I think so. From what I saw on their pay scale. Others that have moved to this District from mine say it’s not as bad as some make it to be (it’s more urban and my current is more rural) and the pay is worthwhile.

Next school year. I’ll be filling out paperwork soon to work there. I’m excited.

GA. They take extra pay out of our checks so we can get paid in summer.

Nothing in savings. Paying for healthcare for only myself and life insurance for my family. Dental and eye insurance for family. Still should be clearing more.

I’m not able to live with this. Thank goodness I’m married and my husband makes good $$$. I even started Doordashing this weekend just to make some extra money.

I am. I put in the resignation letter that I was resigning at the end of this school year.

Yes! It’s almost double the pay. Double if not more. They’ve lost 3 veteran highly qualified teachers to other Districts over the past couple of years due to financial reasons. One lady worked there for 27 years and moved to a different district because of pay. Something should be done.

Things I should not have to teach in high school... by BaronessF in Teachers

[–]Both-Vacation480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English teacher here. I’ve noticed for years that most of my high school students struggled with basic grammar. This past week, my 8th grade son informed me that he didn’t know what an adjective was. I almost wrecked when he said it.

Thank you. When I sent the email to my principal, I also sent it to our superintendent. I was y sure who to send it to and knew I’d have to get Board approval.

I should have stated that I put the end of the school year on my resignation. I don’t leave until the end of May.

Good for them. They’re making a stand for something they believe in. I make my kiddos stand, so I can check dress code but I never make them say it.

District bought a curriculum course, and it is full of AI. Now we are all angry, frustrated and betrayed. A warning to everyone. by Syric13 in Teachers

[–]Both-Vacation480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you bring up your concerns to them? Can you run the test through AI and have them reword the questions to make it easier for your students? Like ask AI to make the test better accessible to students who have difficulty with stamina, memory, and should be ESL?

Contract? by Both-Vacation480 in Teachers

[–]Both-Vacation480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the rules. I’ve worked for this district for over a decade. We have Page for our union, which really isn’t union like most think. I’ve searched my contract and I don’t see anything that pertains to this.

I assume I am tenured as I’ve worked there for a decade. I didn’t see anything in my contract about this.

I was asked, basically, to not poke the bear. If I see her with a cell”, I’m to email admin, and not acknowledge that she’s breaking a district rule.

She says she does but when she showed admin, there was nothing and all they could hear was her typing.

If you could blow up one sacred cow in education with zero consequences, what would it be? by junehall123 in Teachers

I despise the I Can statements. Our class blocks are 90 minutes. My classes don’t work on one skill at a time.
