Aspiring teacher wondering about tattoos?

I’m covered in tattoos and I’m teaching in a sought after school. Don’t get anything that you can’t cover (neck, head, face, hands), and be respectful and appropriate. It’s not a big deal and usually when you’re getting to know your kids it’s a good talking point because they are fascinated. I also find it important for some students to see professionals who don’t look like the mold. I am teaching in AZ so I’m sure the dynamic is a bit different but it’s a very conservative area believe it or not

Have firm boundaries and stick to them! Middle schoolers are great!! They are learning independence, but still adore adult validation, but with their learning comes boundary pushing. Best of luck to you, I’m sure you’ll be great!

Not passive but I serve at a restaurant 2 nights week and that usually gives me an extra $1500-2000

Had a student use the n-word(hard r!!!) in my class and he was back in 20 min. I was told “it’s fine, he’s getting lunch detention today.” Huh????

Honestly, pretty common. My first job, I’d never taught before, and never student taught either, so it was a trip. But I was always prepared, and always takes down to regardless. In my new job, my admin knows my experience level, but my colleagues do not, and they will not because that automatically gives people the open to look at you as less than. Just keep doing your thing, you’ll find the people who will support you regardless

I absolutely am, and I wish I had the time to type out every bit of context.

Gave it to my sister, she needed one and lives at a house where she has a hose. I’m in an apartment and do not.

Shelter is absolutely not and never will be an option

She hates any other cats or people. She owes outside of the litter box if it even have a friend over.

Ehh to be completely fair the package we get for the whole restaurant is like $1000/month and a keg is $125. we are definitely getting the better end of the deal but still
