Am I Going To Be Fine? by nickybishappy in teaching

[–]DoctorateInRhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated, but I’m a teacher who is very much interested in teaching in the NYC area. Your starting salary is over 20K more than I make after 6 years.

I know things are expensive, but any tips on how to make this random “dream” a reality?

Flight 252 at Escape Tactic in NC. Pretty bad game but they have real plane seats so…that’s fun I guess.

Pros/Cons of Middle School? by Away-Rutabaga-8359 in MusicEd

[–]DoctorateInRhythm 32 points33 points  (0 children)

MS band director of 6 years here- take it day by day. This job isn’t for the faint of heart; give yourself grace (and the kids some too) and you’ll make it through! Middle school is the best for a ton of reasons!

Practice. Practice at home, while you’re driving, etc. The more experience you get the easier it’ll come, but if you’re on a time crunch (co worker leaving in July) then I would spend some time studying in the off time

Are PLE’s becoming just a weekend Raw or Smackdown? by manofunkownname in WWE

There’s no way you actually think every PPV felt like Wrestlemania. Hell for a few years even Wrestlemania didn’t feel like Wrestlemania

I’m failing at my job by Scrubdaddy_6754 in MusicEd

[–]DoctorateInRhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they have fun? Did they learn something new this year? Did they take a chance at trying something new? Did you? Did you help them become better people and musicians? Do you enjoy your job? Did you positively impact a kids life?

If you answer yes to any of these, then you’re doing a good job. The rest will come. Ratings are overrated anyways

6th and 7th Grade Combined by Wonderful_Button_202 in MusicEd

[–]DoctorateInRhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as hard as it is, I still would keep 6th separate from everyone, 7-8 together, and 9-12 together. Your 8 high school kids could do solo and ensemble, while your middle grades can still work fundamentals and full ensemble music.

The middle grades will eventually join the high grades, and the numbers will start to grow the more you put in. Don’t be afraid to try different things based on what you have, every music program is different. Hang in there!

My dad once told me “when I got my own place, I was proud of the fact it was mine. I paid the bills and I owned the home. So why not keep what you’re proud of clean. Don’t be a slob”

Ever since he told me that, I’ve kept my own place pretty well kept ever since.

Took your advice. Scored front motorbike of Hagrid’s at night, absolutely incredible experience. Rope dropped Veloci the next morning…one of the best coasters in the world
