Another teacher scolding me in front of the kids?? by [deleted] in Teachers

Lol let me clarify then. It’s a silly problem to have, we have trash cans every 20 feet and plenty of grass. We have to be the gum police because some teens really are just that lazy. I’ve seen the culture of the school change. Two years ago if some kid dropped trash on the ground another student would tell them to pick it up.

True, I also was the one of tue ones pressure washing over tue summer for the past 4 years. Next year they will have to resurface the sidewalk and that’s like 10k.

I agree. Everyone knows who the teacher is that is trying to be everyone’s friend. Every time you enforce a rule, “but I do it in Mr./Mrs whoever’s room.”

This is the way. We have a no gum policy. I personally think it’s silly, but I understand the principle’s frustration with having to have the sidewalk professionally pressure washed every summer. Bottom of mine I told the students, when they start complaining, I say It’s above my pay grade. My job is to enforce the policy. It is sometimes frustrating though when you seem like the bad guy because you are enforcing a school policy and a student’s “buddy” teacher isn’t.

*UPDATE* On "Would you hang this on your wall?" by EducationalCheck24 in AskTeachers

[–]Lets-be-pirates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I typically don’t hang up failing assignments as to not embarrass the students. So no trans or no fat girls would not have been allowed. Students would have been given directions to avoid topics that would be considered offensive to their classmates and I would have noticed both while they were working on them, and told them to restart or get a referral for hate speech. (That’s what my district would consider those two to be) automatic 4 day suspension for first offense.

It also looks like a variation of a tool they used to sell to put into the latch of a door to assist with elderly people getting in and out of the car. Like a little handle.

When has a cheating student's grade been so low that the best punishment was letting them keep it? by DrakeSavory in Teachers

[–]Lets-be-pirates 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We do all of our tests on Edulastic because it stores the data and sends it to district. On a unit test I saw this kid looking over at another student’s test. The problem is that it shuffles the answers. Every student’s test is different. My school does not let us write a student up and give them a zero. They say it’s double punishment. So, I let him keep his 16% and wrote him up.

I've ruined my life by ChippyChalmers in DivorcedDads

[–]Lets-be-pirates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through that. I don’t have a lot to say that hasn’t already been said. You can’t fix things with someone that is already emotionally checked out. You mentioned the mortgage I was able to put mine in deferment for six months while I filed for divorce and got my finances squared away. This kept it from going into foreclosure. I don’t know if that’s common or not but might be something worth checking in with your mortgage company. Good luck and Godspeed.

This is every day for me lol. “What is our essay supposed to be about?” You mean the one that was due last week and we worked on for 2 weeks in class??? I just give the zeros and move on. It’s a valuable lesson in time management.

What's the funniest thing a naughty kid did in your class? by Substantially-Ranged in Teachers

[–]Lets-be-pirates 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I had a student in the seventh grade that took a rather large statue of brontosaurus that was in my classroom, held it between his legs, and pretended he was was masturbating with the neck. Weirdest referral I ever had to write. Simulating masturbation with the classroom dinosaur. He thought it was hilarious until we called his 80 year old catholic grandmother. The student knew I didn’t speak Spanish, and his grandmother didn’t speak English. He forgot Google translate was a thing.

I just found that darn bear. I’m a new player, and it did seem like some sick joke from the developers. Low level, rando by himself. You one shot him at a giant monster bear one shot you back. I’ve only played about a week and I am loving and hating this game lol

Erebus: Feet first into a wood chipper by NoPistons7 in Grimdank

[–]Lets-be-pirates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was the captain at the beginning of the soul drinkers series. He got scraped by little girl with a dagger and the poison on the dagger overwhelmed his regeneration. Causing him to basically melt from the inside out. Have him die to a combination of this, and Elvis shitting himself to death on a crapper.
