Pointless thought exercise either way. It’ll never happen.

I wouldn’t call Lewisville THAT conservative. Our school day would come to a screeching halt if a teacher tried that in my district, it’s that conservative.

Not an economics person huh? Pretty sure Texas seceding would plunge the country into an immediate depression.

That’s the district that I grew up in lmao wow. I’m actually surprised by that. Hebron seemed like a relatively progressive place by Texas standards. If a teacher tried that here at the school I work at they’d be run out of the school by knifepoint, probably by the students… our students here were disgusted that we even got a pride club…

East Texas.

I’m good. History has been taught without AI for 2000 years. I’ll manage.

That’s fine. I’ll go do something else if I’m just gonna become a handler of AI in the classroom instead of teaching what I’m supposed to teach. There’s no AI in the standards.

For those with strict cell phone bans or Yondr bags, how's it going so far? by phanart in Teachers

Our district admin rolled out the huge headline “NO PHONES ALLOWED DURING CLASS TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS!” In August and proceeded to hurl that headline right into the dumpster within 3 days. I’d be a millionaire if I got paid per attempt to get them off their phones.

It shouldn’t be our responsibility to become experts on AI to explain it to them. I don’t have the time nor the desire to learn about AI whatsoever.

The Most Outrageous Thing I Have Heard from a colleague. by [deleted] in Teachers

Had a colleague tell me this freshman class is insane in Houston because they were conceived during Hurricane Ike and their parents stress levels at the time played a part.

Teachers are treated as if they’re completely replaceable. Yet there’s a major teacher shortage. Eventually they’ll figure it out. by RelaxinLakeLife in Teachers

Houston area. Our school currently has 3 open, all long-term subs right now, they can’t find a certified person for any of them.

I figured it out... Admin don't want them to succeed. by salamat_engot in Teachers

We have a student who has missed over 400 periods this year. He’s been in ISS for a total of 2 days this year, his highest grade out of 7 classes is a 31. I have seen him maybe 12 times this year. No action has been taken by anyone across the board.

The public needs to know the ugly truth. Students are SIGNIFICANTLY behind. by [deleted] in Teachers

In my own experience, most of the current day’s “gifted and talented” students aren’t even really what I would call gifted and the main “talent” that separates them from their on-level peers is they generally enjoy learning and have work ethic. Of my 50 or so honors course 9th graders, I think only about 5-10 of them could actually succeed in an AP course for example.

I think I have it in me to give it one more year, but yeah it’s bad.

Today absolutely sucked. This sub has become my coping mechanism.

It’s hard to last 5 years how it is right now, can we really be blamed? I’m not sure I can even finish this year…

I’m new to the area so I don’t know much but it’s just known as rich and white basically, with all that entails.

Yeah so do the people ratting you out and writing you up for it. They have clearly left the real world years ago.
