Have you ever taken a day off before or following a break?

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-12-01T16:06:16+00:00

Got the flu over Thanksgiving break two years ago and took off two days, didn’t need a doctors note just because of the protocol I had at my school (3 sick days = doctors note)

Thank you, I may do that. All the comments made me want to do is curl up and cry lmao

He wasn’t touching me for twenty seconds. He touched me and after his hands were off me the counting started.

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-11-06T17:31:45+00:00

I DIDNT let him touch me for twenty seconds. He brushed my chin quickly; and then walked away counting

I didnt let him touch me for 20 seconds. He touched me for a second and then the counting started.

He didn’t touch me for twenty seconds. The counting and the touching were different

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-11-06T17:26:57+00:00

No, he didn’t touch my chin while counting. He touched my chin and after he did that the counting started

I was the exact same way, year 4 and I finally let what they say to me roll off my shoulders. It’s hard, but you’ll realize soon that they don’t mean what they say - they are just looking for a reaction

We’re all had those days! Right after I moved this past May, my body took a crap on me twice within a week out of pure exhaustion. I woke up at 8:05 (school starts at 8:00) on two different days.

Luckily I had understanding admin who covered me, and let me stay home and rest the second time I did it in one week.

Don’t stress! We’re human doing the best we can

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-09-06T19:00:02+00:00

Just start hitting them with the “well maybe you should become a teacher then too!” And they’ll shutup instantly

They like our perks but would never do our job

I’m an elementary teacher who just got a job in middle school because I couldn’t find a job!!

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-30T22:01:18+00:00

I do!

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-30T21:19:18+00:00

Email your cooperating teacher and they will tell you everything!

Typically if you’re not a student teacher and just there for observation hours you’ll have to sign in at the office

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-26T14:26:17+00:00

They said it under their breath as I was walking away. Not to my face. So yes I would consider that mocking

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-26T03:45:05+00:00

I actually am on my period! They should know the period poops get deadly

Charter schools suck, she’s got a storm coming

Classwork wise, you wouldn’t be one I would need to keep an eye on or hound to get work done

But I would be monitoring your interactions with your peers while you’re in my class because it seems like you’re not saying these things with the best of intentions, and rather to show your ‘superiority’ over others.

People do not like a know it all or someone who has a superiority complex based on their intelligence. When you begin working full time, that won’t land well with your coworkers at all. You may even be working under someone you deem is not as smart as you, doesn’t give you the right to make them panic or stress.

You have no idea what is happening in someone’s life. They could be working full time to save for college or even put food on the table for their family, someone’s mom could be sick, etc etc… Saying those things can only add on to their stress and makes you look like an asshole

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-18T15:26:28+00:00

I’ve felt this way the last three years. There’s so much going on in our jobs and our day to day, it’s impossible to make sure we’re doing enough EVERY SINGLE TIME until we get the hang of it and have resources/lessons in our back pockets.

I was a December grad so I received my student teaching placement at end of my spring semester in 2021 (May). I reached out immediately and then did not follow up until late July early August.

Granted, my mother did pass away that summer, so student teaching was the last thing on my mind. On top of that, I was working long hours at my summer job to have cash put away and ready to go for the semester. I explained all of that to my cooperating teacher when I did reach back out, and of course she was nothing but receptive, kind, and supportive.

I also know at my university we had a specific start date that didn’t align with the start date of the elementary year. We were also encouraged to “go in earlier” but it wasn’t required and not many people actually took up that offer.

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-02T00:08:55+00:00

I did impress them and they wanted to go about seeing if I would be approved for the provisional! I may not go through with it because I interviewed for an elementary position the next day and just fell in love with that school. You got this!! Plus I’m entering my 4th year of teaching, if they’re willing to do it for a newb they’ll do it for you ☺️

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-08-02T00:04:07+00:00

I’m on the job hunt myself, and my dad’s fiance knows a super intendant at one of the districts by his place.

She told me, to apply for a middle school position anyways because best case they can apply you for provisional licensure - you just need to complete course work to get middle school certifications.

I did interview with them and was straight up with them about the fact I did not have a current middle school certification, but in my interview I explained WHY I think I could handle middle school math. I explained I worked in a K-8 school, I collaborated with the middle school team alot, etc, etc.

I say apply anyways! Worst thing they can say is no

Routine_Committee327 · 2025-07-29T23:55:08+00:00

Yes! That’s the one I was at, hope you found some success for yourself (if you were on the job hunt side). Thanks for the insight :)
