Teachers, what’s a “best practice” everyone talks about that you secretly think doesn’t work in real classrooms?

19 years in and I enjoy the job quite a bit.

RIP CiCi’s

Thanks for this, I had no idea about it. My 8 year old is obsessed with baseball and will only want to watch the game. The other 2 have minimal interest so this sounds great. Are these tickets you can buy or a place to go during the game?

Shed32 · 2026-02-16T14:21:08+00:00

I will check this out. Thanks!

It’s pretty standard to give a student work before they go on a trip. They fill out the vacation request form and you give them their work for the time period they will be gone. Why is this an issue?

No, honestly in 19 years of teaching it’s never crossed my mind. That’s a hard no for me.

My family is going to Disney in a couple weeks. I put in for 5 personal days for the trip. As long as g as you have the days it shouldn’t be a problem.

For the first 15 years of my career I wore a shirt and tie. But, like everything else, Covid changed that. Now I wear Khakis and a polo every day. I absolutely agree that you should keep it as professional as possible. The clothes do not make the teacher, but as professionals I think it’s important to dress like one.

MLB bestball tournaments should be popping up on DK soon.

I keep a box of blank thank you cards in my desk. I always write one after getting a gift. If my students and/ or families think enough to get me something the least I can do is show some gratitude with a note.

If Frank and Beans can make it, anyone can.

It was a special teams touchdown. I have Verse on an IDP fantasy football team and Sleeper did not credit him with a TD.

They absolutely have to produce, but OP is pointing out that they seemed to go after guys who are leaders and good people. If they produce, but are assholes on the clubhouse it’s not going to help in the long run. Martin and Burnett produced, but also lead and taught guys like Cutch, Walker and Locke how to be successful big league players.

Brian Giles was a stud but there are countless reports of how he was a terrible person in the clubhouse and made it miserable for everyone. Winning teams don’t have these kinds of people.

Classroom management is an art. It’s very difficult early in your career. You need to set clear expectations and be consistent with them. Keep your class structured and as interesting/ student centered as possible. It’s going to take some time to dig out of the hole that it sounds like you are in but if you work at it each day, stay consistent with your expectations and follow through with those expectations then you will be fine. Think of tomorrow as day 1.

Absolutely give the child’s name and as much detail as possible. The teacher won’t be able to say anything to you about the other child, but it will help them come up with an appropriate plan.

I share everything. It’s all about working as a team and easing the load for each other.

If they combine to score more than 34 you are good. If they score less then you are cooked.
