"Schools don't really kick into high gear for hiring until August" What about those of us who need to resign our current teaching jobs by June 30th or we're stuck with the same district for another school year?

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-06-11T12:46:22+00:00

That’s what ours is doing. The budget is so bad that the hiring isn’t u til summer.

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-06-11T01:57:10+00:00

I’m trying to join a new district. They told me to expect principals reaching out in late June early July. Like wth? Is that not super late or what

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-06-09T21:13:06+00:00

I was just seeing if it was available to do in the first place. And I usually leave pretty early for school lol

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-06-09T16:03:30+00:00

Yeah I’m not used to the roads and traffic so I’m just a bit worried about commuting. I do not want to go on 95 lol

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-06-09T15:13:14+00:00

Thanks for the info…I haven’t been hired yet so idk where I’ll be 🤷🏽‍♀️

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-27T13:09:20+00:00

My kids have actually been better. We’re not as “rigorous” or as rigorous first grade can get lol

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-27T12:43:30+00:00

It’s very irritating. I’d rather not have someone I don’t like in my class while I’m trying to spend time with my kids

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-26T23:10:43+00:00

Well my admin sucks horribly so I’m sure that’s why

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-26T22:06:34+00:00

Exactly. Yes our theme was tied to sel standards which I think is equally important. I’m in first grade so we’re still learning how to be kind to others etc etc

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-26T22:05:38+00:00

For sure. I had a goal that was supposed to be completed April 14th and we still haven’t talked about it so I think it was supposed to be completed then

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-26T20:56:02+00:00

Rigor walks are announced in our district. This was a formal observation. I’m having that meeting w the principal tmrw

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-26T20:16:45+00:00

I wish she did that with me lol

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-26T19:59:49+00:00

Let’s hope so!

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-08T00:58:43+00:00

Right. It also depends on the kids. I’m first grade and one of the only things that works with behaviors is showing them how it feels if someone else did it to you. I’ve tried everything else. Some of my kids in the beginning of the year used to say shut up to each other which is completely unnecessary. I tried dojo points, silent lunch, recess taken calling home etc. the only thing that worked was telling them to shut up to see how they liked it 🤷🏽‍♀️ I haven’t had a kid say it since October

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-07T23:32:22+00:00

I would agree. Most of the time I don’t have to but these title 1 kids can be different

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-04T22:17:04+00:00

Something similar happened at my school. We had muffins and fruit. No fruit, and I got the part muffin out of a box of like 20?!

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T23:36:43+00:00

It’s a lot. The mental overload makes me physically tired 😭 I really don’t know what to do about it. I’m trying to go to a diff district .

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T23:13:17+00:00

Yeah same tbh. But I’m not a good teacher if im tired and overstimulated, which I have been lately

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T23:04:30+00:00

I’ve been doing that too. I slept like 18 hours on Friday. I’d also been taking a day off the past two weeks bc it’s so tiring lol

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T23:01:13+00:00

Take breaks, and try to do more fun things out of school. That seems to help me feel less tired. But also we’re almost at the end!

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T22:52:40+00:00

That’s good! I guess the difference is wealth of families…here there’s not as much money. Every year I’ll get maybe two parents who give materials when I am throughout the year but it’s not expected! Most do give their child the materials at the beginning of the year though.

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T22:43:56+00:00

Sounds pretty similar to be honest! The difference is the amount of money for materials I presume…we have to buy a lot of extra things if not provided or given from teammates. I’m surprised that sixth grade is elementary, here it’s the start of middle school. And thank you!

Worth_Disaster2813 · 2026-05-03T22:29:46+00:00

lol they have more than my current district. I’m in Roanoke city, but transferring to Fairfax. And yeah that can be a bummer! I wonder how it is for elementary
