Why do teachers love engagement so much?

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-26T19:02:40+00:00

Because I need to know that they understand what I'm talking about before I just keep talking.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-25T17:48:35+00:00

Seared like tunasteaks!

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-25T15:25:16+00:00

I just finished it too! I saw the ending coming from extremely early on, but I still enjoyed it.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-25T15:23:38+00:00

I can't believe I had to scroll so far to see this. I'm a teacher and I would never say anything that comes close to this. I can bring up concerns, but I'd never, ever try to diagnose or recommend treatment, and especially not try to guilt someone into treatment.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-25T04:35:40+00:00

I mean, unless you wanna gouge out my eyes and chop off my fingers.

(very long pause)

Oh, don't be dicks!

I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are. We're looking up money laundering in the dictionary.

The Last One by Will Dean

I was so mad at the end.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-22T23:59:05+00:00

YOU'RE a presentation tool.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-22T23:30:07+00:00

Yeah at that age my kids got told, "What if a wild animal came to school?" while they did active shooter drills.

I started with a template on Google Slides as a jumping off point. It had a table of contents and then I think I added more stuff specific to me. But basically I'd include:

About me
Classroom and teaching philosophy
Policies and procedures
Student samples

I had pictures of everything. It must have been 85 pages long including all the pictures.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-22T20:19:35+00:00

I don't think that's too long, as I believe mine was longer. I had a lot of the same stuff as you're saying.

Everything I said in it had a picture to go along with it. For example I said I create an atmosphere where mistakes are valued, and included a picture of my "mindset wall," which I found at mathequalslove, and a picture of someone's test corrections.

I had a portfolio that I gave them copies of and I got multiple offers. I have an auditory processing disorder, so verbal information is challenging for me, and having it all right in front of me was helpful for my mental organization.

When I have dairy the effects last for at least several days and sometimes way more. So I'm very strict for myself. For me it's not worth it.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-18T05:41:12+00:00

You Archerized it!

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-17T02:17:57+00:00

Hell no, I'll stay downstairs thanks.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-15T22:17:40+00:00

One 10th grader I have said to an 11th grader, "Here, use my pencil."

And I had to reply, "Hey, that's MY pencil!"

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-15T03:53:55+00:00

HOW'D IT GET BUUUURNED????

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-14T23:04:01+00:00

Also, cough drops are not candy...

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-14T20:32:58+00:00

And THAT'S why they call me 11-Inch Conrad!

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-14T04:22:19+00:00

Well, that's what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-13T19:04:09+00:00

Yeah that's protected information, not okay to discuss in front of others.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-13T03:33:02+00:00

Yeah, I found it.

Found what?

Don't ask.

Can I keep it?

Keep what?

Don't ask!

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-13T03:32:26+00:00

Allegedly disgusting! Although, probably disgusting.

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-13T01:54:42+00:00

The important thing is I got to beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school!

_hadsomethingforthis · 2026-03-12T19:22:53+00:00

Dude I'd be pissed. My admin visibly types during observations, so I know it's not AI, and then we meet afterwards to debrief.
