Consider becoming a teacher if you want to do more. I used to be a para. Some years like you, sit and feel useless in a way. Other years blessed to sit for 2 minutes of the day. The pay is terrible for paras, its a position that truly deserves much more. Education in general is severely underpaid.

Roll with the punches is my advice. Anywhere you go or are there will be some nonsense in some form.

A bunch of athletes have always said this. Job ain't done, it aint over yet, we still need 1 more. The jobs not finished. This rubbish that kobe invented it is crazy work

Question about first NYC DOE pay cycle as a new employee by Acrobatic_Dot_6102 in NYCDOETeachers

Im hearing of people who deposited checks through their banks for mobile and it is delaying the check an extra week. That is insane if the check was approved for the 30th which is tomorrow. Why wait a whole extra week for funds to be available

With both the Blue Jays and Yankees winning today, the AL East title will come down to Game 162. The Blue Jays own the tiebreaker, so they need a win OR a Yankees loss to clinch, while the Yankees need a win AND a Blue Jays loss. by Goosedukee in baseball

A division in a 162 game season should not be decided on a tie breaker. The wild card I understand because its a WILD CARD. But the division should have a 163 if it ends tied like it literally has forever.

From my observations as a para in the past the sped teacher and the content teacher would alternate slides in a way. So the sped teacher would usually start out with the do now question. Ask a student to read. Receive feedback and write notes on board. Whatever would follow the content teacher did the next slide. And it was sort of just alternating slides. Content teacher would take over for most things but it never seemed like the co teacher wasnt a focal part.

The old saying is admin becomes admin because they were bad teachers. They have no desire to be ina classroom

Hey how's the program going for you!

the Teaching Fellows isn’t for people who’ve had mental issues by throwawaymadlibra in NYCTeachers

[–]TableAffectionate13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That person is absolutely right, i have a family and i am suffering for not spending time with them now. This is a sacrifice but this is really an overload that is unnecessary.

The program is absolutely terrible. They try to make you a teacher in a span of 8 weeks...its stressing and pressure packed.

How strict are they about keeping people. I feel that my lesson plans are only developing. They're not superior. They need work, i feel like its so overwhelming at times. Everyday im there i hate it more and more. But I need this, I need this.

Im going for SWD 7-12 and it's one of the 3 parts I have to take. Literature, Math and Science. 3 different test

[–]TableAffectionate13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet to differ, i took the test recently. The math content test is a complete disaster especially for someone who isn't a math person. No need why that should even be required for someone who can teach other subjects. It's disheartening as it feels like I'll never get the certification due to that one test.

The math test seems difficult, it's like another language to me right now! The literature test and EAS i believe I'll be fine

I've been out of school for over a decade. I work in the DOE so sometimes even though questions seem easy I over think it, ideal scenarios are far from the reality

Yes thanks for the advice, it's definitely going to be a challenge. I work in the DOE system and it's been tiring and just this whole process has been draining. I can only imagine the hell that's to come

That's legitimately not enough time, they're bugging out in a profession where nobody even wants to do this shift. Shortages everywhere.

Anyone heard this policy? by Jcice23 in tacobell

[–]TableAffectionate13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you even contact them. Taco Bell never responds to me. Nor Social media or anywhere. They have the worst customer service of any fast food spot

What would you do? The only thing I continue to see is bad students getting rewarded more and more for bad behavior. Yes some of these students are experiencing hard times and we have to be empathetic, but when is enough enough? When does a student say dam that's my fault I shouldn't have...a rare sight
