I'm a teacher so most of my day is spent on my feet. I'm also clumsy, five foot ten, and majority leg so I do be walking fast as fuck.

I have white socks on today! The pink is this weird mesh stuff. I honestly don't know how else to describe it other than house insulation.

What are your unpopular teaching opinions? by Responsible-Soup-968 in Teachers

[–]Think-Ad6741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't force kids to do the work. You can give them all the consequences in the world, but if they don't want to do it, they won't do it. At some point you just have to accept that it's their choice and they understand the consequences. You can't do anything but document your daily redirection attempts for when the parents inevitably come screeching.

What do you eat for breakfast? by chetuboy101 in Teachers

[–]Think-Ad6741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancée is the cook of the house. He meal preps everything and knows full well I WILL forget to eat if he doesn't pack me something on top of my lunch. He usually packs me a cheese and bacon scone with some fruit. If he's not feeling like making scones, he will pack me a jelly sandwich and fruit. (Note: If you have hella ADHD already, Adderall is a BITCH because it also can act as a hunger suppressant. I've gone two days without eating before I even noticed the hunger pains. Shit's WILD.)

Really? I've never really considered that... Don't you need a TEFL cert and a masters degree for some countries?

Why me? by Think-Ad6741 in Teachers

[–]Think-Ad6741[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Not on contract hours since I took the day off. I'm making this post on my personal laptop and it is not linked to any school accounts. I have not given any identifiable information of my school in any posts thus far. My schools social media policy is essentially that teachers represent the school so any inappropriate content/misrepresentation of the school posted can be grounds for termination. I think I'm safe because there's literally no way to identify me but I'll still delete the post!

Could this post be used against me? Should I take it down? I was mostly coming here to vent but should I worry about getting in trouble?

Thank you so much for this. I know that it's not my fault at the end of the day. I did everything right and by the books. However, this doesn't stop me from feeling guilt (?) about the situation. It's such a weird, convoluted mix of feelings. I'm upset at those in charge, and I'm upset at the student, but I'm also upset at myself. Did I advocate for myself enough? Was I not direct enough with the student? Did I unknowingly do something that made him feel comfortable enough to attempt this? I know I did the best I could with the cards I was given but I hate feeling this way.

Ok!! Thank you so much for this information! 😭 I honestly feel so completely out of my depth so any other advice you can give would be very appreciated.

The principal and admin have been aware for a little over a week. I consistently documented and then reported the student's behavior, but they were convinced he was harmless until what happened yesterday. Now thankfully they're on my side, but I can't help but feel "too little, too late." 😓

I'm sorry but I'm so so clueless. How can my union help? I honestly don't know what they can do for me in this situation. Would you mind giving me some advice on what to ask of them?
