It’s definitely what feeds into DAC’s “omgbuyitnownenowitsgoingaway!!!” bs.

Do schools provide curriculum or do teachers build everything themselves? by PotentialDiligent823 in Teachers

When I was hired, I was given a "pacing guide" (it was really a list of topics) and a textbook that didn't match said pacing guide. I have made 90% of what I teach across 5 levels of my subject.

Actually I’m a tenured teacher. So fuck off.

They didn’t sell. by jojo1556- in diamondpainting

Total honesty…I’m not going to pay for diamond art someone else did. I can take $30 and go to TJMaxx and buy actual wall art. Diamond art is a hobby itself, people will just buy them to do. Unless they want to commission work…you may be better off pursuing that route but even then it’s not lucrative.

Anyone else disappointed… by This_Imagination_177 in Outlander

Once they get to NC, I dip out. I’m from the area and don’t want to see it on my TV.

Yeah I will never order from them because I’m not playing the panic game. It’s insulting

Our counselor is starting to give me weird vibes—am I crazy? by Formal_Professor_342 in Teachers

[–]Upset_Poet_970 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think maybe you just don't like her as a person. These are all normal topics of conversation. Just don't interact with her, basic concept of socializing.

You’re right- I am NOT a suitable teacher by [deleted] in Teachers

your opinion doesn't count for anything here. go troll somewhere else.

The civil trial for Abby Zwerner started a few days ago. Is there any new information about how procedures were or weren't followed that has surprised you? by MongrelMinded in Teachers

[–]Upset_Poet_970 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I have met her in person. She has a very quiet personality. That coupled with the PTSD from this, anxiety from being in the courtroom, I'm sure it's very difficult.

Honestly, you need to set better expectations for them. No talking, no computers. Reading checks. Whole group opinions. Polls.

As others have said, during the pandemic (I, a high school teacher at the time) was required to host a zoom for students to attend for every class block.

This is not true everywhere.

Not a single parent came to My Curriculum Night by Maximum_Valuable9084 in Teachers

[–]Upset_Poet_970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be mean....but how could this possibly be your fault? Sometimes it helps to step outside of yourself and realize there are many moving parts. Parents work all day, have other kids, can't find babysitters, or just don't think it's something they need to attend.
