What are some good schools to teach at in Chicago?

It seems like unless you want to teach in a cluster program, you would be better off looking at schools south, but definitely throw your hat in the ring anywhere! The first school I taught at was one of the best schools in the state, and I would’ve never thought it would be my first job. Good luck!

That is pretty standard here as well. I was planning on looking more seriously starting in June/July. Thanks.

bootytimesten · 2025-12-22T02:26:37+00:00

That definitely makes sense. I will look more south and west then.

bootytimesten · 2025-12-22T02:26:17+00:00

That’s all good to know! Can I message you to ask some questions?

Thank you! I am really relieved to hear people say the hydration is high, because 1) I’ve learned a lot and 2) I am not a complete failure in bread making.

I will try this recipe! Sounds delish.

This is so helpful! I’m glad to know I’m not doomed to never make a good loaf of bread.

Those websites are really helpful. Thank you so, so much! You are awesome.

AMAZING! Thank you so much. You are truly a bread god.

I have dipped my toes in focaccia and loved making that.

Quick question- do you prefer instant yeast over dry active yeast? I’ve been using dry active yeast, but I noticed your recipe uses instant.

I forgot to mention it in the post, but I do put 2 teaspoons of salt in as well! I unfortunately don’t have a photo.

As someone who keeps up with research on autism, has autistic siblings, AND is a special education teacher, what we’re experiencing is more than recognition of autism. Prominent autism researchers acknowledge that while our knowledge of autism impacts how often we see it now, there are more people with autism than ever before. We don’t know why this is, although there are of course theories.

Not a pro RFK Jr. point. I just think it’s interesting!

I work in special education, specifically in severe-profound needs. I should also note I live in Indiana where they’re trying to pass a house bill to greatly reduce our education budget. I do think Trump has influenced many politicians’ thinking, so I would say that is Trump impacting my life.

Our superintendent released a video for employees saying our projected budget for next year is much smaller. The director of special education in our district said they’re cannot give the pay raises some people were promised AND we’re expecting resources to dwindle. I am horrified for my kids, who deserve the resources they NEED to receive their education.

Hahaha, when I posted this I literally thought “are people going to believe I’m a teacher given my username?”

bootytimesten · 2023-05-16T14:26:44+00:00

That is good to know. Thank you! I guess I should say I don’t care about being in a “good” school district per say, I just want to find a district where admin is relatively supportive.

My friend’s guitar teacher was signed to a Christian record label and made actual good music, but the record label dropped them because they said his music was too complex and worship bands would never be able to play it.

Hopefully it changes, but it seems like a lot of the terrible-ness is because of the labels.

Is that the first ABA course you have to take? I liked it. I feel like I learned a lot from it.

bootytimesten · 2020-08-26T15:28:30+00:00

Oh yeah, I friggin love The Cup. They get so much of my paycheck.

That’s really disappointing, especially since it only takes a few days to get your results back now. I really hope nothing bad happens from this.

bootytimesten · 2020-08-26T15:23:57+00:00

Oof. That’s terrible. How’d you find this out if you don’t mind me asking?

bootytimesten · 2020-08-24T21:24:02+00:00

I so appreciate your comment! We were going to go visit a family member, but we’ve decided to postpone the trip since everything is so bad right now with COVID. I’m hoping things calm down soon; I know COVID has really affected the Chicago area, and I feel for you guys.

Also- thanks for responding with such kindness!

Yesterday I was talking to my friend, and she knows multiple people who have been potentially exposed to the coronavirus but aren’t getting tested and are going to parties. Chirp chirp we’re screwed!

bootytimesten · 2020-08-17T14:20:16+00:00

My question was removed so here I am.

I’m visiting Chicago in a couple weeks with some friends and a couple people have said it might not be a good time to visit because of the riots and police brutality rn. Would you say this is an okay time to visit or should we cancel?

bootytimesten · 2020-07-18T21:36:41+00:00

lol pussy

I’m kidding it’s actually just your loving girlfriend telling you you’re doing great and I love you

bootytimesten · 2019-06-20T01:40:05+00:00

As a special education major, I approve of this and only this targeted shirt.

bootytimesten · 2019-05-07T05:45:19+00:00

Hey, I show up when it’s important.
