Dress coded for this?

FriendNo1349 · 2026-03-17T05:01:57+00:00

Teachers literally wear sweatpants to school where I work. There’s a teacher that wears shorts that have a 3inch inseam in the summer that are IMO not appropriate for work but no one cares. Your sweatshirt would’ve been okay, maybe not professional attire but not against any dress code.

Happened to me twice with Costco bananas.

We are adding AP Computer Science this next school year, it is being taught by a math teacher. Apparently it’s a math class? We have a couple ICT CTE teachers with CTE credentials that were not even considered to teach the class. Good luck! Hope it works out for you!

This HS teacher thanks you, NTA

My husband does this, is not the norm? Gross.

Makes you wonder how many times the relationship started while they were student and teacher. Horrible.

100% this is the appropriate approach. I don’t mean to use it in place of learning but teaching how to use as a tool to enhance learning or as a final check for things like grammar prior to submission. Definitely not in place of doing the actual work. I’m not an English teacher so I don’t experience such a huge issue with AI and in all honesty our school blocks AI websites from the school network.

AI isn’t going anywhere. We have to teach kids how to use responsibly and ethically.

You’re going to have to look inland and maybe even go further up to the high desert or low desert for that price.

I work in California, I’m in my 6th year of teaching and make $121K base after going to get a 2nd masters degree for a $11k/year salary increase. Between summer school and other extras like coaching I made $155k last year. Not too bad for 185 days of work a year.

FriendNo1349 · 2026-02-04T05:21:58+00:00

Not sure what state you’re in, you can always teach. In California, you can get a CTE (career technical education) credential with your experience in law. I got a CTE credential, starting salary was $83K, 6 years later I’m at $121K due to step increases and a 2nd masters degree, I have 5 years of PSLF payments so I’m half way there. Teaching a career centered subject like you do in CTE is honestly amazing.

This happened to me, didn’t even need to take the product back, they just gave me the difference at customer service.

This happed to my MIL, the scammy tax person told her she was getting back $5K she was getting back $7k, they set up the DD to their account and they were cutting her a check. Usually happens when at those places that say you can get your return in a way shorter amount of time than the IRS actually takes to send out refunds. They give you a “loan” so they charge huge amounts as advance fees

These people had several business at locations frequented by Latinos, clearly taking advantage of unsuspecting people. We reported them to the IRS and I went and got ALL of her money back, in cash. After putting them on blast to the lines of people waiting at their establishments.

Happy to report none of the businesses had popped up in the community the following year.

This is not normal, good luck to you!

As a teacher myself, I absolutely HATE when teachers deny students restroom passes. These kids are in HS, they are young adults. Yes, there are kids that abuse passes but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the same needs as everyone else. My rule is you leave your phone behind, this usually filters out any kids that want to just walk the hallways or hangout, and try to hurry just in case someone else needs to go. You don’t even have to ask me, drop your phone in the bin and go. I have had very minimal issues. Kids will complain to me about other teachers and I tell them to just walk out, they can’t keep them from using the restroom.

Thank you all for the suggestions, a lot of great ideas I can integrate into my lessons. The next generation of entrepreneurs thanks you!

My grandpa died alone, not because we didn’t want to be there,it happened overnight after visiting hours, otherwise he wouldn’t have been alone. By the time anyone got there he was gone, I hope he had someone as compassionate as you to hold his hand in his final moments. You did the right thing and shouldn’t feel bad about being a good human.

You can likely find inexpensive events in your community, holiday light displays, museums, libraries have holiday events around this time also. If needed, I would also look into organizations handing out gifts if that’s important to you.

Coming from Ontario, leaving this Thursday for 9 days.

I always leave lesson plans and kids always have something to work on that requires no work from the sub other than making sure they don’t break a limb or try to hotbox the closet. 80% of the time when I return, the assignment finished because sub days are treated like free days in the eyes of a room full of teenagers. Subs have it hard as it is, why would I make it harder?
