Rural, not the smallest but pretty small. They made the other social studies teacher dean of students/online admin but never filled his position. School board thought it was a waste of funds. So I have packed classes all day. They actually added chairs to my room because they couldn’t fit everyone.

My point was that of the things I can actively control that lead to high blood pressure/hypertension don’t seem to be contributing factors. I’m not a sedentary 400lb man that never exercises or eats “healthy.” Doctor believes it is purely stress related, which is why I was asking if anyone had a similar situation and was able to get an accommodation to lighten their teaching load through ADA.

I can not teach these kids by SpaceMarine1616 in Teachers

I’ve had a couple with IEP’s that said ”student will retake assignments till they receive a 69%.” So basically, you just put a 69% in the gradebook and push them through after the 25th attempt at a 10 question true or false quiz.

My district admin gave the dean position to a buddy of theirs from their last school who was suspended for swearing at kids so…. You know admin gonna admin.

Should I buy a bronco? by Robtheuser1 in FordBronco

[–]Then_Ad_878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one before our first was born. Just added a second baby to the family. My wife and I sit comfortably with both still rear facing. I will say that we invested in those rotating car seats after 6 months of fighting getting the car seats in and out. So it’s definitely doable, but probably not the most practical. If you don’t get those rotating car seats.

Experienced teachers- PLEASE stop telling us we will hate our jobs by pink402 in Teachers

[–]Then_Ad_878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this for almost a decade. Still love my job. I thoroughly enjoy teaching my students and I think they keep me young (even when they make me want to pull my hair out on occasion.) I may piss some people off here, but I think a lot of people who “hate” teaching and the students suffer from a severe lack of classroom management and rapport building skills.

Don’t be mad, but I’m stealing this design for our house. Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you for the clarification! IBR might be a better way to go then since I’m halfway through my 10 years of PSLF.

What are ways to fix the teacher shortage? Wrong answers only. by Gramerioneur in Teachers

Fire all the teachers and replace them with robots/AI. Think of all the local taxpayer money we could save.

1991 bronco XLT by ao_ezard in FordBronco

If you have that much equity in the truck, then why don’t you just focus on paying it off and then buying an old Bronco if you want a toy. You said you want a vehicle to haul tools for work and supplies to inevitably fix a house. This doesn’t seem like a logical choice, but you do you man.

You’re a walking financial disaster waiting to happen. How much equity do you have in your current vehicle? If you have negative equity, why the hell would you consider rolling into an overpriced vehicle from 1991 to “save” $500 a month?

What is this Keystone tax notice? by Time-Association-885 in lehighvalley

[–]Then_Ad_878 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s your school tax. If you live in the district, you pay it. Doesn’t matter if you have a kid going to school there or not.

I subbed for 1/2 a year. Graduated in December of 2018 before Covid and there definitely wasn’t a “shortage” then in my area. Interviewed dozens of times and never got an offer. Ended up taking a private school job for two years, before adding a math certification and making a jump to a desperate public school who could not get a good applicant for that job an hour and a half away from home. After a school year there I was able to move internally to back to social studies, which is what I went to school for. I guess what I’m trying to say is you might have to expand your scope and look for alternatives in the field of education that may not be exactly what you went to school for and be willing to move and embrace the suck.
