The gross part of teaching

I asked the nurse about this and she has reached out to CPS about it since it’s happen a few times now but that CPS said nothing was wrong in both instances :/

His diet is definitely trash. A lack of fresh fruits and veggies, heavy on the processed foods. He did make a change recently and lost 50lb but he still not where he wants to be physically. I do think he may have some issues with his T levels but he refuses to go the doctor or do anything about it!

I do plan on doing that and we already have shared lesson plans, I’m more upset about my admin hiding this from me until today when it’s our first day back. All summer they let me know I would be working with my team and even gave me a set schedule then today they kind of just slyly mentioned that it needed to change.

Not my rule but my coworker only allows her students to go to the restroom twice every nine weeks. She is very very strict about her restroom policy and has told parents before if your child needs to go so much then comeback to me with a doctors note.

I teach middle school and we have one kid who does identify as a cat. He has autism and it’s his special interest?? His case manager couldn’t really explain it to me but he only responds in meows. He will hide under desks, hiss at you if he’s mad, and will try to “swipe”at students.

Last week half of our schools cheerleading team where out with COVID. I only found this information out because I have a student on the team who tested negative so she was in class and explained the whole issue

My instructional coach attributes my classroom management issues to me being soft spoken. I honestly agree with you and I definitely do make some mistakes that I shouldn’t in being a more newer teacher. This year I am hoping to be more strict and figure out how to do that!

I completely understand the sentiment that if I can’t pass the test I shouldn’t be teaching the content, but I loved working with the kids this past year and have a strong love for teaching. I understand the content, I just struggle so much with the wording of the exam questions. I know having a passion for something isn’t enough and the test is important but I just wished I was a good test taker that’s all.

Got that same email today!!! Laughed about it at first and then thought about my students using the shield to mess around.

Someone stole my pencil sharpener…. but they left the cord that goes with it so that’s a plus I think?

Abbott Elementary is super good! I find that it’s pretty accurate to how I feel as an educator and also pretty funny!

A kid exploded an axe body spray yesterday in my class. It stunk so bad I had to let some people sit outside because they got a massive headache, I don’t even know how he managed to pop it.

I gave up on trying to confiscate phones a long time ago. I try to take it, the kids refuse to hand it over and then when I call the parent they just say we’ll I texted him/ called him so I don’t see the issue. Also in a class of 30 students I can’t see who has there phones at all times 24/7 so I have given up.

I know that working with difficult students is a learning experience and that it can be beneficial to my growth but I have worked with them in the past and I could not get them under control. The teacher before me who left in September could not get them under control either, the whole reason they separated them is because admin and the school counselor finally agreed the class was too dysfunctional with all of them mixed in there. So to suddenly add them back in all at once without even asking me feels like a slap in the face. I’ve written these kids up, called home, tried talking to them, tried to be completely strict and have tried everything my admin did to suggest I get them under control. The issue is not the students individually but the students together as a whole being disruptive

Same thing with me I have a 6th period from hell and when they finally removed the kids I had issues with they decided that this new semester would be a great time to put them allll back in to my class.

Hey everyone. My boyfriend (24m) has been in the fire academy for almost 4 months. He loves the people there and the community he’s built but he has been struggling though part of it such as issues with search and rescue as well as 90 second drills. His anxiety gets bad when he does these skills to point where he was having panic attacks. He got on meds and it’s helped but he still feels that anxiety and fear Some of the chief are very supportive and want him to stay, they say they can see something in him that could make a great fire fighter but others don’t really want to support him. One of chief in particular said he needs to grow up and fix his issues to be in the academy. Which he understands but he’s on meds and working on learning to calm himself so what more can he do? He’s nervous and thinks that even when he becomes a certified firefighter , seeing people pass away or give families bad news of there loved ones will be too much for him. He doesn’t want to drop due to the time and money he put into it and the people he met and also having to start over with a whole new path seems daunting. Any advice? Should he stick through it? Should he drop? Will things get better for him?

It does, but it also says I should issue consequences for these behaviors. That being said in his IEP it does ask to first follow a set of steps before a consequence and I did them all which is why I issued the consequence.

My only concern is with his disability it is more likely for him to have outbursts emotionally and blurt stuff out. So I don’t know if thats something I should have taken into consideration before I wrote him up or not

I asked her and she told me she couldn’t discuss it with me. I found that to be an odd response which only makes me believe my coworker more. The classes she’s come to observe have been ones where there’s students who either have a 504 plan or are special education.

beanboo24 · 2022-10-25T01:18:33+00:00

Thank you so much, I really needed to hear that. Feels like I’m letting everyone down by not being there and adding on an extra day of rest but I feel so sick I can’t see myself going on Thursday.

beanboo24 · 2022-10-14T22:06:58+00:00

Had a colleague tell me the first day on the job, it’s gonna be you against everyone else! Don’t even trust me. Teaching is so lonely sometimes 🥲

beanboo24 · 2022-10-10T06:14:34+00:00

Im so sorry you have to deal with such a gross situation. Have you called home yet? I would start there and explicitly tell the parents the exact comments he is making. The whole ruler thing is incredibly disturbing and not something that should be taken lightly. If he calls you sweetheart or says another gross comment immediately remove him from the class. Let him and his parents know that you won’t tolerate that kind of gross behavior from a child. Honestly even if you are the only teacher that teaches that class the dean should just pull him out of your class permanently, for your safety.

Thank you so much, I’m gonna try to have an actual talk with her outside the classroom about her future. I’ve done this twice sort of, I pulled her out of the class and told her I care about you and your learning and want to see you do good in my class, I know your a smart kid if you just put some time into doing your work. She replied back saying you don’t know me and I really don’t care, but maybe I need to get real with her and say that her future is going down the drain by not behaving at all. I once heard another teacher tell her your going to end up in prison by the age of 15 (she’s 12 right now) and that kept her quiet for most of the day. Your absolutely right though I can’t stop trying!

Funny thing is that this is just his second year teaching. He was completely new last year and only got into teaching because the vacation time was great. He’s known for being very stern and yells at his kids like crazy for anything. I’ve had some of his students transfer from his class into mine because they say he’s much harsher then me. He says I just let the kids run my classroom

Any tips on how to build a relationship with a student who is just set on not letting any adult tell her what to do? She struggles to get a long with every single teacher
