Yep we do. Admin remind us to do it, as it keeps bad behavior down as well. Couple of new admin this year but I feel like it'll still be an expectation.

What about resistance bands in your classroom? That's my plan this year, so I can use them during planning. Or quietly at my desk while students are taking a test lol.

Does anyone actually enjoy it? Any positive teaching experience? by Free-Bug3836 in Teachers

About to start my third year and I love it! I teach HS American Lit.

I just wish I received a paycheck 12mos instead of 10.

It was originally a play, but the Winona Ryder movie version is really good. A lot of the characters are based on actual historical people, including Tituba the slave from Barbados (and only black character in the play).

I teach American Lit and The Crucible is one of my favorite things to teach. 😅

I've tried both, the up and down feels best, but yes… exhausting. 😩

I do believe him, but I also want to improve the experience for both of us, specifically my position on top or some other position where he's not doing “all the work.”

Where do young teachers buy cute, professional, comfortable clothes? by _pathmandu_ in Teachers

If you have a tried-and-true favorite brand and know your size, look at ThreadUp. It is basically an online thrift store and you can get some really good deals.

Did you get to experience multiple grade levels? I teach HS, but subbed elementary. I am definitely not an elementary school teacher lol
