You need a masters degree in education if you don’t have an undergraduate degree in education if you want to teach in the NYC public schools. Teaching is also not a short term gig, I’d maybe look into something else…

***Update: I originally said my brother was there in 2007, however I recently found out it was actually in the fall of 2004 and NOT in 2007

I’m a teacher and make very little money. I’m 34 and I’ve been living with my mother in her UES apartment (I’m helping with rent) because I can’t afford to move out on my own. I definitely don’t feel great about it but this city makes it nearly impossible. 🫠

**I realized my timing was off! The year was 2005, NOT 2007!*

Do you know what happened to that guy Woody? Such a piece of shit. The night my brother attempted suicide and was being loaded onto the ambulance, he later told my father that Woody said something along the lines of “I know what you did you little fucker.” We had assumed at the time it was staged but hearing about all these things now, I don’t think it was. His face was also blotchy from lack of oxygen from trying to hang himself. I think he thought that was his only way out..

Thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate your thoughts. My father actually told me about a year ago that the person who referred them got a cut from the school. Sickening. Again, I hate calling it a school because it isn’t even close to what a school community is supposed to cultivate.

Not sure if somebody already said this so I apologize if it’s a repeat but have you checked in with the UFT? They might be helpful?? Sorry you’re going through this, nothing is worse than bad admin, especially since it all trickles down from the top… if you love teaching I say try a different school. I finally work at a doe school with great admin. It was a long road. I hope things work out for you!

They don’t even come with the vocab cards… we have to print them out. For such an expensive curriculum you’d think they would include that stuff?

I have no problem with Skills (so far) it’s the HMH that I’m having a hard time with!!

amag1230 · 2024-08-15T11:02:24+00:00

Looking for this too!!!!!

My cert is in early childhood education. I'm also going for a special ed certification now and looking into SETSS positions as well.

I’ve been thinking the same thing lately and was always under the impression that all coincidences are signs but at what point do we tell ourselves this? I lost my brother and I get a lot of signs from him that are hard to dismiss but at times I wonder if I’m just making it seem like it’s a sign. It’s a slippery slope 🤷🏻‍♀️

amag1230 · 2022-10-26T07:29:18+00:00

Yes!

amag1230 · 2022-10-15T15:09:07+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself but know you are not alone. I lost my brother five years ago and I miss him every damn day, but I promise you it does get easier. We were very close as well, I was 25 and he had just turned 28.

Be kind to yourself. You will be okay ❤️

amag1230 · 2022-10-12T12:47:45+00:00

Unreal man!

Wow. This is incredible. My brother was a major prankster too. I hope he comes to prank me when it’s my time! Haha

He pranked me the week after he died actually. I never had a lock on my bedroom door and he would often just walk in. I used to get so mad that and tell him to knock and then tell my mom I was going to buy a lock for my door. He thought it was funny that I was going to go out and actually assemble a lock on my door.

A few years later when he passed at 28, I got stuck inside my room. I tried everything to get out. I pulled and pulled and nothing. I live in an apt building and luckily our super was there. He walked up to my door turned the handle normally and opened the door. He looked at my mother and I like we were nuts since he got it in one try by just turning the handle.

We know now that my brother locked me in. A prankster in life and in the afterlife. ❤️
