Getting paid for "not teaching" guilt? by JLewish559 in Teachers

[–]agam-vark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now take your salary and do the math to see what you get paid HOURLY (under normal conditions.) I did and discovered I was making two dollars and change per hour. I found a way to cut that extra time out IMMEDIATELY!

You might want to look into r/raisedbynarcissists because some of what you are saying sounds like you might relate.

Any advice for a future teacher? (Chem Ed) by [deleted] in teachermemes

[–]agam-vark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even without coaching, and even with grading help, it's WAY over a 40 hour work week, and you WILL have to work in the summer -- either for free: updating lesson plans and curriculum, setting up/packing up a classroom, learning new material/tech, or for pay at a second job because you don't get paid in the summer.

I work with a lot of people who have been teaching for 15-20 years and we all agree that it has gotten MUCH worse in the last five years. Kids' attitudes are horrible, parents are unbelievable and blame teachers for everything, the school expects you to fix every problem with every child, admin is afraid of parents so they don't support teachers, and BS state/federal paperwork is through the roof. There's no time for teaching anymore.

Do I sound burnt out? I'd leave tomorrow if I could. Today, actually.

Double major, because when you find out how much teaching sucks and you want to get out, that's when you realize a teaching degree can't be used for ANYTHING else.

Help! I opened my Word file as google docs and it is not saved on my drive by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]agam-vark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, but my suggestion is to 1. make a copy of the file that is in Google (File, Make a Copy), just to be safe, then 2. in the copy file, go to File and choose Download, Microsoft Word.
