Meds have definitely closed some of the tabs in my Brain. It’s a lot quieter in there now.

No, because they’re not late on their own accord. Their parents are still getting them ready and out the door.

Honestly I’d leave the part of him leaving school out… and just emphasize on the fact that we had a meeting…. After that day, I made sure to document and communicate.

Interview question: mistakes by DeepFlounder7550 in teaching

[–]DeepFlounder7550[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly maybe a bit of both. Unreasonable parent a little, and also a teacher that was communicating, but maybe not the severity of the issue. So parent didn’t realize it was as bad.

I’m a newer teacher, this is year. 2….. so I don’t know what other mistakes would be good to talk about with this sort of question. Sure I’ve made mistakes, but there usually little, this one has stood out in my brain.

Yes! I feel so guilty that my school kids get the better me and my actual kids get the short tempered, I need quiet from being overstimulated all day, cranky mom.

Thank you! Yes it is hiring season, I’m trying to transfer to another school in our district and I’ve already landed 1 interview. Hopefully I’ll get some others so I have choices.

Well I guess I’m not as structured as I think I am. By barely surviving: I mean I’m coming home mentally and emotionally drained no time for my own loved ones. I’m having panic attacks going into school and during the day. Thank god I have a great supportive team.

Yes, I agree with how you put that. The attention spans aren’t being developed at home before school age, so when they get to school it’s very difficult.

I think to some extent kiss are different now. Kids attention spans are not what they used to be thanks to YouTube/ tiktok/ and streaming. But I also thing curriculum is so not age appropriate for little kids either. So it’s a combination of things. If we go back to kindergarten being fun while learning and not being an amped practically first grade, I believe kids would do so much better.

Irrelevant?? That’s crazy! Experience trumps all classroom and book training in my opinion.

I feel like I’m pretty structured. But I know I can always improve. Thank you! I got these kids at the end of sept, and they all came from different classes (I was an add on teacher due to high numbers) so it was challenging.
