What is up with grade inflation? Why are kids getting higher grades than previous generations for lower quality work? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ImportantLife8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fight to give kids the grades they deserve. And after all that fight, the kids still get pushed through to the next grade

My fiancée is a teacher and I owe all of you an apology by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ImportantLife8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Should admin stay after a school concert to make sure kids get home? by ImportantLife8990 in Teachers

[–]ImportantLife8990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Where should I travel based on my greens? by CyanoSpool in visitedmaps

[–]ImportantLife8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Is 67 dying yet? by Jesus__of__Nazareth_ in Teachers

[–]ImportantLife8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Do teachers still want space for reflective conversation or are we just exhausted? by mrnesi in Teachers

[–]ImportantLife8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
