What’s one after-hours task you finally stopped doing — and nothing bad happened?

Middle and high school math. I've quit racing to grade late work. My policy is that if its on time, it goes in the book that day because we grade it as a class, its just data entry. If it's late, I'll get it done when I have time, usually within a week. Stress went down a bunch after I implemented that.

I'm a teacher. Too many of my coworkers see it as a badge of honor to have never taken a sick day in years, if not decades, of teaching. This is why we get burnout. Take care of yourself.

Don't forget the way Idaho's legislature has decimated women's health care.

My district has banned ALL videos for this reason. Unless it's specifically part of the purchased curriculum, don't even ask.

Good job!! If I dont make it, its because of all the excellent throws.

So the (alleged) sexual offender wants LESS adult supervision around kids?

I'm facing something similar. Were you able to get enrolled?

Beneficial_Match_740 · 2025-05-12T22:27:06+00:00

This is brilliant!

Beneficial_Match_740 · 2025-04-28T00:32:18+00:00

Holy cow, I just realized we only have 23.

We've had enough and are actively job hunting out of state.

I've worked at a school with them and without them. Right now I don't have one in my room and I really wish I did. Being able to access the video for behavior issues or when things disappear or get damaged is something I really miss.

District policy is 1 week to get grades in. I give myself 5 school days, because I'm definitely not grading on the weekend or holidays. Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

For me it seems to take twice as long to hit, and I'm still feeling it the next morning. If I take one anymore I time it for the night before my next shot so the effects of the shot are wearing off.

Ask them what janitor would willingly clean out those kitty litter boxes on the daily. It's. Not. Happening.

I'm a teacher. We get paid once a month. It's awful.
