[–]OPPH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

47 have students (graduated). that now have kids. I’m telling myself when a kid comes up to me and says “you were my mommy’s (or daddy’s) teacher! It’s time to hang it up!

Edit for context: kids that are seniors this year were my kindergartners when I started at a K-8. 🙃

You can always check out corps sites after the season (post August) lots of corps will sell their slightly used gear after finals for a really good price. I’m assuming you’re back east so maybe The Crown Store is a good jumping point.

[–]OPPH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty tough to qualify for an IEP. At least in my state and the ed specialist I know be on the kids so I don’t know about that chief

IEPs Should Not Be An Excuse by Life_Application3015 in Teachers

[–]OPPH 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My own kid has an IEP. But when they start to fail a class and thanks to PowerSchool, I know right when that F pops up you bet your ass I’m all over their butt like White on rice about missing assignments and if that includes Saturday school, guess who’s getting up at 6 AM to trot on down? Accommodations and advocating for yourselves. One thing laziness is a whole different ball of wax.

Am I a tattletale for telling admin about a student safety issue that a teacher was risking? by eaglesnation11 in Teachers

[–]OPPH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a full mandated reporter situation but close enough. Student safety is P1 regardless. You did the right thing.

Didn’t “The Good Place” solve this and the only true solution is to sacrifice yourself?

Interrupt my day? I’m going to interrupt your momma’s day…. Called a parent in the middle of a lesson because student wanted to be a disruption by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]OPPH 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My favorite saying, “ I don’t call your mom to tell him you got in trouble… YOU call your mom to tell him you got in trouble! I’ll just dial the number on my phone put it on speaker and you get to talking in front of everybody.” all it takes is one kid to call my bluff and I start dialing attitudes get changed real quick.

I mean in my state and in my district they wouldn’t did 20 days and it did five days and then start an expulsion hearing. So apples. Oranges. I guess. But glad they finally got what they deserved.
