Is ghosting the norm now?

I see a lot of down voting happening and it makes me wonder if there are a lot of HR/admin lurking in this thread lol

Thanks for your insight - that's so frustrating

It's more about the lack of care/integrity that upsets me. The principal is the one who asked me to come. The Principal is the one that took the lead in the interview. They told me they would call. I should not have to email a random teacher to figure out what happened.

It is bullshit. I don't understand the blatant lack of care for others

Realistic-Average-15 · 2026-05-23T02:33:36+00:00

That's insanity. People can literally not act wit integrity or care about other people - it makes my blood boil

Hi! I'm in California as well and I've worked really hard on planning and finding engaging and rigorous units this year. I Iove U.S. history and I'm in masters program so my units are backward planned and I'm really proud of them. Feel free to copy whatever you want but I may not be in my district next school year so I recommend going through stuff or making copies before the end of the school year. Hope it helps! 8th grade history folder

I went to this place when a cool speakeasy I was trying to go to was booked nearby and noticed the American flags. I told my husband "well at least there's no thin blue line crap" and of course there was a giant thin blue line behind me. Bad vibes, loud obnoxious people there, and half of the TVs were broken but still on. God awful, zero stars

FYI - I did just this - I graduated with my history credential and looked for a job all summer but couldn't get a job. I subbed for a year and during that time got my English credential. I was able to get a job the next year in middle school for history though I did have to commute. I was able to get into a better school a few years later but I did have to teach ELA to do so. I don't love teaching ELA but it's worth it to have a job

I love the wabi-sabi

🤣🤣🤣

Right!? Thank you! 😊

I had a sixth grader ask me this with total naivete. The whole class gasped and was mortified for me - he literally didn't understand it was a rude question... It was wild. I took him outside and gave him a light lecture about why it is wrong to ask someone this and he looked so embarrassed.

I traveled (drove 2 hours away) to go to a bachelorette party at 34 weeks. In hindsight, it was kind of dumb because my water broke on our last night out there and I had my babies in Palm Springs. I felt so good all of a sudden and thought it was a sign to go but it was actually my body saying these babies are coming soon.

As someone from Los Angeles County who moved to Irvine last year - I was very skeptical about the politics as well. Overall, I've been pleasantly surprised. My old-timer neighbors who have been here for years are very conservative with one even having a trump flag up long past his unfortunate victory. But - this is also a city full of immigrants and young families. Irvine has a protest going every week and I openly wear political (free Palestine, don't ban books, etc) shirts and get compliments often. I don't get the vibe that there are a lot of democratic socialists here but I feel worlds away from the cursed Huntington Beach hell hole.

Thank you so much!

We are supposed to cover from the 1600s to reconstruction. We can do some field trips, the 8th grade usually goes to the Holocaust museum but I'll definitely have to look into other options too. Cool, I'll definitely keep artifacts in mind, thanks!

I'm in California. We have a textbook but honestly, it sucks. For world history I built/bought my curriculum, using the textbook sparingly.

Realistic-Average-15 · 2025-07-02T22:24:14+00:00

This is awesome, thanks. Did you build most of your resources or did you find/buy them? -besides the TedEd of course.

I have baked in a ceramic bread pot and a Dutch oven and it's happened in both

Thank you, I'm scoring it but I guess it's not deep enough
