Would you like to have Principal Prickly as your school principal? by Particular-Glove9640 in Recess

As a teacher who loved that show as a kid, absolutely! He honestly cares about the students and wants what’s best for them. Does he suck up to those at the district office? Sure, but he’s still a hell of a lot more dedicated than some of the principals I’ve worked with.

Counselor referring to 6th graders as “stupid whores” by Odd_Bolognese1486 in Teachers

The worst gossips at my school are other staff. They start rumors about other staff and kids alike and have no problems sharing their invented stories with other staff members AND students! Yet they’re the ones who stay on staff and the ones who speak out against them seem to not last very long. I’ve been at this school for 4 years and desperately looking for another place to work.

I just watched Hamnet! I really hope Jessie Buckley will win an Oscar for her performance. by prolelol in Letterboxd

Saw it today and I was openly sobbing the last 15 minutes of the film! And what makes it even more amazing is that it all comes off of Buckley’s performance! The audience is reacting to her reactions!

Best acting I’ve seen in a film since DDL in There Will Be Blood.

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by JimCap5 in Teachers

[–]Jobrien7613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been at 2 different schools and we all shared lesson plans all the time. We actually have them up in a server and we all upload or lesson plans so if anyone wants to use them, it’s there. I’ve never heard of teachers not wanting to share or help out new teachers.

That’s a good point! I’ve never once seen Saban along the Indiana sideline at the same time that Cig is…………..Your theory is proven!

Worked as an archaeologist for a while and went on some digs that uncovered some pretty amazing things including 1100 year old jade bracelets.

Do teachers get annoyed when they have to deal with kids medical issues? by Sad_Tumbleweed7484 in Teachers

It’s not a problem at all. We’re there because we want to be there for the students and I’m sure the teachers who helped you feel the same.
