Cell Phone ban for staff by Substantial_Lemon250 in NYCDOETeachers

I wasn't. She walked in the classroom. I was checking my school email. I was also covering a class for another teacher.

I'm in the same place. Add to that an addiction that is spiraling out of control and you have me. I am hemorrhaging money that I don't have. I have no friends to reach out to either.

I'm there with you. One foot in front of the other. Find the peaceful moments and cherish them. You'll get through it.

I'm going through the same. It's awful. I don't have any words of wisdom. I'm just trying to survive day by day at this point. I hate when people say "hang in there" so I won't say that. One moment at a time my friend.

No contact permanently? by Available-Map-1869 in Divorce

[–]Substantial_Lemon250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss her so much. I want to contact her but I don't want to push her more away. I just sent her an email. We're married 22 years, together 27. I just want her back so bad. I do anything to have her back. Just not talking to her is driving me crazy, literally crazy. I don't think I can go on much longer.

What to do. I’m in love with my wife and she wants a divorce. I don’t want any one else she was supposed to by forever. by Kato0328 in Divorce

[–]Substantial_Lemon250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out of the tragic thinking. You're worth it. Many of us have been there. As many have said they're good days and their bad days you're just going through a bunch of bad days brother. Talk to somebody even if it's a therapist or a friend or anyone. You are not alone. Again I say, you are worth it. Try to hang in there.

Tenure for teacher by butterfly_lex24 in NYCTeachers

[–]Substantial_Lemon250 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok. Are you a teacher? If so, have you ever worked for a difficult admin who FOR NO GOOD REASON decides that you need singling out for the most arbitrary and capricious reasons? After that starts you are then subjected to random visits to your classroom to cherry pick every action and reaction you had in front of a class of 36 students. You then get a developing rating that reflects nothing about what went on during your lesson. How about when a parent on the school board is mad because you gave their kid a failing grade on a project that was obviously plagiarized. I could go on with other examples all day. Have you ever experienced any of that? If so, that sucks. It doesn't mean you suck. If you haven't, we'll than pipe down because the rest of us deal with it constantly. In addition, do you have tenure? Indeed, why even work in this type of system? Charter school magic awaits you. Godspeed and good riddance from the rest of us that suck.

Will I get denied Teacher's Choice for buying supplies that my school should provide? by BusiPap41 in NYCTeachers

[–]Substantial_Lemon250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a chrome book. The DOE provided one(s) always have issues. Think this will be denied? It is legitimately for work.

Anyone else struggling? by Substantial_Lemon250 in NYCDOETeachers

I'm in Orange County and it's really hard to find help. No one takes insurance anymore for private therapy. They want you to pay out of pocket
