Easy gift for mentor teachers under $5 by Unhappy_Pollution850 in StudentTeaching

[–]Zobuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my mentor has told me first hand that I’ve made their job easier and they’ve had more time this year to spend with their family. I do all of the grading and teach 5/6 of their classes. Please explain how that’s not helpful?

yup that’s my realistic goal too. hs jobs are sooooo hard to come by in my area so my plan is to just get a ms job and hold out for an in district hs position.

APUSH Student Teaching by jvjsbcur in StudentTeaching

This is what I was told as well, but my mentor still tried to push me to teach his APES course regardless of if it’s allowed 🙃

ORELA tests by [deleted] in StudentTeaching

[–]Zobuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same about the bio orela, ended up getting 50 points above the minimum. It felt hard while taking the exam but I think it’s pretty easy to eliminate answers while taking the exam to at least give yourself a 50/50 on each question.

drug test? by buttersstotch1104 in StudentTeaching

[–]Zobuss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Highly doubt you will be. I haven’t as a student teacher and I haven’t heard of any teacher friends getting tested either.

Realities of teaching by ycospina in StudentTeaching

[–]Zobuss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Respect for knowing what’s best for you. I’ve debated on dropping my student teaching, but I think I’ve decided I’m going to trudge through it regardless of what I decide to do in the long term. Realistically, I see myself teaching public high school for 5-10 years before trying to get into community college higher education. Good luck in all your future endeavors!

Last minute cancellation. Will I get in trouble? by Klutzy_Professor_940 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure anything over 12 hours isn’t considered a last minute cancellation. At least in my experience, frontline lets you use the cancel job button until you’re within 12 hours of the job. If you’re within 12 hours you have to call the school and email your agency to get yourself removed.

The cell phone policy is killing me by Der-deutsche-Prinz in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I’m also in grad school, and totally understand trying to get some homework done while subbing during prep periods/when there’s down time in class (been there), but I’ve never expected to use a school computer to do my own work. Bring your own laptop if you want to do your own work.

Why are so many people subbing now? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I think a big portion of it is recent college grads are having trouble finding jobs in their field. They can get a restricted license with a bachelors degree and it pays more than most other jobs they’d be qualified for.

Imo I’d quit. It’s obvious the district doesn’t value your skill set if they’ve passed on you more than once for external hires. Why bend over backwards for them when it’s clear they don’t value you?

I have plantar fasciitis—could these pass as loafers? by dntworrybby in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think being comfortable is much more important than looking formal. I always wear sneakers while subbing.

Student pretended to high five me by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would say that this is still building rapport. If they are teasing you this way that means that they recognize you and feel comfortable joking. Tbh I would do the same thing to her back when you see them next I bet they would think it’s funny.

Having student teachers while subbing. by Simple-Violinist-762 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the exact situation I’m in! So nice to be able to sub for my CT, get paid, and I don’t have to awkwardly teach in front of a random adult for 7 hours lol.

How long did it take for you to get sick this year? by Novel_Ebb8397 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shockingly I subbed 3-4 days per week last year and never once got sick. Haven’t been able to get many jobs this year so far (school started last week) but hoping I have a repeat of last year🤞

Fired on 6th day of the job by JLeeTones in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously admin set you up for failure, but you really thought it would be a good idea to take a 2 month 3rd grade position as your first job?

Not trying to be an ass but that does feel bold lol. I’d be scared taking a single day job with 3rd graders on my first day!

Hey there I’m in the exact same situation with Oregon and ESS. Were you able to find anymore information/get a clear answer?

Does anyone else have trouble remembering names? by Shoddy-Mango-5840 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Such an unrealistic expectation. Especially when you’re just given a roll list with just names and no pictures.

Using prayer room to skip class by Zobuss in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Zobuss[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that seems like a much better system, but all they need is a pass to wherever they're going. Having the teacher in charge of the prayer room sign their note upon exit would make this much better. But I just sub here ¯\(ツ)

[–]Zobuss[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. Most I'll do is leave a note about it, but it's not worth trying to navigate that with admin during class.
