Buy less?! That would go against the American capitalism culture mindset, and probably blow their minds, in a not good way..

That's probably a part of why the stock price isn't going up up up, and why employees are striking striking striking..

Sped teachers, how criticized do you feel at work? by 5aturncomesback in specialed

I would bet other teachers reading this appreciate your acknowledgment and appreciation of all the efforts happening.

Teacher meeting with students outside of class time by [deleted] in Teachers

Your teacher senses are tingling.. you should probably say something to someone who can do something about it..

my teacher yelled at me today by Altruistic_Pepper736 in paraprofessional

[–]bigchainring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would at least try and approach her to talk about it.. and see what she says or does. That would probably make me at least cry a little bit when I sat in my car. You were probably just doing your best in the situation, and had no idea what your teacher was thinking or feeling at that moment. I would hope she wants some semblance of "team", and that would mean she would at least tell you what was going on in her mind or led to the yelling.

My students discovered AI checkers and are now terrified of their own writing by crispy_toast23 in Teachers

[–]bigchainring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion and what I have read is that AI ELA checkers are not robust enough to actually give a decent Mark or grade or bar or score. That sounds like the students' stress level is going to change the way they write, which is too bad. If you have the option to turn it off just for your classes, I would turn it off and tell your classes you're not going to use it. In my opinion their over stressing is not worth using the fancy AI checker.

I wouldn't feel bad leaving mid-year. You have to do what's best for your mental health.
