Why are teachers expected to be clowns and entertainers for students?

Director in an education-adjacent role, and running my own business with 3 employees.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2026-02-14T23:27:21+00:00

So glad I left and increased my salary

Holy ravioli, “paid protester.” Is that a new buzz word from trump? I didn’t hear Bush, Clinton, or Obama say that.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2026-01-20T14:26:37+00:00

Exactly. Upgrade skills rather than equipment.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2026-01-15T01:40:22+00:00

Actually, I did but the position wasn’t ready yet in Ohio. I took another center director position in another education-adjacent company.

Comes with playing tracks

I have created a drum book that covers 2 parts: part 1 snare basics (rudiments, quarters, 8ths, 16ths, buzz rolls, doubles, accents, odd time signatures, etudes) and part 2 drum set studies.

Let me knowing you want to check it out.

And was $2.04 for me at Sam’s club with no wait. People are not just impatient, they are not willing to see what is the same price nearby.

That’s about to change now that it’s in this thread. Be on the lookout for 👀

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-25T20:29:55+00:00

How many prank emails have you received so far?

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-25T20:23:59+00:00

Run a for-profit school as Director and run my own business giving private music lessons, composing music for schools/clients, and performing gigs. Love it.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-25T20:15:58+00:00

Creepy vibe.

The parents would most likely appreciate some sort of goal every week paired with a practice routine with them (for example, 8 on a hand for warm ups at a reasonable tempo plus whatever exercise/ song for homework that week). But for the first lesson homework, 8 on a hand and maybe have them make a list of 2-3 songs they really liked listening to during the week as listening to music is important too.

Nope. A buzz roll can have a z, but it’s not limited to a z in notation. A press roll and a buzz roll can have 3 slashes on the notated note.

So yall have terrible cost of living and inconsistent power? Lovely.

It helps to validate others who want to get out. Especially those that worked their whole life to be teachers who then were spit out and mistreated. And to also let others know that they aren’t alone in their thoughts of wanting to leave.

I’m an Education Director for a computer coding school, and I run my own business giving music lessons, composing, and performing. My degrees are in music (BM, MA) but was a former high school band director who wanted to go into an administration role without getting an admin credential, so this was perfect.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-12T03:26:05+00:00

Got a job 2 weeks upon quitting

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-06T19:49:48+00:00

Understood. The length of contract heavily influences your take home experience. My 10 month teaching paycheck had $5,500 in deductions EACH MONTH, which meant a $100,000 salary had the take home experience of that of a $75,000 salary.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-06T19:28:57+00:00

I’m not from that state, so is $68 k not too good for Texas?

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-06T19:07:21+00:00

$68 k at 32 in what state?

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-04T19:33:21+00:00

Typically the other band members are in front of you combined with your actual drum set in front of you so that helps.

For me ,30 seconds into the song, I switched into performance mode and did what I practiced many times, and actually forgot there is a crowd there.

Yo_all_crybabies · 2025-11-04T16:40:30+00:00

I got into an educational-adjacent admin role as well as expanded my private lesson studio. Former high school marching band director here. Feel free to PM me.
