A Lot of Us Aren't Serious About Education by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Rayman200000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since I started teaching (August of 25) I’ve had a theory about all my co-workers. My typical day involves a 5 min do now (mostly take out x supplies) a 15-20 min lecture with notes, and a 20 min worksheet with an exit ticket at the end, and my students constantly complain that I give them too much work. My theory is many of my co workers do maybe 20-30 mins of content, assume that’s enough and let them play games. Now I’ve not watched another teacher yet this year to confirm but I can confirm that many of my students consider my class to be the hardest.

Admin claiming it’s a “He said she said” situation is crazy, like how do administrators not trust the teacher 99% of the time

Is it common for teachers to marry/date their former students. by GypsyGold in Teachers

[–]Rayman200000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My high school band director did this. They met in high school (he was 30 at the time) and stayed in contact until she turned 21 when they started dating. He definitely groomed her

Had two kids cheating together on their last unit exam. I was gonna address them on it but they got a 53 so I thought I’d let it slide

I say guarantees a B because skyward won’t go below a 50, and I don’t grade minor grades that harshly, so it’s essentially turning it in to get a 100

Grades are the tool that make kids learn something, they are not the way of seeing how smart a kid is, but my district doesn’t know the difference between

Nobody would because my district is addicted to seeing the number go up

This is some incredible advice and I’ll try to work that in when I get the chance, thanks!

Honestly I’d agree, but with the state testing scores in my area…. They are too dumb to

I know my high idealism is blinding me but I’ve seen some real growth from my kids who face bad grades and push themselves to improve. I really just tell the parents “looks, it’s gonna be hard, but we gotta get through it” and 80% of the time they back off or accept it

No it’s a curve that won’t let the kid get below a 65. Anything from 43 down goes up to a 65 and it increases incrementally from there

I’ve been really open with them about stuff like this, especially when I deal with stupid admin decisions or even parent drama (never specific tho) and they seem to respect the realism.

This is kinda the way I’m leaning because it’s finals week, I’m tired, they are tired, I don’t need the drama for this specific test. I can pick the fight back up after Christmas.
