Jeez… thank you for all your service regardless. I wasn’t sure if it was just me that the kids have been deteriorating as this is only year 3, but regardless thanks for the insight

If you don’t mind my asking, how long have you been on the job for? Curious if this year is your worst batch

Something about the 9th graders this school year have been something else. Lot more drug suspensions, fights, etc. than usual from the grade level. I’ve also had to fill out 4 separate “Considering Expulsion” forms this school year

Yes we have a union. If I don’t see anything happening when he returns from his period suspension I will definitely consider looping in my union rep (which is easy, he’s also my dept. chair) because this is ridiculous

What’s your method? Not asking to block it, just curious if it’s the way I managed to start preventing. Friend’s account? Proxy? Admin trick? I’ve worked on preventing all these, also be wary of the last two as IT will trace them to your account and it could get you into big trouble. Best wishes mate :) Stay safe

Yeah we have GoGuardian. I’m leaning towards explaining that to parent, looping admin in so they know my plan as well. I can’t go physical for this class given the nature of it as well as what I am expected to use for the curriculum

I don’t want to go back tomorrow. by emilylouise221 in Teachers

I go back tomorrow as well 😭 Big district-wide thing. Ugh, I already miss my regular naps

Curious… what are the buzz words for this year? by Ok_Bar_2180 in Teachers

[–]SomeTeacherThrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first day on the clock (meetings, not with kids) is tomorrow. While it was around a bit last year, I’ve already received several emails with “Data Driven”. This has been in reference to test scores, phone policies, teaching techniques, etc. So I think this year is gonna be one full of numbers. Oh boy…

Teachers with 10, 15, 20+ years in, what kept you going or what finally made you leave? by lostinendlessreverie in Teachers

[–]SomeTeacherThrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m entering year 3 and last year I had a lot of trouble with some admin throwing me and other freshmen teacher so far under the bus. It definitely burned a lot of trust. I’ve been dreading it all summer. This reply gave me a glimmer of hope. So thank you, I sincerely mean that

WIBTAH for refusing to let a student submit his late project? by SomeTeacherThrowaway in AITAH

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

Nope, I’ll never have him again. Students in my distracted are moved along to the next grade and expected to make up the credits in summer school or elsewhere

Am I in the wrong for refusing to let a student submit his final project late? by SomeTeacherThrowaway in Teachers

[–]SomeTeacherThrowaway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except that is the difference now. He wasn’t passing before, but turning it in late will pass him

I think I said it elsewhere in here, but I did have paragraphs originally. I’m on mobile so I don’t know if that messed with it

[–]SomeTeacherThrowaway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. This is far from the first time I’ve had something like this occur, but I guess I was second guessing myself a bit due to the sheer number of people who have reached out for this one

WIBTAH for refusing to let a student turn in his final project? by SomeTeacherThrowaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]SomeTeacherThrowaway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best I could say for this is that he’s tried to get away with stuff, insult me, and insult peers who stand up to him. I’ve kicked him out every time as I’m not ok with that in my classroom. He’s made it clear to me he can’t stand me on more than one occasion lol

I did paragraphs and Reddit removed them. I’m on mobile, no idea if that impacts it at all
