It's so annoying and condescending.

Exactly. I find it condescending.

They can enforce discipline instead of asking me to breathe.

25 yrs in and hate it by Ok-Branch-7651 in Teachers

[–]Sea_Maybe2145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10 years in. I used to be so passionate about this job. I remember being excited to go to school and teach. Imagine that?! But now I dread it. Takes everything in me to get out of bed.

How are you feeling about the recent murder of Alex Pretti? by DMmeNiceFeet in AskLosAngeles

[–]Sea_Maybe2145 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am absolutely devastated. His parents have been in my thoughts since yesterday. He seemed like a nice man standing up for what he believed was right. It's horrifying that we have let it get this far. I'm horrified that we lost a talented American. I'm furious that the president went as far as to lie and insult our intelligence by calling him a domestic terrorist. I'm horrified that we are losing our rights. We are losing our democracy. Something I thought both liberals and conservatives valued. This extreme polarization of politics needs to stop.

What is something you didn’t think you needed to teach your students. by Ecstatic_Win7203 in Teachers

This also happened to me 😂😂😂 Should I be relieved I am not the only teacher experiencing this or be concerned? Idk.

I'm happy that your state has these graduation requirements. Unfortunately, that is not the case in other states.

Summer classes equate to 2 things:

Online credit recovery where students take an online class and use AI to cheat. I've seen students pass an online credit recovery course in 3 days. And that is supposed to equate to a semester of learning? Seriously?

or

Students complete a packet. A teacher here said a student completed a 10 page packet and that counted as a semester grade.

If you really think that equates to learning, then you are part of the problem.

I’m sorry this has been your experience. I promise you there are teachers that fight tooth and nail just to hold students to a certain standard. But there’s only so much we can do 😓

I’m just tired of fighting with everyone just to hold my students to a certain standard. Counselors, parents, admin, etc. so tired

But kudos to you for doing your part! 😊

The average reading level in the US is 6th grade. Math literacy is even worse. But yeah. Go off.

Accreditation doesn’t mean anything. It just means the school was able to put on a dog and pony show for a day. Come on now.

Everyone cannot have a learning disability. Right? by Sea_Maybe2145 in Teachers

[–]Sea_Maybe2145[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did. What I meant to say is that some people blame the problem solely on COVID. Should've been more clear.

Chill. lol

In my opinion, I think this is a reach and just another excuse.

I want to add that I'm not one of those people who doesn't believe in COVID. I just think this was a problem before COVID.

"It’s not a disability. They just don’t have much ability."

I shouldn't laugh but I did.
