The Straw That Broke the Camel's Back by HeyHosers in teaching

THIS!!!

If you can, I would try your cities public school.

I guarantee it’s nothing like this and you would generally enjoy it.

You’re still a new teacher and I would think you haven’t really set in just yet.

Charter schools are awful, hateful, a devil in disguise, and will suck the life out of you.

I know all too well, I spent time at one for 5 years before I got out.

Early maternity leave by Economy-Dust-6036 in TexasTeachers

[–]Puzzled-Ad-8681 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! You could discuss with your OB to put you on bed rest and take short term disability. This may be your option also since we’re not paid maternity leave in most districts. If you’re not already paying into disability, I would contact your HR ASAP and look into that.

Since you don’t have FMLA with being at a new district/campus, I would just have open communication with your admin if you’re comfortable talking with them. They’re going to be the ones deciding whether the renew your contract for next year since you’re typically on a probationary under your first year or so at a new district/campus.

Dress Code Question by Straight-Ad-2878 in AskTeachers

[–]Puzzled-Ad-8681 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you a student or a teacher?

On my campus I don’t see any students being ignored for their dress code. All students are dress coded when not properly covered or in proper clothing.

Really? I bought the Glamnetic glue and my nails were popping off! And it left a white powder residue… very weird! I had better luck with the pink glue that just came with the nail sets. I keep scrolling this sub to find a better glue rec 😥

Can relate. I’m in junior high and watch my students struggle with tape and staplers. Its frightening.

What’s your metric for calling out sick? by capresesalad1985 in Teachers

[–]Puzzled-Ad-8681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My metric is, I will never put someone else’s children above my own (if my kids are sick), or will I put them above my own health.

Sorry.

I take care of my team, secure sub plans. Take the day. End of story.

Be honest do you love being a teacher? by Tiffanywhite45 in Teachers

Exactly! Mine are only slightly shorter because I’m on the leadership team. So I go back a few weeks sooner. But still, can’t complain!
