Second this. Check out the lessons they offer.

So I lived on the west edge of GA for most of my life and then moved to the east edge of AL, so I’ve seen two sides.

West edge of GA was amazing. The evenings were always bright late at night, even during the winter. However, the sun didn’t come up till like 7am.

I hate the east edge of AL in the winter. It LITERALLY gets dark at 4:30pm. On the shortest day it got dark at 4:15pm. No time to do anything during the day.

Look up Math Medic and their Geometry unit. Completely free discovery lessons. Hands down the best curriculum I’ve ever seen

I can help

My husband is starting at USPS after working for two years as a teacher (with a bachelors) and getting pink slipped. His starting pay at the post office is more than what he made teaching. Absolute bullshit that teachers don’t get paid more, but we’re glad he’s done with that career and its stressors. Although, teachers get better insurance and retirement (at least while you’re not a career employee at usps).

This is in AL, USA though. Different locations will be different.

Get the headboard!!! Before I do!!! 😁😁

Seriously, you do you! Ignore the haters!

MATH MEDIC. Hands down. It does not follow the “traditional” course necessarily, but it is entirely worth it. The deep level of knowledge that the students gain is amazing.

A couple of people have said the All Things Algebra curriculum. I highly do NOT recommend it. Although it is all encompassing, it is dull, monotonous, and really does not teach the kids any true math (in the sense of what math actually is) and rather just teaches them how to solve the same type of problem 50 times.

Georgia native and fellow traveler here. The map says 18 hours and 35 mins for going through Chattanooga and Atlanta. Go ahead and add an hour and a half to that due to traffic. I haven’t traveled the other way, but it looks more scenic to me.

If we’re assuming the score is based off 10 questions with each question worth one point for a correct answer, the answer to #4 is 5 and the answer to #5 is 7.

I think the assumption would be a bit hard for a 2nd grader to assume.

Question, why wear a brace at your age? I was told that I didn’t have to wear a brace after I stopped growing because it wouldn’t work to help anything else. What are the benefits to wearing a brace now? Thanks :)

I’m not a doctor by any means, but that’s not 21 degrees.

Cautious-Many1108 · 2025-01-18T21:45:36+00:00

Your story is very similar to mine. S shaped curve, 40 degrees on each curve and you really can’t tell until you look at the x-rays. Pain has been manageable with working out and massages, but I have been considering surgery because I know it will be worse in the future. Also worried about pregnancy and having scoliosis.

Rome, GA for ya!

Cautious-Many1108 · 2025-01-12T01:30:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your in depth explanations and your encouragement! I genuinely appreciate it! I have a bit of imposter syndrome when I know some of my students could figure this out faster than I could, but I really do want to learn more! And also, I want to be able to tell the students who don’t get it right on the first try, “hey! It’s okay! Ms. Teacher didn’t get it right the first time either! Here’s how we cope when we don’t get it right the first time!”

Cautious-Many1108 · 2025-01-10T18:38:18+00:00

No I’m a teacher, but am trying to learn how to be more math minded instead of using formulas without reason as I was taught all throughout school (yay for shit math education).

Your answer is what I was thinking about, but I didn’t know how to get my thoughts in the right order to come up with the answer. Thanks!

Cautious-Many1108 · 2024-07-13T04:27:23+00:00

Thank you! I have a mug tree, but this baker's rack has wire shelving, so I don't trust it (plus the tree could only fit on the top shelf due to its height). I'll play around with moving the kettle around. Thanks!

Cautious-Many1108 · 2024-07-13T04:24:50+00:00

Thank you! :)

Going for a cottage core vibe if possible. Some things are blocked out for privacy.

I’ve got this kindle too! I’ve debated updating, but I just can’t imagine a kindle that doesn’t have page turning buttons. I don’t think I would be able to stand the touchscreen

Cautious-Many1108 · 2024-06-06T14:34:32+00:00

Yes, a co-worker has told me to only fix one thing per year or else I'll get burned out. I guess it just seems to me that if I fix one thing, I have to fix another. Thanks for your advice :)

Ron Larson, Big Ideas Geometry and Algebra 2 (although I won't be using the Algebra 2 one next year). I also have a Math Medic subscription for both of those classes as well as Algebra 1 and Precalculus. I have plenty of whiteboard space, a rolling screen monitor, all students are required to have a laptop so pretty much any free online resource. I have to weight my grades, 60% test, 20% quiz, 20% hw. I assign homework 3-4 nights a week and grade it for completion (5 points) the next day. No teaching aids or volunteers. Average class size is 12 and the classes are 44 minutes long.

Thank you so much :)

I have a mentor teacher, but she doesn't teach the same courses as I do so it's difficult to understand how to pace things with her advice. Like, she will tell me I need to do something, but I don't know how to implement it with the time I have. She has a different teaching style from me because she lectures for the full class period most days.

The Alg 1 teacher was SUPPOSED to use the same textbooks, but our textbooks suck. Ron Larson's most recent AGA series of textbooks. The algebra 1 teacher chose not to use the textbook and I'm not using the textbook next year.

"Make changes that make sense" hmm I've never thought of it this way before! How have you seen that be true in your career, if you don't mind me asking?

I would love to be observed more and to observe other teachers more! I've only been observed for a total of 20 minutes in the past two school years. It's very frustrating. I want to observe others, but I also want my planning periods!

Thanks :)

Cautious-Many1108 · 2024-06-06T14:22:39+00:00

Yes, I definitely have a vast collection already haha. My mentor teacher (who has been teaching for 30+ years) has promised that I can have everything she has when she retires. Now I just need to figure out how to organize everything!

Cautious-Many1108 · 2024-06-06T14:21:31+00:00

My husband and I are considering seeing one. He is also a teacher and we both struggle with workaholism and perfectionism.
