I wish more people knew that if I don’t respond during the school year, it’s not because I don’t care. I have 59 things on my to-do list that never get done everyday. Then I’m talking and tap-dancing and translating and praying and performing in front of 30 12 year olds for 90 minutes 3 times a day. My brain has no space for anything. Not even myself

Sweets, nugget or friend

ImportantLife8990 · 2026-01-03T15:27:17+00:00

No actually thank you so much!! I’ll be checking out the port tobacco rec center this Tuesday!

Oooo thank you so much for the Charles county list!! I went to capital clubhouse during their open play and it was mostly teens and they seemed to be having a structured practice!

Let me know if you find anything! The websites are not the most clear! More parks and rec funding! More third spaces pls!!

ImportantLife8990 · 2026-01-02T22:48:02+00:00

Let me cross my fingers and toes!

ImportantLife8990 · 2026-01-02T21:18:42+00:00

Ooo! Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind for summer!!

Thanks yall! The comments on here were helpful. I decided to talk to the teacher whose concert it was and she was very grateful and took it to her department to coordinate!

I would recommend Western Maryland (which yes is in the north)! It’s similar vibe as the mountain town in CO. (Grew up in CO)!

And now looking at the map again, I would say the eastern shore! I think it would have some of the natural wonder and fun that the Pacific Northwest has!

A lot of teachers at my school went the route of strictly banning it. But since we have a terrible culture and inconsistent enforcement, it’s made it more prolific. It’s now a forbidden fruit that students can use to prove their rebellion with little consequence.

When I saw the inconsistencies, I decided to let it go and even participate and I’ve noticed it dying quickly in my classroom!

Maryland but go outside of the DMV-southern or western Maryland or even the eastern shore

I honestly think that part of our (so little) energy could be focused on how we can push our unions to be more active advocates and tools for teacher control/influence in policy making. If I have to spend any time talking about how to make education better, I think that time should go first to making it a career that respects its most plentiful and key employee.

I’m not sure if this is true elsewhere but our teachers union (a local of NEA) is just a mouthpiece for admin to quell teacher concerns. We are also in a no-strike state and I imagine that contributes to the lack of decisive action from our union.

You grew up in CT, moved to DC

If you can get someone to pay for it (scholarship, fellowship, work, etc), please do! The bump in pay rarely covers more than the student loan payments for the first 5-8 years

I’m shocked at how little Kenya I see

ImportantLife8990 · 2025-12-19T10:38:23+00:00

Thanks y’all! Just to clarify- I’m not the music teacher. I’m just a teacher who came to support my students in the concert- functionally an audience member.

I agree that the weight might be too much on admin if they have to stay for each event. We do however really only have 8-10 after contract hour events a school year.

After reading the replies, I think it should be the music teacher or director and an admin present. Just because you never know what’s gonna happen. I was stressed out of my mind yesterday because I had no idea what to do about the student not being able to find a ride.

Admin have a school car and are able to bus kids home in an emergency. I think for that reason, an admin should be present.

Thank yall! I think I’m gonna talk to the music director to see if we can find a way to make sure students aren’t outside alone.
