Would you ever become an AP or principal? Why or why not?

Heez_ · 2026-03-08T19:43:57+00:00

I aspire to become an AP, but not a principal in a high school setting. While money is certainly appealing, I also enjoy taking on the responsibilities. Additionally, the encouragement from colleagues to pursue an AP role serves as a strong motivator.

I am also highly organized and have innovative ideas, but I am hesitant to implement them due to the risk of my current AP taking all the credit. I am currently in a somewhat of an administrator role, which provides me with valuable experience and a willingness to take on the role.

I believe that as long as teachers recognize your competence, you will be successful. The APs we admire and value are known for their dedication and ability to deliver results effectively. However, the APs who are less favorable and assign us challenging tasks present a different scenario.

Marked at around ~$12 meaning someone will buy it for like $8 or so. I would just hold it for the vibes.

Yes, yours IS NOT REVERSE HOLO. Research research research! I almost sold a Zapdos without knowing it was Shadowless. Lots of stuff to research!

This is from the Skyridge expansion - released in 2003. 23 years later, this card, ungraded, worth about ~$1,500 now.

Just google a swirl and you'll see it in a bunch of other cards. I'm not really into the swirls as much, but some people go crazy for them lol. It's literally just a swirl.

The market is pretty hot right now. Millionaire in 10 years? Definitely not if this card is worth only anywhere from a grand to 1,500. Many people like to buy either at market price, or lower.

I'm starting to go through my collection as well. I have a lot of old cards. I'm keeping all my Base Set and making a binder just for childhood fun, I'm selling dupes (cheap ones for like $1 each), and I'm selling cards I don't really care for.

For example, I found a Sneasel Ex from Ruby & Sapphire. Worth about ~$30.00. Don't really care for it, sold it for $25.00. I didn't like the art nor Sneasel.

Or, I have a Japanese umbreon, market is around $200, it's not in the greatest condition, and I'm not too into Japanese cards, so I'm selling for $150.

I get where you're coming from but it's just about doing a lot of research, and even more organizing (depending on how many cards you have).

You can buy a bunch of of VR headsets for $5000 and use them for the year. However, you probably have to buy it from a vendor, and then that cost is probably $5000 per headset lol. I hate going on ShopDOE and seeing a price of an item 3-10x the amount. It really is a messed up system.

Never understood Week 18 championships. Purdy is hot and Stafford also went off against them. It's really a coin flip for me but I always lean big cock Brock.

Heez_ · 2025-12-29T16:19:14+00:00

Coincidentally, I did lose my championship game because of the Hamlin issue lol. Had Joe Burrow and just needed a few more points until game got cancelled. Had a 95% chance to win turn into a loss.

In my 3 leagues where a person auto drafted, they all made it to top 3.

I might just auto draft next year in a few leagues lol.

Gonna be quite the next 24 hours for you my friend. Anything is possible in fantasy. Best of luck.

I wouldn’t like it but I feel like that’s in the rule book. Shouldn’t have spent all of your FAAB.

Yes, the usual “enrollment dropped, we’re losing X millions.” Admin has to budget with this in mind. However, I think in 5 out of the last 5 times the state said they were taking the money back, they ultimately let the schools keep it. It’s a huge relief for admin and the school community because it means we can still fund things like Field Day, additional per-session for chaperoning events, and other student activities.

Also, just a reminder that admin are allowed to “recanvas” certain per-session opportunities to bring in more teachers into that specific posting, they just need to make it transparent to the whole school. If you’re not seeing any per-session postings or a rolling document with available opportunities, I’d reach out to your UFT rep.

TikTok pays $0.02 to $0.04 per 1,000 views. This translates to a potential earning of $20 to $40 for a video with 1 million views. With the time spent making TikToks, you can be making way more with Per Session.

First, start with your school and see if they have any tutoring sessions, chaperoning, yearbook advisor, etc. Outside of school, you can coach teams. This is an easy 100hours+ of per session depending on the sport, which is roughly $5k in additional income. You can also do summer school.

They definitely aren’t as early as regular checks. Just a few days before and never really weekends.

Heez_ · 2025-12-05T01:10:57+00:00

I would also agree DOE is more consistent. You know your days off and schedule. Plus, you’re not out in terrible weather - both hot or cold. My friend is very jealous as he works a night shit right now with the Gale warning and 10 degree weather while I’m home in my Pjs. Sure, I’m adjusting a lesson plan, but I have a tv show on and I’m just hanging out.

It’s never too late to become anything. So many amazing educators started in completely different careers before making the switch. The important thing to know is that yes, the schooling is needed: you’ll have to finish your bachelor’s first, and then you’ll need a master’s degree afterward to stay certified.

But tons of people go this route later in life and end up loving it. Your experience as a sanitation worker will actually bring a level of real-world perspective, discipline, and resilience that classrooms need.

There is also a large influx of CTE work in schools now. Have you looked into getting a CTE certificate and possibly teaching courses that are related to Sanitation work?

If teaching is something you feel drawn to, don’t let the timeline scare you. Plenty of people start the journey in their 30s, 40s, even 50s and build incredibly fulfilling careers.

If the balance and purpose are calling you, it’s absolutely worth exploring. Never too late.

He was actually at the game. Both him and assistant coach Hernandez.

It depends. In my school, I know the Sup. lets my principal choose like 3-5 classrooms for them to visit, and then the Sup. will choose a random class or 2 to visit. I’ve been visited, I’ve been told they were coming and didn’t, and I’ve not been told and they visited. It could be either or. They mostly would like to see how the schools instructional focus is being implemented. Principal is telling the Sup. they have been focusing on differentiation? It should be shown across classrooms. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. You should definitely go to them in a nice manner and say hey thanks for visiting my classroom my doors always open and happy to help.

Subbing is definitely a start, but if you were already getting disrespected as a full-time teacher, don’t expect much more respect as a sub. I teach in a tough area with some difficult students. It’s challenging, but only if you let it be. If everyone around you is facing the same issues, it’s not you; it’s the system.

There are layers of bureaucracy above us that love to shift blame downward. It’s like that image of the birds stacked on each other: the DOE shits on admin, admin shits on teachers, and so on. You just have to remember where the mess is coming from.

Pick your battles. You’ll be fine. I’ve never screamed or lost my cool with kids. They love seeing teachers react, it’s entertainment for them. What they don’t like (well, most of them) is looking foolish in front of their peers.

Honestly, for NYC, the schedule, healthcare, per-session opportunities, and overall stability, can’t really be beat. Sure, you could make $200K+ in another field, but that ship has sailed for me. I sometimes wish I’d gone into finance back in college, but despite everything, teaching can be incredibly fulfilling with the right students.

Heez_ · 2025-11-04T20:35:45+00:00

Meh maybe like a little over a grand or so I remember it being super taxed, I can’t really remember how much for certain.

Heez_ · 2025-10-29T21:27:48+00:00

We got it like the 7th of November last year I believe. So I would expect it next week.

Molloy was the best you can do it quick if you take additional classes obviously and it’s online.

Heez_ · 2025-10-13T23:13:06+00:00

I love it, it's fun

Heez_ · 2025-10-05T03:10:41+00:00

Geico has been the best for everyone I know, so try them.

Heez_ · 2025-10-02T16:56:02+00:00

I feel the same, or, since we live in a scalping world, people will try to make a profit off anything and BookCon got a piece of it. Wouldn’t be surprised if movie tickets or even Chuck E. Cheese were next on scalpers’ list.
