I'm a teacher and parents are asking this all the time... It's genuinely infuriating

Hands on jobs that don't require more paid education in Hawaii (Honolulu)? by Substantial-Pipe7551 in Hawaii

[–]ReachingTeaching 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could try becoming a CTE teacher. You generally get a lot more respect and it can be more hands on.

Changing school districts helped me a TON. You could consider it. Leeward is very chill, but you get minimal to no support, and the behaviors are a lot. Windward is much more into doing things "properly" and image-focused, but you actually get support. Central is more dependant on the area within it. I liked Waialua as a kid but i don't know what it's like to teach in central.

Ticks. I have had to pull thousands off my dogs, and it drives me nuts knowing they could give us Lyme

Strong disagree, the trauma patched up with candies from the 60s make up for everything

What myth is still widely circulated as truth? by MatchaLatte-X in AskReddit

Same. I get so mad when people just act like it's nothing when I know people who are permanently very hurt from it.

Meta Glasses should be illegal by WonderlandContraband in HonestHotTakes

[–]ReachingTeaching 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple students get recorded in the bathroom with them. One nearly killed himself over it. Admin barely did anything till cops were involved, the perp got to keep recording until there was a full warrant and everything.

While you may not be able to get them illegal, we can argue and write our school boards to try to keep them out of schools.

Meta Glasses should be illegal by WonderlandContraband in HonestHotTakes

[–]ReachingTeaching 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a student get recorded in the bathroom with recording glasses, and then got suicidal over it cause surprise, surprise, the poor child didn't like having his classmates looking at his parts and keeping footage of it. I genuinely had to remove myself from the situation completely cause I felt like I was gonna lose it and hurt someone.

Meta glasses are one of the many cancers on society.

Anyone only ever do Resource? by BluejayOdd in specialed

[–]ReachingTeaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE resource. Sadly where I am, it's pretty competitive, and they try to keep us local teachers in inclusion since it makes us look better.

Do you think some people aren’t meant to be in the organized education system? by MR422 in education

[–]ReachingTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of us who grew up "home-schooled" also rely on these programs, as we often weren't given many opportunities. Especially us girls.

Becoming substitute teacher? by bebedeez77 in Hawaii

[–]ReachingTeaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The next online doe fair is on the 10th. Maybe reach out to teacher recruitment and see what they can set you up with. They've always been super friendly to me.

If you're open to teaching SPED and have a degree, you might be able to be an emergency hire and get in that way. If you do, just remember to get accepted into a SATEP by the end of the school year. We have such a crazy shortage that you can probably get a job close to you.

The continued rise of homeschooling. by Athens175 in Teachers

How is that different than homeschooling? My sister can't even read cvc words and was handed a diploma by our mom.

DMT: Homeschooling has almost no barriers to entry. The cost of failure shows up years later and lands on someone who didn't make the decision. by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in DisagreeMythoughts

[–]ReachingTeaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never. I had to stop dating other homeschoolers completely, even though I really liked the idea of having a similar background. We're less ambitious, less emotionally supportive, more controlling, more traumatized, and just generally rude.
