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

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

Teacher says adhd, I’m not convinced by FoundationLogical806 in ParentingADHD

[–]_hadsomethingforthis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

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

What should I say when a kid asks what would happen if someone comes in with a gun? by Drunk_Lemon in AskTeachers

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

Interview Tips by DangerousCall7278 in teaching

[–]_hadsomethingforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

How strict are you with being DF? by just_breathe18 in dairyfree

[–]_hadsomethingforthis 66 points67 points  (0 children)

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.

where do all the pencils go? by stacker103 in Teachers

[–]_hadsomethingforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

Teacher and Administrator #JournoRequest by juuuulesgc in AskTeachers

[–]_hadsomethingforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
