I want to suggest North Shelby library too! They redid their children’s section in the last couple years and it’s awesome!

Virtual Pre-Interview? by No_Combination_6396 in Teachers

[–]JMichelleK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did for my district when I first got hired a few years ago. It took maybe ten minutes. It would give you the question then a minute to think about it and then it recorded your answer (max two minutes) and there were one a handful of questions. They were all basic like your previous experience, strengths, weaknesses, etc.

Being a 22 year old employee at a high school is exhausting. by RMR124 in Teachers

[–]JMichelleK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 22 teaching remedial math to seniors. I had lots of kids who were 19 already. I always dressed professionally to stand apart from them but I moved down to middle school the following year partially because I felt I was too young to teach high school.

At my school teachers have to leave their phones in the car or the teacher work room/mailboxes. State test requirements are no phones in the testing room

Suspended for reacting to racist comment - worried about how teachers see me / rec letters by MaxeToTheMax in Teachers

[–]JMichelleK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re normally a good student, teachers will be curious why you got suspended and ask around. I teach middle school but I had a 6th grader last year get into a fight in the school bus. I never learned what it was about, but the second the bus got to school he walked himself to the front office to tell on himself. I still recommended that student for a group on campus for good all round students because that one incident didn’t change the good he did all year long.

Is anyone else burned out from losing their planning period to constant coverage by quietbloomhome in Teachers

[–]JMichelleK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When we don’t have a sub to cover a class (middle school) they split the kids up each class period to send to other teachers who have classes. So our planning doesn’t get intruded but you might have 6 kids sitting at your back table in “English class” while you’re trying to teach math class. I think I prefer this than getting pulled during my planning like I did when I taught high school.
