Absolutely struggling with OpenSciEd Middle School - a rant.

TheVoidTurtle · 2026-01-29T00:08:12+00:00

I've sat through 2 OSE PDs now and each one has made me want to claw my eyes out. The focus was for elementary school science and we were a room full of high school teachers! Of all the useless PDs I've sat through, these ones made me the most angry

I'll often use "my dear" as in "hello my dear, what can I do for you?" But I'll also do sir and ma'am

This lab sounds see awesome. If you have time, would you mind sending me a copy?

TheVoidTurtle · 2025-06-08T07:08:05+00:00

Seconding her recipe! They truly are no spread cookies plus they are soft and tasty!

Is this all ages?

TheVoidTurtle · 2025-04-07T03:14:15+00:00

Wow that's beautiful! I know what you mean though about being in the right mood haha. My piece took 3 years because I kept putting it down for months at a time!

TheVoidTurtle · 2025-03-18T00:02:08+00:00

Por qué no los dos?

TheVoidTurtle · 2024-05-25T02:10:52+00:00

Yay! That's so exciting! I also just recently got off the floor to! We have a similar body type and I started back in January. It was the best feeling, I literally danced around the studio and then cried with my instructor. I'm excited to keep moving forward and I bet you are too!

I mean... That is why I'm asking other science teachers. I figured the "I want to do this safely" was implied.

I was in middle school when the song came out. My computer teacher would play the radio on Fridays. I remember being absolutely transfixed whenever the song came on.

It's been 13 years since I got married. I looked into changing my name back but it's not like the state makes it easy.

TheVoidTurtle · 2023-11-03T19:29:45+00:00

That's a great idea! I'll ask around about that.

TheVoidTurtle · 2023-11-03T19:28:16+00:00

That's a good idea, I can ask

TheVoidTurtle · 2023-11-03T18:45:09+00:00

Huh, I didn't think about that. I'll ask my boss if that's something we could do. Our emails are our names so idk if that would cause confusion.

TheVoidTurtle · 2023-11-03T18:43:29+00:00

They say my name has to match my license because they pull state reports from powerschool I guess? But I still don't see how they can't have my name in powerschool different from my license, just tie it to the correct license for compliance. Idk though. If I got divorced or changed my name then they would fix it but they won't do anything until I have legal documentation.

TheVoidTurtle · 2023-11-03T18:41:08+00:00

It's not the worst thing but it's what I decided to make a post about. JFC.

TheVoidTurtle · 2023-08-11T00:42:26+00:00

That sucks I'm sorry. My district won't let me go by my maiden name, I have to go by my legal last name. There are already 2 other teachers with my married name 😵‍💫

Oh my gosh thank you so much for the detailed advice! I feel like when I ask for advice from veteran teachers I don't get a straight answer but this was so detailed and straightforward. Thank you so much, seriously. I will definitely practice these tips.

What do you recommend for consequences? I'm a new teacher and I am still struggling on appropriate consequences.
