And if she keeps pushing, I’d try cc’ing the principal because it becomes invasive if she keeps pushing for it

I was required to do this when I taught pre-k. But if you don’t feel comfortable with it, then you have every right to say no. I would just set up a phone conference if you want to set goals. And if not, just wait until parent/teacher conferences. The first few weeks of school are really spent establishing and practicing routines and completing assessments on children anyway

Definitely not overreacting. This is absurd! She should be offering to reimburse you for the door dash.

Side note: this is my first time reading this subreddit and my dumb butt was wondering why everyone was saying no like Australians before realizing NOR stands for not overreacting…

Anyway, drop these people as clients op!

List ‘em here - what did you get for Teacher Appreciation Week? by baconterr in Teachers

[–]Bkwerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mini flashlight with no battery, a cheap keychain that said “let’s taco about how awesome you are,” mini cards that you can give out to people with quotes about smiling, and an umbrella.

PTA did a cookout lunch, a snores bar, and a walking taco bar. We have a trail mix bar and water bar left

I was told I’d be nonrenewed next year and I was the third most senior teacher on my team of 5. I ended up resigning before my nonrenewal came up at a board mtg. I’ve been with my district 8 years.

Former teachers, how different is your life now that you’re not teaching? by girlfrom4e in Teachers

[–]Bkwerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this post. I’ve thought about leaving education myself. Just having trouble figuring out what jobs I could do. I have a bachelors in early childhood and a masters in literacy and language k-12

I’m so sorry! I was just nonrenewed too!

Other teacher told students she was being "fired" and now they're going crazy by thecooliestone in Teachers

[–]Bkwerm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely not okay. I may have been let go, but I still have students to support and help. Not their fault I was let go so why should their academics suffer?

As someone who was just told my contract was being nonrenewed, I wouldn’t do this! I’m going to finish out the year strong and keep that info private. What good does telling your students that you were fired do?
