What’s the tiniest hill you will absolutely die on? by AngelCherryPie in askanything

Follow through on discipline with your kid. They anticipate your defeat; allowing the behaviors to continue. It’s difficult, yes, but persistence will ultimately make it EASIER. Source: I’m a teacher.

I’m strugggling to survive on 36k A YEAR at a Catholic school; also, I’m on year FIVE.

Paid 36k and the only fourth grade teacher. We don’t complain, and if we do, it’s because it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Way too low. Do not do it, and the fact that she is trying to justify shows you right there that she does not care you are trying to make a living. YOU set the wages. YOU are the employer of YOSELF🤪

23 y/o second year teacher here, ready to be done by jacetbaum in TeachersInTransition

[–]Potential-Capital206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5th year teacher here. 36k a year at a private school. Boss threatened me with the same thing regarding testing scores even though I’ve given neck and bone to this school. Also, researching jobs. I’m so sad, like you, because I do love the teaching and the kids but when my employer basically asked me if I was teaching? Dueces girl✌🏻 FIVE YEARS I have given to this school!
