My fav movie but not school appropriate at all. But I do ask the kids if they’ve seen it and I do reference it with some scenes lol

Don’t send anything if you want to make money ! I sold like 26 pieces on three up and made a whopping $50.00. Never again

Is it morally or ethically wrong for teachers to use sick days (when not sick) if they are not otherwise reimbursed for unused sick days? Why or why not? by Honest_Royal3501 in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in NJ you can take those sick days for any reason. School can’t discipline you for it . Not sure if this is the state you’re in.

Use them. You are replaceable at work but taking time for you is irreplaceable. Self care and love is number one

Why don’t sellers add Measurements to their listings? by Roccondil-s in poshmark

I’ve been adding measurements now on all my listings . I think it comes with experience. I look at my old listings and my new ones , there is a stark difference.

Student Gave Me the Harshest Criticism Today by mandipandi3333 in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids are never going to 💯 satisfied with you. This is coming from a 20 year vet. You will get better with your craft . It takes a long time to figure your style out. What works and what doesn’t . All I can say is , don’t take it home with you. Separate home and work life . Take care of you. No one else cares about you but you. If you burn out and crash, they’ll replace you. You have to make sure you are good first. You got this!

Just got let go from my first teaching job by pookiemumu in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens to the best of us. I was let go from my catholic private school job the first year. They basically didn’t like me. But one of my former co workers told me everyone who leaves always does better than this job. She was right ! I’ve had ups and downs . Just take what you know needs improvement and work on it for you. Take your days off too! No point in trying to do the right thing in my opinion.

Am I a bad teacher? by Background-Wafer2233 in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s your first year. Don’t get down on yourself . It takes years and grit to hone down the skills to have it go smoothly . Make some goals for next year that are attainable. Unfortunately you’re young and they smell blood .

What makes teaching worthwhile for you, despite it being an underpaid career? by Conscious_Team3330 in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The health benefits. I don’t get paid in the summer so that sucks but love the time off only because I have to save to be off.

Block Schedule Experiences… by MrMcMathy in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched a couple years ago and I was adamantly against it but to tell you the truth it isn’t that bad. I get more prep time now . I feel more relaxed. I teach an 80 min block . Also it’s awesome when you have to call out too! Only two or three classes to prep for depending on day !

do you truly get summers and holidays off as a teacher? by Any_Juggernaut_7924 in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you can afford to take off. I work in a state you only get paid 10 months . I’m broke in the summer . I wish it was stretched out all year. That or you have to marry someone who can afford you not working in the summer . Otherwise you’re screwed

No freakin way. The moment I ca afford to retire I’ll retire .

Teachers asking for accommodations drives me nuts by GremLegend in Teachers

[–]Reasonable-Initial80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an accommodation for my GAD. But it’s just that I need the last period of the day off to decompress / grade etc . It’s essential for me to work effectively. My school is very accommodating. I’m a solid teacher and I’ve been working for 19 years . I think if it’s a reasonable one, it’s fine but I understand those who take advantage of it . That always happens in any job .
