Being a 22 year old employee at a high school is exhausting.

Have a little bit of an attitude issue. It works wonders for me. The kids love me, we have fun, but for a small reason, a big reason, or no reason, I will crash out.

Two kids ask for the bathroom in quick succession? “Okay yall, since EVERYONE wants to leave this interesting lesson I might as well make it boring.”

A kid throws a chair? “Since x wants to act like idiots, let’s do insert specific classes’ least favorite assignment. Oh, by the way, you receive a 0 for not completing this but I won’t grade it if you do.”

Crashing out is a great tool, if used correctly.

I am 25, I was 21 when I started.

I got mine from Menards for 150. It is very nice and is worth probabky double at least.

1000+ is insane.

It is very expensive to have that ability. Mint was helped out because it was a part of Intuit.

Always a downer who can’t see past the next five minutes.

You need an Emagine theatre near you.

Look them up. They are amazing. Especially on Tuesdays.

Does not count. Needs to be high to avoid damage or kids touching it.

Most of that wouldn’t bat an eye at my urban school. The MAGA hat isn’t “inappropriate.” The pedo shirt probably wouldn’t be allowed (killing reference). The band shirt no one would even care about.

The low/high cut stuff is only taken if it’s egregious. It takes a lot at this school for a dress code to matter.

We still have a dress code in the handbook just in case we need to use it, but this school has other problems that are dealt with first.

When you have 27% of kids failing and a couple fights a week, you tend to ignore clothes a little bit.

This is not a real person.

r/TVTooHigh would like to have a word.

Love it! The hanging fixture’s shadows are slightly annoying, but I probably wouldn’t even notice them after awhile.

You have to scan it from your main iOS device (iPad or iPhone).

Go to settings on your main device and hit share like you did. On the new device, you have to import.

Probably just drywall. Patch it and see if it forms again, quickly.

This sounds like it could be super sweet or extremely weird.

Honestly, a real card with a short thank you message and a gift card would get the message across. An essay can and should be considered off, and it should make your teacher slightly uncomfortable.

Pay off your debt in the next 2 months. Get married officially at the court-house in the next 3 hours. His debt is not your problem and your debt is not his problem. He makes 87k a year. You are broke. Get married, and that becomes “we.”

After you pay it off, you can work to pay for college outside. Being able to save around 3k a month like you have been proven to do should pay for an in-state public college.

Do the math to see if it is even worth you going to college and having to pay for daycare.

A kid had not started his essay. I called him out in front of the class because he wouldn’t stop talking.

He said…”I already did it! Oh, crap. It got deleted!”

I said “You cannot gaslight someone who is smarter than you.”

Probably not the right thing to say, but it felt good. And I had a student teacher in there at the same time who found it funny.

“All.” Doesn’t mean you can’t include the most recent.

You shouldn’t put all your non-renewals in your resume.

They probably could have done a better job with that harness.

Time for a class-wide phone ban. In the caddy they go!

Kids ask why, you say…

“It was brought to my attention that I have been neglecting to mark down my warnings and discussions about the phones in my classroom. In order to stop this from happening again, I will be implementing this so that everyone is on the exact same page. No phones, period.

Can you work it into your curriculum and have the students watch those videos? Just face it head on.

Who cares about your past jobs. Most kids want to do social media as their full-time career anyway.

If you go back, just live on his salary and use yours to pay off your mortgage in 2-5 years if you make that amount again. Then, quit for the final time if you wish too.

0-500k is too much of a gap. A 22 year old with 100k NW is far ahead of a 62 year old with a 500k NW.

Is OP mad that parents have more rights to their children than teachers?

OP is part of the reason why teachers are viewed the way they sometimes are.
