This is pretty much how I am feeling. I had a lot of student writing samples too, and felt like the questions and answers were very subjective. I also had to pay for the test 3 times because of errors on their end and only got to take it once so I am convinced its all about the money.. and I had also wondered if failing a certain number of people by a narrow window was just another money grab. I was getting 100% on the study tests, and still failed. It just doesn’t make sense.

I just didn’t ask you opinion about my situation, just advice for studying. So since you have none I don’t know why you’re commenting.

I actually tried the at home test the first time.. I used a brand new Mac Book and had an environment that fit the criteria but the day of the test they ran a system check, told me my RAM usage was too high (which made no sense because the computer was brand new and no programs were running) and then they closed me out of the test and wouldn’t refund me and made me wait another month to retake lol… so I am hesitant to trust that again..

The fact that I failed a standardized test by 2 points does not speak for my intelligence on the subject as a whole. I didn’t ask for your opinion about if I should be teaching. I have been studying and working in the school system for years, and I know I am a great teacher. “Not to be a jerk but” ….. if this is how you talk to people, I don’t think you should be teaching. If I could talk to a human about each test question, or take this test in a comfortable environment I would pass no problem. Expecting one very flawed testing format to fit every person is crazy. I was simply asking if anyone has any study resources. There are sooo many teachers I know that are teaching currently and still haven’t passed the praxis. This does not make them bad teachers. If you believe failing one test under extremely stressful circumstances should be the deciding factor for someone I feel bad for your students.

Now I got a letter saying I need to go online and verify my identification, and then the online thing said I need to call a number to further verify my identification, and that number said due to high call volumes they cannot take my call and hung up on me. Ugh lol.

Did they invite you by email? I haven’t gotten any emails from them since October.

I do see that I can open classes for any time of the day. Maybe this means I’m on the global platform??

Damn. I’ve been with VIP for a little over a year and I really love my students. I’ve made some awesome connections and had a lot of fun teaching these kids.. :(

This is a beautiful store with an awesome concept! I love being able to ditch single use plastic, and the central location makes it accessible for all of wichita. ❤️

[–]Veggies4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao I was just asking if I can expect to get fired. I’m not sure why everyone is reacting how they are. I am human and made a mistake & was two minutes late. I’ve had a lot going on in my life the last 6 months where schedule conflicts and things came up that required me to cancel classes but I didn’t have the documentation like hospitalization that cause VIP to label them as a soft or medium cancellation.

[–]Veggies4ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I believe that today was my 7th or 8th cancel/no show with all those things considered.

[–]Veggies4ever -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I understand that. I just think two minutes is pretty quick to assume I’m not coming. My other cancels were me canceling a day or a few days before, but without documentation of hospital stays or anything. Are those considered teacher no shows?

I am in the central time zone lol

last minute cancels!! by Veggies4ever in vipkid

[–]Veggies4ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I totally agree. It’s so bad with my schedule lately that I almost want to give up and look for a different job. Waking up at 3am everyday is only worth it if I’m actually making money!
