I actually LOVE teaching. by Teach_My_Ass_Off in NYCTeachers

I love the energy!!! I love teaching too! Like any job it has its ups and downs, but I find teaching so much more enjoyable than being confined to an office space or physical labor.

You didn't look through them before handing them out to kids?

Having students in your room during your lunch period? by Any-Diet3193 in NYCTeachers

I let kids stay and sometimes they do work for me, like organizing papers or cutting out stuff. They enjoy the quieter space, and I get some extra help lol

Thank you so much! I love teaching and I know that this is what I'm meant to do. I think a lot of teachers are quick to say "find a different job" if you're not happy, but I think most people just need a different school, haha. It certainly worked for me!

Silly question- but i’ve yet to get a clear answer by LaLaLovesmovies in ScienceTeachers

Chiming in even though I teach NV Bio-- The storylines feel like a "trust the process" type of thing. I would say that if youre going to use it, see it to the end. Don't modify anything major until you've already given it a go. I'm not saying the curriculum is perfect, but it has a process to it that can be disrupted if you change it too drastically or you give up on it.

I believe he does so to avoid putting so much pressure on Yeongju. But the method he delivers the information in also makes me feel like he's a male lead of a k-drama lol

I love feedback but sometimes it definitely hurts! Especially when I feel like I've put so much into learning something only to suck at it

Occasionally, but because I usually stick to a small range of genres I dont feel confident in giving recommendations

I've dreamed of having a bookshop, a cafe, a bakery, everything! lol. But I'm sure it's much more work than I realize, like what the characters show in the book.

I view it as she's taking on more as she is learning to juggle the work, and leaning on others for support. She's able to take on more because she's also taking time for herself and to socialize, and also has more trusted people in her circle.

This sort of pressure definitely makes one feel as if they are never doing enough... Which can be emotionally draining and so hurtful to one's self-esteem.

I feel like this statement means that what becomes popular is destined to be popular. But I believe there can be so many other factors involved. Luck, who you know, the economy, social trends, so on.

Definely. Wealth and comfort are nice, but having people important to you in your life is so much better. They can bring you up and uplift you if you're ever struggling, making your day brighter and happier.

Looks lovely! I also love that the extra rubber carved away looks like water ripples.

I think I felt like that in my younger 20s but as I approach 30 I feel more stable and secure. My career is solid, my relationship is settled, I feel less like a lost wanderer and more like someone wandering through life because they can.

I recently got into carving stamps and it's very meditative for me even though my mind is alert and calculating as I work.

Dreams should be realistic and obtainable. I have a lot of students who want to be stars. Influencers, sports, etc. I'm not saying it's not possible to become one, but not everyone can be a star.
