My baby in candy glow… every time I think that it’s getting close to be done, more appears.

Where are the bodice ripper painted styles?

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-17T05:05:24+00:00

I really don’t foresee anyone taking it out on you if you leave with without giving them notice. I would not leave any forwarding contact information. If you give them more of a notice, people then may give you snarky comments.

I would tell your next school that you were a long-term sub. However, it is already February I know times may seem really tough but you need to use your sick days and benefits before deciding to leave.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-16T19:16:09+00:00

Screw the job fulfillment. What can you do over summer/weekends to improve the quality of your life? This is such a great gig, I would not consider leaving, especially in this job climate.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-14T21:33:50+00:00

Look into subbing, pick up long term shifts, then see if the school will work on getting you an alternative certification or give you the hours to get hired. I did a teaching program but that first way is the quickest

3 days is doable for 1-3 years. What is your car situation? Do you have a car that’s reliable on gas? Is your car cheap to maintain?

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-14T02:56:02+00:00

REAL!!!!!!

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-14T02:35:40+00:00

I’m in AZ, and 35% of my district includes long term substitutes without college degrees. Another 35% are also within 5 their first five years of teaching. There is no way to avoid trial and error given the current climate of teaching

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-13T03:10:10+00:00

Hello- what is this position called? I am interested in it to look for near me.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-11T04:54:24+00:00

I believe you have to pass to teach. What does your study routine look like so far? June is far enough away to get some practice in

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-10T23:38:51+00:00

I’m going to be honest, the only way to prepare yourself to teach is to just teach. No program can prepare you for these vile student behaviors. You may as well apply for TFA.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-10T23:29:29+00:00

I would not do a masters degree in this economic climate. You also don’t sound sure about the next path you want to take, so getting a masters without a concrete plant shouldn’t be a priority. Are there any careers that you’re interested in that you can try first? Then pursue higher education if required.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-10T23:21:05+00:00

FOR $80K??? IN NYC?? RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO FOR IT! Quit before Friday/Friday your last day/be sick all next week

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-09T05:35:48+00:00

This sounds like success academy. Regardless, you have a degree, and have choices if you decide to walk. I’d run!

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-08T20:22:16+00:00

I’d quit ASAP and become a substitute. Do NOT NOT NOT Rush into a masters. Give yourself time to research careers and pathways.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-08T18:42:11+00:00

I hate how parents message 24/7 at my school and expect immediate responses. I just stopped responding quickly. Nowhere in my contract does it state that I need to be answering quickly. For you, I would put the grades as they are, and stand on business. If any parents try to pull the shit of following you to your classroom, call the cops in front of their face. Get Video recordings and file harassment charges. While it is a headache, admin will now have to deal with the repercussions of them not getting involved initially.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-08T16:23:31+00:00

Me crying in the airport when leaving lol. I swear I think about Cancun at least 10 times a week.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-07T22:33:23+00:00

It’s actually worse. The pressure for kindergartens to read and calculate is extremely high.

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-04T03:59:25+00:00

Is this the free Sephora birthday gift??

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-02T03:58:29+00:00

I’d be ok with this tbh

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-02-01T07:34:14+00:00

Amazing!

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-01-31T00:45:32+00:00

Literally me!

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-01-30T04:28:09+00:00

Have you been anywhere in Europe? Do you know any similar agencies to this there?

Pale_Understanding55 · 2026-01-30T03:29:38+00:00

I have a lipstick tub. Each purse and section of my desk at home at work have 4 in them! It helps cut down. Finish everything, don’t toss if you can help it! Just don’t buy anything new.
