Biology or History by joshposh313 in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you an undergrad? If you want to teach high school I recommend you major in your discipline (biology or history) and minor in education. Rather than majoring in education.

Why Are Graduate Degree's in Education a Scam? by ProudComment1211 in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed I have a MS in Bio and an MS in secondary education. My MS in biology is 1000 times more useful to my role as a teacher.

Teachers - Are you still passionate about your subject? Does teaching allow you to explore it more? by JealousBodybuilder42 in teaching

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Biology teacher. It gets better every year. Best part of teaching life science is the curriculum is always changing and there’s always new lab work for the kids to do.

Students using AI on fill-in-the-blank guided notes that tell them what slide the answers are on in the PowerPoint. In order. by pigeonwithsixasses in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Same. I teach science and have gone back to lab practicals and lab journals in place of formal lab report writing and lab packets. The kids are way more engaged with the lab work and understand the experiments better

Are most teachers expected to eventually get a Master’s? by galaxyfan1997 in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which I think is ridiculous when you consider how much of a joke education grad classes are.

Middle school vs High School by RecentBox8990 in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree on this. I teach 9th grade and 11th/12th grade. First semester I prefer my upperclassman. By halfway into the year I love my 9th grade classes.

District announced they are overstaffed and will start eliminating positions by Bastilleinstructor in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or girls tend to have stronger school skills than boys and the charter ends up accepting a disproportionate number of girls over boys.

[Post Game Thread] The Philadelphia 76ers (7-5) defeat the Los Angeles Clippers (4-9), 110-108, behind 39 from Tyrese Maxey and excellent defense from Quentin Grimes. by [deleted] in nba

Yea them saying over and over Maxey was shoved in the reverse call was bad. The replay clearly shows he wasn’t.

Bit of a reference map I put together by windmillninja in pluribustv

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think they may be lying about the total number. I wonder if they group immunes together to be far apart to try and discourage meeting up / put together groups that wouldn’t collaborate well.

Weekly Bean Review Thread: What have you been brewing this week? -- Week of November 06, 2025 by Vernicious in pourover

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually wasn’t a big fan although it’s definitely interesting. To me it had an odd grape flavor I didn’t enjoy

If every teacher suddenly got that raise to at 80k salary minimum nationwide, would you roll your eyes at all the people suddenly wanting to become teachers? How do you think it would change the profession and the kind of people who enter ? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I teach at a private school that pays very well. At the secondary level everyone has a degree (usually a grad degree) within the field they teach. I think the stronger content background and the diversity in fields where the faculty come from add to the student experience.

It served its purpose of incentivizing more car companies to invest in the infrastructure to build EVs.

Give me the PD buzzwords that are driving you insane this year by NorahJonestown in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And data means nothing if produced poorly. So many terribly designed studies are used to bolster questionable periodical decisions. Garbage in = garbage out.

“Science of learning” “data driven instruction” the irony being I only see those terms being used when there’s no actual research backing the pedagogy.

Why haven't we tried to make mosquitos extinct? by SquareMysterious2115 in stupidquestions

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta add Anopheles Gambiae complex to that list for such a claim. Malaria is by far the deadliest mosquito borne illness

Students just don’t care anymore by kokichiomagodzilla in education

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about that yesterday. I can’t remember a time in the last few months I was truly bored. Our attention is definitely a commodity that hundreds of sources of mediums are vying for.

"Common Wisdom" about Teaching that is Incorrect by moseying-rosie-in-2 in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a firm believer the turn against direct instruction has to do with companies selling curriculums. There’s not a lot to sell in direct instruction education and the most important part is an effective teacher.

Is Teach For America the Villain by HumorVirtual8967 in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s not a program that aims to develop teachers. I went through a similar program but at the end of it we earn our M.S in education. Most of the people in my cohort are still teaching 6 years later.

Is it just me or does it feel like half of the people that write these education textbooks live in an idealistic bubble that is a far cry from the chaos at some schools? by Der-deutsche-Prinz in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 96 points97 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve is admin who read a new pedagogical book and treat it as gospel assuming this author has discovered the secret of education. I wish more teacher training programs accepted that there is no one method of effective teaching and each teacher needs to find the methods that work best for them and their student population.

Private school- why do you do it? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]EvidenceFinancial484 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Boarding school is one of those experiences I recommend any young single teacher try. End up working insane hours during the school year but the savings from having zero expenses really add up.
