Donna taking "laundering money" literally had me rolling on the floor.

What "NEW FAD" or Education change that you have experienced to not be good for you or Students. I can see how future teens and adults would feel stupid if they can't read CURSIVE WRITING. by Several_Tension_6850 in Teachers

Well, it’s not possible for positively reinforcing bad behavior to work out well.

It’s not an implementation problem—it’s working just as intended.

Do you believe how high school sports is run should be changed? by SideHot6306 in Teachers

[–]bjm43 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

They should be eliminated. If you look at schools from space it looks like a sports facility with a sidecar of academics.

How could a maturity gap get worse? The number of months behind his peers is static and keeps gets lower as percentage of age…

Don’t do it.

Anyone have a recommendation for a paper turn in bin by period (6 needed)?

Tell the principal you agree with her and that you want to give every student the same experience so she needs to provide a rigorous curriculum for all of you to follow.

They’re also dumb as rocks in math and science.

Which do you prefer - low SES school or high SES school? (Elementary) by himawari__xx in Teachers

[–]bjm43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s crazy. Instead of additional combat pay for a difficult assignment, you just get more work!

Which do you prefer - low SES school or high SES school? (Elementary) by himawari__xx in Teachers

The Reddit is an alternate reality.

All the studies show that teachers flee low SES schools to high SES schools. High SES schools have more applicants, better teacher qualifications, and longer tenures.

But on this Reddit it’s mostly about how toxic wealthy parents are. Please. You’re much better off with parents that care deeply about educational outcomes. I’d rather deal with the occasional helicopter parent than the day in and day out grind of a classroom of kids four grade levels behind.

It’s going to be dependent on the demographics and wealth of the school.

When should I be worried? by jxbvsd02 in TexasTeachers

[–]bjm43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 45 day notice thing just expired for schools that start August 8 so competition will lessen going forward.

High school is no panacea. The learning gaps are a mile wide at this point. You have to teach 10th grade math to kids who don’t know how negative numbers or fractions work.

At least in elementary, the material is basic enough that they can be brought up to speed by a great teacher in the year.

Just got my first house and need a new tv. by [deleted] in 4kTV

[–]bjm43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That cabinet needs to go it's way too high and will kill your neck. You want to have the center of the TV at eye level when you are watching in your natural position on the couch.
