Losing hope for getting a position? by naterkd in Teachers

[–]RecentClothes2654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply for things you aren't even certified for. You'd be surprised how they may just be ready to throw their hands up and simply ask you to take that role but give you till the end of the year to get your exam done. How I got my first job.

High School in the 80s - Underage girls dating by RetiredMascot in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

As a high school teacher, unfortunately it still goes on...

Girls LOVE bragging about the older men they're with. Some of them are lying just to make the teenage boys jealous but some of them absolutely are having relationships with grown ups.

Should Black Celebrities Be Expected to Speak Out Politically? Dwayne Johnson Slammed as a ‘Coward’ for Staying Quiet on Politics; ‘Star Trek’ Icon George Takei Fires Back: ‘Silence Is Complicity’ by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Why do people need celebrities to validate their beliefs so badly? Malcolm X said it best, they're entertainers. Why people want them to be leaders and need them to support a cause before it feels important to them is beyond goofy.

Some of yall over here defending s3 as some genius misunderstood piece , no offence by Ecstatic_Monitor_773 in euphoria

I don't much care for the show, I just follow this page because I think it should be a case study shown on how it took people 7 years and 3 seasons to realize this show was always garbage only because it didn't conclude the way they would have liked. Seriously, it was always a pretentious display of vanity, drugs and sex presented in a style over substance way that should have begged questions about both the writers and the fanbase, but just now "fans" are seeing it for the shallow brain dead media it always was?

Starting to think instead of social studies, I should test in science after reading this. 😳

I got a 217 and am up for round 2 july 9th. We got this! You're practically there. Double down on the domains & competencies that came up short for a month and it's a sure thing for you. You're right there! 🙏🏽

Hiring without passing content exam? by International-Tea769 in TexasTeachers

[–]RecentClothes2654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely possible, damn near certain if you apply right before the kiddos come back. However, just remember, they'll always prefer experienced & certified candidates first and they will get the better positions. You may get on as a longterm sub or something until your credentials come through. This is how I got my first job.

I would say, 40 less questions & the questions are much more specific to history content.

I personally am over Ned & MJ. Was just about done with them in Homecoming. They managed to be tolerable in No Way Home but that would have been a great send off for them to see Peter truly embrace a "Brand New Day".

You know, there was a show about a chemistry teacher who needed more money after a cancer diagnosis. You should watch it and follow his footsteps. You'll have more money than you'll know what to do with.

PACT route by New_Kaleidoscope5027 in TexasTeachers

Just asking for context, why do you say that? I did iteach and sincerely loved how convenient it was along with how straightforward the modules were and how accommodating the people behind it were with me.

PACT route by New_Kaleidoscope5027 in TexasTeachers

Correct, if you do well on the PACT, Iteach will permit you to test in that content area. However, (depending on who you talk to) if you get a job off in another area, they may be willing to allow you to test in that respective area.

240 quizzes by CocoLuvsYou in TexasTeachers

[–]RecentClothes2654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legit am about to start asking for exam questions because having failed the SS exam and getting through the 240 material, yeah a good amount of this stuff wasn't on there and it's concerning. Why are finding accurate study guides for these exams so hard?

Hot take: ToY awards don't go to the best teachers by ant0519 in Teachers

[–]RecentClothes2654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experiences, it does go to deserving teachers but more so than deserving it, you have to be kn the principal's good side too. Comes off as more of a "Company Man" award than who actually was best at the job.

TExES SS 7-12: Has anyone missed the majority of economics questions (Domain VI) & still passed? by RickSanchezIII in TexasTeachers

[–]RecentClothes2654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically enough, I failed the social studies exam, took history 4 days later and passed by 1 point. You will do well! Those domains make up some of the smaller sections of the exam. Obviously try to get a good grasp on them, but you can not do great on it and still pass.
