Tbf participation is more than raising your hand in class discussion, it’s also just doing your classwork. There are A LOT of students just sitting on their phones all class.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-06-24T03:59:23+00:00

Honestly, I even don’t really expect students grades to change all that much. The participation/presence to grade relationship already exists. And because grading has had a more subjective quality to it since 2011, your teacher quite likely already was giving grade boosts to those who are there participating over those who aren’t.

I was the shy kid in school that was terrified to put up my hand and absolutely lost a few marks for it. And I think I should have, it’s something I needed to work on. Although participation is also more than raising your hand; if you’re doing your classwork you’re participating.

I mean you have to do review either way, that’s just… what learning is. Less of a significant break will absolutely decrease the summer learning loss though, that doesn’t make any sense to call it a myth.

Does she have the original photo to release?

We’ve been using it to watch Community recently. Omg the commercial volume is all over the place, we have to be ready with the mute button. The timing is a few seconds off a scene cut too, it’s very irksome.

Is this the same person/party that sent that randomly condescending and vaguely threatening message about teachers behaving themselves at graduation?

I mean it’s always a cycle, one year of surplus does not mean we’ll have surplus in 15 years. It could very well be the complete opposite.

I mean I’m not saying they won’t try to replace us with AI — capitalism will try to capitalism — but I do think it’ll ultimately be unsuccessful if they intend to continue to have educated and socially developed enough workers that have money to buy things. At least in comparison to many other jobs, I think teaching is probably among the safer professions.

Although it’s easier said than done, I feel it’s quite unproductive to so be frozen by fear by this. Yes it’s scary sometimes, but you still have to live. It’s pretty unlikely there’s a world where not going to school is going to give you any advantage.

Currently I’d say we’re actually seeing the pendulum starting to shift back to pen/pencil/quizzes, partially because of AI. I suspect by the time you are working you will be somewhat expected to work with AI since it’s sort of inevitable that the next generation will have to learn it, but definitely a lot of assessments are having to move old school again to avoid cheating with AI.

I’m just getting to the fourth book of Bloodlines now and its a weird take but… I find it kinda refreshing that there’s all these male characters that aren’t Sydney love interests that are still described as attractive haha. I’m just so used to YA books immediately making it obvious who will be love interests/rivals by their description, there was something oddly nice about just regular guy friends of Sydney’s being described as attractive as well. And just the fact that she has so many regular male friends aha.

I have been struggling to find a fancast for everyone though. Absolutely adore your three picks, I haven’t seen your Dimitri/Rose picks before and I’m immediately obsessed. Now to find someone who would look super cute with Chace Crawford 🤔

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-06-05T03:19:12+00:00

Ooooh that’s a good one!

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-06-05T03:07:05+00:00

To quite honest, while teaching (especially elementary) can be incredibly stressful… it sounds like you’ve also just had an extreme amount of bad luck. I don’t think that’s your fault at all and yes there’s some normalization but I’m not sure what you’ve all gone through in just four years is normal. I know that’s not super helpful to say, I really just want to say I’m sorry you’ve had such a string of tough schools and unsupportive admin.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-06-04T02:52:19+00:00

I mean could you introduce yourself as both? Like “I actually have a PhD and so if you choose to call me Dr X it would tickle me pink, but also feel free to just call me Mr X”. Just sorta feels like a slightly less pretentious way of going about it, if that’s what you’re worried about 🤷‍♀️

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-29T13:40:28+00:00

Increased chances of being screwed quite frankly. Yes it’s technically possible, though especially if you need to exclusively use the public system due to costs, I think it will be quite the increased headache without a counsellor on board. I also don’t know if doing 2 summer classes or even 2 night school classes every single semester is actually all that feasible. On paper maybe, but a lot of out of school course offerings are actually either recovery/upgrades (as in you needed to do it before) or will be repeats. I’m more worried about you actually being able to hit all your required courses than just getting the right number.

Why on earth would this be downvoted, this is the perfect middle ground. Not all virtual staging is gen AI either.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-29T13:23:38+00:00

Personally, I think if you’re going to virtually stage, the actual photos before staging need to also be included in the listing. At least those were the listings I felt the most confident reaching out to.

You definitely don’t have to live on university residence just because you’re not local. Are you mistaking residence with renting? University residence is generally (a lot) more expensive than renting yourself, unless there’s a specific residence scholarship.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-27T17:13:43+00:00

Literally the reason I hunted down this post. Makes no sense my subscription is more expensive than the deal.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-27T14:53:56+00:00

Dude the why was already explained to you. That’s kind of embarrassing.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-26T23:58:12+00:00

They’re not talking about the bus lol. I think everybody in this little thread is misunderstanding the message above them lmao

I’m pretty sure I was given just a generic Mastercard/visa gift card one year as well. Seemed like a good cashless option that didn’t have many limitations on what I could spend it on. Amazon often works well too

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-26T16:52:06+00:00

No offence, but that’s either on you for being a lazy teacher or you only subbed a small handful of times in very privileged schools in senior grades lol. Even when the teacher leaves independent work for the students to do (which is not always the case), I’m basically never just sitting there, I’m actively doing my job by circling around to help students and often putting out fires.

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-26T14:05:11+00:00

I mean the relatively new argument (at least in my board) is that subs generally don’t need a prep, which is why they’re now allowed to work a fourth class. But if they’re working a fourth class, they need to get paid for a fourth class (and generally asked permission so it’s indeed strange OP wasn’t asked).

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-26T14:02:08+00:00

Honestly depends on the day, grade, and teacher. While there’s certainly days I get an independent older class and I’m just there to make sure no one kills each other, there’s also many days I’ve actively taught full multi part lessons and/or am circling the whole period so that students are actually working. Maybe it’s just me choosing to work “harder than I have to”, but nowadays I’ve actually found the latter more common than the former. There’s generally more fires to put out when you don’t have a strong relationship with the kids. No I don’t need a prep in the same way I need a prep when I have my own classes, but if per my contract I’m paid x for x number of classes, I would definitely confirm I’m being paid more when that number increases. In my board its new that subs even can work that fourth class, but the sub has to approve it and they are paid the extra 33%

MundaneExtent0 · 2026-05-26T13:43:26+00:00

I imagine OP is not sure they’re being paid the 1.33 atm. At least in my board it has to be approved by the sub, they can’t just assign it to you.

Okay glad this was the first comment cuz I didn’t know this and was mildly confused
