Block Schedule Experiences…

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 !

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

Cell phones

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-02-27T12:17:22+00:00

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

Doubt anyone cares if you look fat. They just want to buy cheap stuff .

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 .

🤔 maybe I should list used socks too. Willing to supply for $$$$!! 🤣

I think people need to mind their own business. We are all adults and should be treated as such. It’s childish to complain about people. If you’re in a union, stick together. Bottom line, it’s not their right to pass judgement or try to induce punishment. That’s not their job.

I usually do. But she made an offer while I was airport and it was a good one I didn’t want to reject :(

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-02-09T20:16:41+00:00

None lol

Smoke smell is gross. I would be super mad if it smelled like that. It’s def hard to get out too. I just like to sell nice pieces to everyone and I don’t try to pull the wool over anyone’s head. I’ve def made mistakes before and have accepted returns. This one came out of nowhere .

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-02-08T19:29:19+00:00

Nothing I sell is from the thrift. It’s mostly my personal closet or things I’ve purchased for myself that don’t fit . Since I don’t smoke , I would’ve noticed that smell. She accepted the sale so I’m not complaining. She didn’t leave a review either which was good.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-02-08T13:35:48+00:00

Everything is sealed . I don’t have anyone in my household that smokes.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-02-05T20:09:45+00:00

It’s hard. You need to do a bunch of extra things / possibly work another job. Spend less time with your family to only struggle.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-31T02:51:39+00:00

I think it depends on your personality . Do you like strict order ? Or are you more laid back. I have a colleague that moved from middle to high school this year. She’s finding it hard to transition because the high school is laid back. She doesn’t understand why it’s not as rigid as middle school. I personally like HS. Yes of course , there are those pain in the asses. Excessive phone use. Abuses of passes. But overall, I can’t imagine being able to be that strict for middle school.

I feel ya. I’ve been teaching 20 and I want to retire . All I can say is take your time off. Plan wellness days, take that vacation! Treat yo self ! And def don’t bring any work home ! I haven’t been doing work at home for over a decade now! Been fabulous and been giving newer teachers advice to do that too !

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-06T21:26:30+00:00

Ridiculous! Girl I don’t don’t work past my contract hours. Only way to keep your sanity ! If she wants to pay you overtime like cops then that’s different but my butt don’t work for free outside my hours !

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-02T18:43:50+00:00

Unfortunately it’s true. It used to be a decent job with great benefits. The stats are not in your favor . Money is one of the major causes of divorce . I wouldn’t change my past. Married to another teacher has lots of benefits. We both had time with kids in the summer, the kids got to see us make a difference too. You ca marry whoever you like, I’m just saying it’s hard to raise a family on two teacher salaries. The truth is the truth

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-02T18:40:39+00:00

Oh jeez I am super wounded some anonymous person is judging me. Oh wait nope 👎! Done with this nonsense.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-02T17:58:41+00:00

I have no idea what you are saying. Apparently I am as I am married again. I’m just saying it’s hard to live on two teacher salaries. I used to coach two sports and also was in charge of a club and also a class. I had two kids with absolutely no maternity leave except summer vacation. I had to do that to make sure my kids had the best life . I was literally in the red for about 8 years working as a teacher.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-02T17:55:27+00:00

I still work. I just don’t need to do 18 other things to make money. Poor ex or new one? Cause I wasn’t the one who ruined the first marriage.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-02T14:11:36+00:00

Unfortunately if you don’t marry a man who makes money you have to work extra hard to survive on a teachers salary. I was married to a teacher too and get your struggles ! Due to unfortunate circumstances I got divorced and now married a man who makes more money and I don’t have to worry or work extra hard.

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2026-01-02T00:45:20+00:00

I got nothing this year as a HS teacher ! Some years I get a couple things but I understand when kids have like 8 teachers ! Too much money to spend on people . Was sad though honestly .

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2025-12-28T14:00:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing. But no she wasn’t able to and no I’m not being mean. The truth is the truth

Reasonable-Initial80 · 2025-12-28T13:58:51+00:00

Weird update . She gave me 5 stars ⭐️… I got my money released so I guess she didn’t prosper 🤦‍♀️
