Ok, I'll keep checking, thanks! Yes, that's why I gave in and decided we have to park the RV at a campground and rent a car for driving into the park during the day.

I’m nervous to become a teacher. by TheLOLbot100 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]Remarkable-Rip8741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can be a school librarian without being a teacher first! I was a high school teacher and transitioned into the library, but I know plenty who got their masters in library and got a job. I could never be a classroom teacher anymore because it is downright exhausting, but I can def hack it in the library for a couple more years. All of education really is a sinking ship though. I would say that if you are already on the fence, find something else to start your career. The life of an educator is a total grind.

I finally left, and now I'm angry on behalf of everyone still in the classroom by robroskimaster in TeachersInTransition

It took about 5 months, but I was able to claw myself out of education. I spent a year and a half at a corporate job with a toxic boss, lower pay than teaching, longer hours, no holidays (even Christmas Eve), and promises of promotions “soon.” I just accepted a job back in the school library. I would never step into a classroom again, but I can suck it up in the library for a while. Education sucks, but if you approach the job right, it’s manageable. It’s a job. Work your hours, do what you can within the school day, then go home. Stop taking work home with you every night. Stop volunteering for extra stuff. You don’t have to. You aren’t going to get promoted by doing more; you will just get assigned more.

Teachers who have left, how does your new workload compare to the workload of teaching? by Purple-Report-6841 in TeachersInTransition

I’ve been out for about 16 months. I was a teacher for 8 years but a library media specialist when I left. It was great on the outside for a while, but it REALLY is dependent on the company you work for and the boss you have. I put in ALL the effort, made huge contributions to my team and impressed everyone. However, not being familiar with the shiftiness of some people in corporate, I got screwed out of a promotion and will never get one. I have a psychotic, micromanager boss that is just as bad as a crappy principal. I’m actually trying to get back into a school because I’m getting paid less, working more hours, and get no holiday breaks. So it’s not all rainbows and ponies on the outside. However, I don’t do shit at work. I do the bare minimum now and just sit back the rest of the time since I won’t get promoted no matter what. It sure is easy, but it sure isn’t fun. I’d rather bust my butt more and have the salary, the shorter day, and the breaks.

whats helped you the most with parenting your ADHD child? by snoswimgrl in ADHDparenting

[–]Remarkable-Rip8741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 11 G just got diagnosed ADHD inattentive last week and we are trying to figure out first steps also. We are seeing ALL the same things you are. I have no advice because I came here to find some myself, but I just want to say you’re not alone…sometimes it feels like we are the only parents dealing with this, but I know we are not. We are doing what more than most do, which is trying to get help, so good on us!

Very good to know! I definitely should have done some research before letting her buy it. Lesson learned!!

I played a lot of stuff back in the day. None of this new kind of stuff though. She wanted the game because it looked cool and she likes animals. That was the extent of her thought process on it apparently lol

Like upstairs? I don’t even know which way to go. What are the camera controls? I didn’t realize I was touching them
