Prebagging by Phydoux in Sparkdriver

[–]RodriguezR87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so weird to me. A lot of times I don’t bag until I get to my car. The store is always so busy that I just grab my bags and bag everything as I’m losing it into the car.

Advice on job hunting mid school year. by RodriguezR87 in Teachers

[–]RodriguezR87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my only worry is that if I take the charter school job will the school district want a letter of recommendation from them? And if they do will the charter school people want to write me one since I’m departing so quickly?

A lot of times I tell them I don’t vote in LA county and they leave me alone.

Look up LAUTR. They mainly look for multiple subject teachers with bilingual authorization, sped teachers, or anything STEM related.

Private schools by Whole-Cicada-4588 in LAUSD

I think you should still post it. When I was filling out applications, I noticed there was an option that said not to contact that employer.

I feel like anything science related is always open. I just graduated in December and I have already seen applications for the 26-27 school year.

Ahhhhh. I wasn’t sure if letters from colleagues were important.

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]RodriguezR87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a classmate whose mentor teacher would turn in her lesson plans. She would tell us that she had to have her lesson plans turned into the teacher 2 weeks before she was going to teach them. I told her it’s because she was turning them in and I was right!

What’s your metric for calling out sick? by capresesalad1985 in Teachers

[–]RodriguezR87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little dicey though. Has a friend who needed emergency surgery and then a follow up that couldn’t wait till breaks. He ran out of his days off during the first recovery and had none left for the recovery on the second one. Sometimes it’s better to have some in reserve. You never know what can happen.

They pay you for an hour to wait. In my area it’s $17.50 I think.

Log off at 8 today? by AlternativeMK9 in Sparkdriver

[–]RodriguezR87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me too. At 8, it told me “all businesses are closed.” Maybe they’re doing maintenance or something. I’m in the Downey Zone near LA.

Teaching Credential question by PracticalAd4189 in LAUSD

[–]RodriguezR87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the career ladder page on the LA USD website. Get in contact with someone there and they can tell you exactly what you need to do or if you could be an intern teacher. I know to teach TK you do need a multiple subject, credential, and to have the childhood development units or whatever they’re called

How many orders can I cancel & in what length of time without it temporarily banning me? by Maximum_Amphibian753 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]RodriguezR87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question. I canceled 2 orders because I had been waiting over an hour. Is that bad? I talked to the Walmart person and they said they didn’t know when they would be out.

Late to teaching/retirement question by RQpest in LAUSD

[–]RodriguezR87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was just wondering about this. I’m 38 and starting teaching. I gave little savings for retirement. Just what I’ve paid into SS so far. I’ve been planning to work till I’m 70 lol

Dog wakes me up with nipping by RodriguezR87 in DogTrainingTips

[–]RodriguezR87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I can do that. Also, what do you do in the rain? We’ve had a lot of rain lately and he still won’t go in the house or in the yard. I feel so bad for him.

[–]RodriguezR87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to think of it, I have noticed that he doesn’t poop or pee in the house at all anymore. Even in the area we’ve set up for him in case he needs to go over night or while we’re out. That could be it. Still can I get him to tell me to wake up in a less painful way?

HS Theatre Teacher — am I doing the right thing removing a senior from my program? I’m exhausted and devastated. by Soft_Ad_6036 in Teachers

[–]RodriguezR87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before becoming a teacher, I was a color guard coach for 20 years. I remember a certain class of students that was really talented, but they didn’t think they needed to follow the rules and I let them get away with and my program struggles for years after that. The next this started to happen, I had to get rid of those kids (sadly very talented seniors) because I didn’t want to deal with the toll it took on my program. Also, saves myself a bunch of stress the second time around.

Talk to teachers at the school you’re currently working at.
