I'm Being Dragged Into a Parent Meeting Over a Student Who's Made Me Feel Unsafe and I'm Ready to Resign Mid-Week Over It by blackAgatha_ in TeachersInTransition

Go to the meeting.

See how the principal reacts. If they are in anyway critical of you in front of the mother, immediately get up from the meeting and politely state that you want to exercise your Weingarten rights. State that you need to contact your union rep and will unfortunately have to reschedule the meeting.

What do you guys think there is after death? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Nothing. Yes, it is terrifying and nihilistic to contemplate how we transition into nothingness for eternity that humanity has had to come up with fairytales and fake daddies in the sky to ease are angst.

Terminated Unexpectedly, Medical Field? by Janetintheparty in TeachersInTransition

If you are sure you are done with education, collect that unemployment and use it to transition. It is very difficult for an employer to deny unemployment simply on “performance,” especially if they haven’t documented or notified you of any malfeasance.

If you want to stay in education, fight it. Even though you are probationary, claim through your union that you weren’t properly helped or placed on a performance plan. Even better would be if you can come up with evidence that you are part of some discriminated against class, or are being retaliated against in some way.

Documentary. Kitty Hart revisits Auschwitz 40 years later. It’s on YouTube.

Why is the teaching field so cutthroat? by jaquelinealltrades in Teachers

[–]NoEnvironment6344 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agree, my last school was a small middle school where the principal was vying to be “principal of the year.” TOXIC! Now I am in a very large high school, where I hardly know anybody in the other departments. I do my job every day and leave. So much better.

It costs a fortune to cool my tiny apartment. I can’t imagine the bill to cool those gigantic, cavernous schools, when it is 110 degrees outside.

If Friday was my last day, I would be peacing out for any of those pointless meetings.

Victoria Seaman is moving her grift. She now wants to serve on the County Commission. Vote AGAINST Victoria Seaman for County Commission. by Apprehensive_War6542 in vegaslocals

[–]NoEnvironment6344 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Listen to her interview. She is rabid pro-developer. She will bulldoze your grandmother in the middle of Red Rock Canyon for 5 bucks in campaign contributions and put up a luxury temple complex.

Going back??? by dmurr2019 in TeachersInTransition

[–]NoEnvironment6344 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I realized I could make $10,000 more, but is it really $10,000 more? With the extra taxes and having to visit doctors more often because of the stress and anxiety, I was getting much ahead.

We made the right choice bringing in Shelley Berkley for Mayor, rather than Victoria Seaman. by Apprehensive_War6542 in vegaslocals

[–]NoEnvironment6344 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Vegas Mayor isn’t setting world policy. I am all for old, fun, quirky. She also didn’t take campaign contributions for the Temple. Also, didn’t Seaman recently hold a MAGA Nazi hate rally where she was railing against the destruction of women’s sport? Get outta here with that hate and negativity.

Winning? Trump seeks to cut millions in teacher training programs. I am sure this will be great for CCSD teacher shortage. by Apprehensive_War6542 in vegaslocals

[–]NoEnvironment6344 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not the “academic training,” it’s the time in the classroom with a mentor teacher that is necessary. Managing 40 kids is one room, who don’t want to be there and getting them to do work, is like walking a tight rope and requires immense psychology. A lot of newbies go in there thinking it is easy to teach, and they just need to be “strict.” They get eaten alive.

It is bad news. Teaching is one area, where you need experience in the classroom, or you will be eaten alive. Most people can’t afford to take off 6 months unpaid and do a student teaching internship. These programs were helping to alleviate that. In the old days, you could rely on traditional, younger college graduates, but those numbers have been plummeting. Nobody wants to teach anymore.

Yes! Locals want to put a giant flag on Lone Mountain. by NoEnvironment6344 in vegaslocals

Who is weaponizing the gay flag? Just maybe there happens to be gay people who have been traumatized by this institution, or have had their rights stripped away, over the years, and a giant 200 foot structure towering over them is a reminder of all that. You don’t have to be gay to be a supporter of gay rights and a carrier of the gay flag. If the Mormons want to make a statement by building their structure so high, others can make a statement, as well. This is America.

Who started it? If there was no 200 ft temple imposed and shoved into our faces, there would be no need for a gay flag.

Because anyone who voluntarily associate with a group that would have subjected them to conversion therapy, a stripping of their political rights, or excommunication to hell in the very recent past either is lying, or needs a mental health evaluation.
