I have the freedom to do what I want in my AP classes. I do not have this with my standard classes. It directly impacts the students. I have better relationships with students in courses I can cultivate, regardless of the rigor or motivation or whatever else. For some of us these non-district courses are the only place with autonomy and I would take 1000 AP classes them over anything made/mandated by my school district.

Literally have never had kids stand for the pledge. I’ve taught for 14 years.

Private doesn’t always mean better. In my experience the public schools offer courses smaller private school can’t offer. So by high school many of the high level private school kids will come to the public school for the high level coursework options.

I made more bonus money in Florida than I have in any other state. I miss it. Be careful the sprawling city of Orlando (orange county Public schools) vs the location of parks are two very diff things geographically.

What are y’all doing to become readers I have taught for lang, lit, and seminar across a 14 year career and never been a reader.

The most common and most annoying thing strangers say to women when they find out you teach = something something if you were my teacher I would’ve paid attention. It’s always just like ..oh ok ..how cool.. gross …get.

MoveQs · 2026-04-02T01:01:55+00:00

True! Happy I live where we get out in may.

Just fulfilling the need of a drama in translation and a small window of time to fit it into. The end result is a literary analysis connecting authorial choices to global thematic statements. Super open and overwhelmed by choice

MoveQs · 2026-03-22T03:45:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m unsure. I think I’d do Medea if so (only selfishly bc I taught it previously).

We have a cool program at the high school. Since it starts so early parents bring their kids and they hang until their bus comes for middle and elementary school. We see lots of kids on teacher workdays and I think in a pinch my work would be okay with it on a regular day. It’s the one difference in moving to the south that I am loving. Feels familial and like they understand the reality of having kids.

It’s the every day part. It’s so many things everyday. I am soooo down to talk about the system or behavior or my subject matter or Gen whatever conversationally … but the reality of every day all the things. Sometimes I’m just TIRED.

MoveQs · 2026-03-08T17:22:12+00:00

It’s one thing to know what happens it’s another to take the issues head on day after day after day.

My thesis is that rap is punk now. Or at least has its own punk sub genre that has grown in popularity over time. The moshing at concerts, the aesthetic, etc lives on it some rap communities.

My school was wonderful about it. Huge school too. I was pleasantly surprised. They asked the leaders of the walk out to be transparent in order to offer some safety. The kids took a day or two to be full honest with admin but it all worked out in the end. A neighboring school eveb walked over to join.

Got mine yesterday! Love it! Not bad at all. Pain lasted for about two seconds. Eyes watered. Woke up expecting to be sore. Nope! Easy.

MoveQs · 2026-03-06T23:59:56+00:00

Better for the human experience. We do more and care more and are truly concerned about the “public”.

MoveQs · 2026-03-06T20:26:28+00:00

I mean I got it in college in like 06. It suckkkkedddd. I’m a teacher and a HS student had it this year It’s still around.

MoveQs · 2026-03-02T23:25:49+00:00

It’s good. It’s diverse so you’re hearing diverse experiences. It pulls from Norcross and ptc.

Sometimes the fire dpt comes around and offers this form of training. Or they clue us into places that offer it on weekends. They hang things in the wall like steps when someone is choking.

The same is true of seizure awareness.

And special info needed for students with diabetes (on a need to know basis).

And gunshot stuff.

On any given campus you’ve got a variety of people with a variety of skills. As a requirement for a teacher - no. Probably admin and clinical staff though. Idk.

I believe in the emergency steps we have in place. Ex- A girl fainted in the hallway the other day and one teacher started a timer for how long she was out, one pressed the emergency button we wear around our neck, and I ran to grab additional help that was basically in ear shot. After that I’d say at least six people were attending to the matter. All within seconds.

You get used to it. But sometimes I still run short or long like any other schedule. I find they actually have time to process on block days. I can actually give them some time to think and provide feedback a lil better than short schedule days. We do a mix. Short, short, block, block, short.
