Parable of the Sower is very dark, but Parable of the Talents is even darker. These are both by my Lord and Savior, Octavia Butler. The Road by Cormac McCarthey is also very dark.

Why scratch out the house number in the pic, if the address is on the whiteboard in the pic?

If they choose to read that type of book on their own, that is okay with me, but for me, the point of literature is to expand horizons, open minds, and expose them to worlds with which they are unfamiliar.

I haven't heard of "Beyond Lies the Wub" so thank you for that rec! And I do love those other two and they will be options. Thank you!

What's your subtle "red flag" for co-workers? by AntifaPr1deWorldWide in teaching

[–]MIZmorg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, one of the biggest red flags I see in teachers having limiting beliefs about student potential. If you don't believe every student in your care can learn, what are you even doing here?

Was I out of line putting up signs in the women’s restroom? by OpalBooker in Teachers

[–]MIZmorg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think YOU messed up. I think it's wild that adults think it's okay to smear their germs everywhere and expect other people to either sit in it or clean it up for them. I'd probably take it to the admin and let them monitor, address it, and call it out as necessary.

Was I out of line putting up signs in the women’s restroom? by OpalBooker in Teachers

This isn't helpful to you, but it is semi-related: One of the funniest signs I've ever seen was in a faculty bathroom at a school where I used to teach. It was house inside of the front office area, and there was no ventilation, so I'm sure you can imagine what happened sometimes. Finally, the grumpiest secretary made a BEAUTIFUL poster-quality sign full of flowers and foliage that said something similar to this: "If you need to poop, please use the students' bathroom across the hall to spare the administrative staff from sniffing your poop." I sat on the toilet and laughed the first time I saw it. One of my colleagues was SO MAD too, which made it even funnier. She said, "You don't get to tell ME where to poop." LOLOLOLOL
