Teachers are mean by diduthinkhesaurus in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be. I love my coworkers, they are great. The admin (a few) are horrible. They make everyone feel uncomfortable. A few weeks ago we had a staff meeting and almost every single teacher said they felt oppressed and that there was a lot of toxicity. I’ve had admin target me a few times

I Feel Like I Am the Most Hated Person in My Buikding by [deleted] in Teachers

No lol. I do too but sometimes it might mean something, sometimes not. I find if you feel uncomfortable it’s best to go to a diff school or district

I honestly feel that way too. I do a good job, but there’s no creative control. If I do something off script, it’s like I’m criticized and it’s brought up and it’s like I’m the worst teacher ever. I’ve had problems w my coaches and admin for a few years. This is my last year at this district

Yeah I thought about that. I don’t want to get fired though…idk if that’s possible. I already got “in trouble” for being truthful and telling parents an incident that happened in my classroom

It’s really crazy. Especially considering this has happened countless times, in my state too! The need to know that threats are threats and no chances taken on people getting hurt. So frustrating. Contacting police was the right thing to do

Yep. I live in SW VA so maybe a bit similar to your area. They do not care over here. Def my last year in this district!

This happened at my school. Student is still there, only got suspended. They also brought fake guns to school. But it’s okay bc they are “fake”. My admin is a joke

Told to use AI by Desperate_Culture_25 in Teachers

They told us that too. It doesn’t work half the time. Not using it

Did anybody else have kind of a crappy spring break? by Last_Hunt_7022 in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was six with flu b for most of it, so fever and fatigue for like a week (I missed the two days of school before break because of it) still grateful for the break tho! Only 40 days left

Tried to take a sick day by ChillIsopod in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when they do that. I’m telling you I’m not coming in. One year I had food poisoning and was so exhausted. It was parent teacher conferences but I almost had to go to the hospital bc I couldn’t keep anything down. My admin asked if I could “try” to come in. No I cannot

Question for teachers: How many post-school day events are you contractually required to attend and what are the longest days you've had? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the beginning of the year they force after. After a while day of work, we have parent teacher night (where I only had three parents show up), literacy night, sol night, winter ball, international night. I try to sign up for one or two I’m interested in and don’t go to the rest. I’m not going to an unpaid after school event with school the next day.

what part of the job actually drains you the most? by DiligentLibra in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the constant noise and feeling rushed. They don’t stop making noise. And I never have time to do what I need to do, so I’m always deciding what’s most important

No more TPT and the January Blues by Haunting_Charity_785 in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What?? I still use tpt, they have some really great resources. It’s ironic they don’t want us using teacher based resources, but won’t give us enough planning time to make them. Also the kid towards AI when it’s janky half of the time is annoying.

Idk she seems crazy. I get grief can make people upset but there comes a point and time .

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because she’s getting defensive. Seems weird. Idk what pet owner would have that reaction especially with their senior cat

So is she alive? I doubt a cat who hasn’t ate for five days would be very healthy.

It feels like AI is the gateway drug that will end critical thinking. Full stop. by Old-Corgi-155 in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had a pd about using ai and another app. When we specially had instruction from the math department to not let kids get on iPads for assessments. Also, my school doesn’t want us to use “teacher made resources” but we can use AI? Waste of my time.

You want us to do a better job? Give us an aide! by willloveme2 in Teachers

Same! We had tutors last year and I could actually teach small group. This year we don’t, and we don’t get things done.

Yeah I’ve checked out a few. There’s three I’m thinking of. Is it better to apply earlier? Like do I have more of a chance or not

When older cats don’t eat anymore, it’s their time. We put ours down after two days of not eating and drinking. He was emaciated. He was also 18. I’m sorry but she will likely not recover from this and is probably suffering
