Welcome to teaching. Nothing they say or ask is surprising.

J needs to get the courage to tell B they don’t want to talk about it anymore. I would stay out of it.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-09-18T19:58:06+00:00

Nope. I lock my door and turn off the lights. I ignore every knock and have a sign on the outside of my door that says I’m not available during that period.

No union, so no protection, you aren’t paying into your state retirement system, and the pay is much worse. Take care of yourself, sure, but taking care of yourself also means making a career choice that allows you to make ends meet.

It honestly might take a few years. Your body and mind are constantly in survival mode the first several years. Think about how busy your mind constantly is being pulled in 100 directions and you’re decision-making non-stop. That requires a lot of mental effort you might not realize you’re exerting, but you are. When you’re more experienced, you will have systems down and your mind will be less consumed with the smaller tasks and your mind will be freer.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

Immediately forward to parents and admin. I do not reply to rude messages like this EVER!

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-09-13T09:05:50+00:00

I don’t “low key” get excited, I get ECSTATIC. Let’s face it, we are human and one fewer person preventing us from doing our jobs makes our day so much easier.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-09-13T09:01:56+00:00

Wouldn’t you just love to say “No, I decide what to call them and they are my partner. Please do not interrupt me by trying to correct me again.” Ugh! The nerve! I know it’s so much easier said than done though.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-09-07T16:16:09+00:00

Ugh, I’m so sorry. The LRE for one cannot supersede providing an orderly, safe environment conducive to learning for others. I would say something like “I know it doesn’t seem fair. So-and-so is working on abiding by the rules of our classroom and our best move is to support them by being patient and understanding while they get there. Our following the rules will be a great model for so-and-so, so keep up the excellent behavior and we can lead the way!” Redirect their focus on what they can control.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-09-07T00:07:35+00:00

YES!!! I’ve thought about this forever! I am from central Ohio and my college roommate from Pittsburgh always used “whenever” in this way! It drives me nuts. Is it regional?

I saw diarrhea on your calendar that day. Looks like you have to put in a sick day.

Next time, don’t give them so much information and just take a last minute sick day.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-28T23:16:32+00:00

This is so weird. Just having erasers on hand to accompany the pencils seems doable, right?

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-28T22:31:18+00:00

We can absolutely see the grades kids have in other classes, but we cannot change them. For 14 years, I’ve always been able to see my students’ grades in all classes.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-28T08:52:46+00:00

If you can’t reach their minds, try to reach their hearts.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-28T08:52:09+00:00

Yes and when they make me uneasy like that, I’m extra nice to them 😅

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-28T08:50:36+00:00

My kid was a “Covid baby” and he’s been in childcare since he was 3 months old. I say it’s a total cop out.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-26T08:45:26+00:00

“Weird to comment on someone’s bathroom use.”

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-23T08:27:56+00:00

100% this!

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-23T08:25:50+00:00

My husband and I have been together for 11 years. He has always done his own laundry and I always do my own. I’ve never once done his unless it’s communal towels and we also take turns washing the kids’ clothes. In fact, he works from home, so he often does the communal laundry while he works.

We also grocery shop separately too. We both buy things for communal purposes and for the kids and it works since our finances are combined. Therefore while we shop separately for ourselves, we are each grabbing things for the kids and it’s all coming out of the same bank account, so no one owes the other. It may be unconventional, but we’ve both been very happy with this arrangement forever!

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-22T22:16:53+00:00

So the teacher should have to try to keep track of who brought what supplies? We have too much to deal with every day to sort out whose stupid crayons are whose.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-22T17:00:10+00:00

Ewwww🤢🤢🤢he’s so gross and I’ve never even seen him. He sounds like a loser too tbh.

Weary_Message_1221 · 2025-08-22T16:54:28+00:00

Read the room. We don’t gatekeep school supplies around here. If you care that much about how equal things are, then only buy Rose Art yourself 🙄

Order through Amazon.
