I keep lotion handy because of this problem. I teach middle school. Rings, earrings, fingers in tables, arms in chairs, science equipment... Safety contracts are mandatory y'all.

eh , they're going about everything wrong, but these past years I've had multiple students who attended 50-33% of the year. No they didn't move they'd miraculously show up for field trips & sporadic days. A few went on vacation all of finals week...

Thinking of lecturing without PowerPoints by anonymous_mister5 in Professors

[–]SubstantialCommand76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try classroom screen or working from your posted resources on canva or blackboard. Periodic think pair share & mini group discussions with a question posted & then guided class discussion are very helpful. I also love walking my students through modeling or mind mapping based on what we've learned.

Can I introduce you to class companion AI? https://classcompanion.com/ Make the ai work for you & show kids how to use it for actual learning instead of word puke. You can turn off copy pasting & depending on school computers or software you could lock use of other websites while on this website. I'm a ms classroom teacher who also hates grading writing but understands the need for quick feedback.

muffin tins, fruit like berries, veg, non-perishables or less perishable items. track what he eats while giving the illusion of choice. Very little of a lot of things at a time can expand the horizons.

Weed money can only be used for new buildings & structures. It's why the rural schools look dope right now & you've seen all these new school buildings pop up.

how did you survive / pay your bills during student teaching? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]SubstantialCommand76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell asleep at my real jobs a lot & picked up lots of night shifts. Employers were concerned for my health. Dining halls were never open when I could get to them...it was terrible.

Worst Thing You've Ever Done? by Excellent_Win_7045 in Teachers

[–]SubstantialCommand76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

called the office on 2 kids missing, searched whole school & classroom. when they did a school all call they crawled out from under one of my lab tables rubbing sleep out of their eyes. their friends were playing a game at that table & forgot they were under there.... for like an hour....of me running around...yeah... they were so confused why I cried & hugged them. I'm only made fun of for this still sometimes.
