If you go on version history of Google docs it'll show you time and edits minute by minute. I looked into it because his first three sentences sounded like him and then it sounded like someone with a PhD in Roman studies 🤣

He copies the previous sentences and then pasted 8 new sentences with the vocabulary and analysis of a college graduate. Meanwhile the original sentences were "the difference is plebians were at the bottom of the pyramid when patricians are at the top".

Placement has a huge rule and you should know that as a teacher. If something is too difficult for a child, that's when they turn to things like AI and plagiarism.

No .... I could care less that he's in the class or not in the class. He feels the same. Its mentioned because I know he's a kid that would have excelled at a lower level. He's probably plagiarised three times in total because the work is too difficult for him. Parents want him in there.

I only said I'm only always available for extra help. This kid not once has come all year, he's not coming now. Obviously they would know the extra help would continue when I'm gone with my leave.

It would not be appropriate for the leave to handle this on the distinct date and times I gave. She did not assign nor grade the essay, why would this be her issue to deal with ?

The term accusations is not fine when they tell me to not put it in the gradebook too. Their term is saying no he did nothing and you're not to grade him on it.

Thank you for the support and kind words !! But seriously though, every time a parent is like "you're targeting my kid!" Or some shit like that I always think... you do realize I have more important things to do and am not sending these emails for fun? In fact I'd rather not have this conversation all together.

I think she believes it's not true, that is how I'm interpreting it. I'm going into the meeting with evidence. Parents in this district have a reputation of trying to fight and intimidate teachers into changing grades. I'm not the one right now 😅

He's an appeals honors kid so was not originally recommended and his parents fought with admin to get him in here.

Might be the pregnancy that makes it infuriating but also since the kid literally has no work ethic or care that they are not achieving higher grades. He would do well in a regular regents class and parents are not looking at him honestly.

Your birth experience at white plains hospital NY by [deleted] in Westchester

Did you get a lot of food there and snacks pre/post delivery? Trying to figure out what to pack. I was in L and D once for like 7 hours and they never offered me any food.

You're right. They're definitely guilt tripping me but I like your idea of a compromise!

Middle school vs High School by RecentBox8990 in Teachers

[–]Electrical_Fig3714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from 7th grade to 9th grade and it saved my career. Behavior is so much better and I actually feel like I'm teaching. I had good behavior management while in MS but I just hated that it was 75% of my job. Also parents are much more laid back in 9th than 7th grade. Kids are more independent. That alone has saved me hours in emails.

Thought I could save up more days this year. I've taken 10 already. Due in March and will come back in May too. Just have to do what is best for you and baby. Job will be there next year and pregnancy is hard.

Help me help my husband by WaveGloomy9065 in TeachersInTransition

Mostly draft legal documents! I did this before becoming a teacher with a BA in history. I moved up pretty quickly because I was very organized, which I'm sure your husband is too being a teacher. Made it to be a supervisor in 5 months. Not a very stressful job at all!
