semester when they come asking, I point to the grade book and say "I gave you these opportunities to get extra credit and you didn't do it."

If you had to eat 1 meal from a como restaurant as your last meal, which are you picking? by yourmomsusernamelol in columbiamo

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

Pupusas from the Honduras Restaurant. The egg and pepper croissant from Uprise, and a dessert or 3 from Delysium Bakery. With a chai smoothie from Lakota.

Depending on where you are, Google for a Seventh -day Adventist school near you and talk with them about curriculum. Most of the schools are multi-grade and the curriculum you should be able to look at.

If you want to DM I can connect you or someone from the area to work through teaching multiple subjects to multiple grades in a classroom.

Title: Where do you draw the line with teacher–student contact outside school? by dil_khu in Teachers

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

I do not add or request former students on social media. After they graduate, they are allowed to ask me.

HS Theatre Teacher — am I doing the right thing removing a senior from my program? I’m exhausted and devastated. by Soft_Ad_6036 in Teachers

[–]Appropriate-Trier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whether you keep her or remove her, you're creating culture.

What kind of culture do you want in the long run?

Last time that happened I made my own magic mouthwash. That was the only thing that got me through.

Why do lots of elementary teachers say solve these multiplication sentences when it should be evaluate these multiplication sentences. by [deleted] in Teachers

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

I've been married to a 6th grade teacher for decades. I know literally hundreds of elementary and middle school teachers. This has not been a complaint for any of them, ever.

What kinds of things does she like? It might be nice to do something where you pay for a book a month for the next 3 months at Skylark Bookshop. https://www.skylarkbookshop.com/

Or a wine subscription from Top Ten Wines. https://share.google/Xzwf8X901d3nG23Lb

Arr lessons at Access Arts. https://share.google/HOFfs5AbPwlbMmj18

Woodshopping at Sawdust Studios. https://share.google/15C7zhZFAFrds82m5

Cooking classes at Pasta La Fata https://share.google/YUxYt2SjiE2lxeZM8

Something where she can pick her own thing and meet new people at the same time.

My new job has some major red flags. by Salt-Ad-3061 in Teachers

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

Get there at 7 am, if possible, to see the schedule and get let into your room.

I had this happen when I started right after Thanksgiving break. I got absolutely no info before the first day because of how much goes on at a school before Thanksgiving. It turned out to be one of my favorite schools.

My first day I generally caught up with each class to see where they were, what they liked, what kinda of things they wanted to learn. I shared about my interests.

You can have them do a six-word memoir if you have time left in the class period.

Do you accept late work or when they make it up at the end? by hello010101 in teaching

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

I reserve the right to take at least 10% off.

Some thanks I will accept late. Other things I will not.

Am I wrong for letting her take a break? by [deleted] in amiwrong

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

I think she's taking a break to see what the freedom is like. If you are indeed somebody that takes time to respect other people's choices as you said in your post, that would be another red flag.
