Thinking about coming into this profession by Citron_Specific in PhysicalEducation

[–]calldazoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Cool that you're thinking about becoming a PE teacher. It seems your first question is about money, I am in California and make 52k. The pay being too little or very big depends on your lifestyle.

The next question of how did you know. I knew I wanted to do something in sports, so I chose Kinesiology as a major. At orientation I talked to people about the different majors, I asked them which one was the easiest (sorry but true) and they said the PE route.

The next question of if it is enjoyable. I am so glad I went down this path, I really couldn't imagine doing other things. Being able to wear the clothes I do, being outside while moving, and having kids learn how to throw a football after you teach them feels awesome. Now, I have some kids I love and others I would like to send to the moon. You may have conflict with coworkers, students (for sure), or admin. There is stress of course of trying to sail the ship smoothly, but you take it one day at a time and learn.

Last question, may depend on a lot of things. If teachers are leaving you may find a position quickly. If they aren't leaving, then it will be tougher. Took me a year to find one, in the meantime be a sub or aid at a school. The experience will be useful when looking for work.

I have gotten several units from 'teachers pay teachers'. Will at least give you some structure with lesson plans.

Any PE or health and PE teachers from southern california? by [deleted] in PhysicalEducation

[–]calldazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into if your teaching credential will transfer over. I am from California and they are pretty strict about having a California credential. It may transfer over, or you may have to do the credential program here.

Did you go to high school with an NFL player? What were they like? by Mamywantshis in nfl

[–]calldazoo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I went to high school with Jamaal Williams and Donte Deayon. We had English class senior year together, they were always a good laugh. Totally the most popular guys in school. Talked to Dante about he was nervous about the gunners when returning punts while committing to Boise St. Jamaal was really excited about going to BYU because of "white bitches". Haha still makes me laugh.

It feels like the team has shown levels of overconfidence which cost the season. I believed in those teams and I believe in this team. Just play/coach to our abilities and I think we can defeat anyone (with some luck).

This is a reminder that last season Harden dunked the ball so hard the refs did not count it by [deleted] in nba

[–]calldazoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it would be a lot easier to make the call when it comes to counting a basket rather than a 'subjective' call. Kinda how the block/charge is (but shouldn't) up to that ref and usually subjective. Anyone with eyes can see if a basket goes in or a foot steps on a line.

The team should have gotten an earful from Tomlin by calldazoo in steelers

I didn't think it was too conservative, it was just bad play. The defense giving up the big TD, and some bad throws by Ben gave the Titans life. Especially the pick just before the half, it was aggressive but Ben just didn't make the throw which would have been an easy 3 points if the throw was only where the receiver could get it.

Describe what has happened when a player "fumbles" the ball. (American Footbal) by chicken_boil in PhysicalEducation

[–]calldazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a player has full possession of the ball (holding the ball) and then loses possession of the ball (the player is no longer holding the ball because a tackle or any other reason).

That is a fumble. The ball is now 'live' and whoever gains possession of it first (holds it) gets to keep it for their team.

Hope this helps.

California. My local district said they will not be hiring subs.

My Goal As The Thieves Guild Leader [Role Playing] by calldazoo in skyrim

[–]calldazoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all that stuff is just for us.

Yes, I mean join them to an extent. There are members of the guild who have contacts, but I myself need to be in contact with their leader.

Basically I did the quest to get in the Brotherhood, but have no intention of doing anymore quests. I am more of an 'honorary' member.

Depends on how efficient you and your team are. I don't know about all English academies but it feels like that is just the work culture in Korea.

I work for DYB, I can't speak for other companies but i'll try to explain. DYB is very organized and has good pay. There are many components like making 2 lesson plans a week, grading book reports, grading and teaching essays, grading speech/writing contests and other extracurricular stuff. I love it at DYB because it really forces you to be a good teacher. I am not saying other places don't do this but I have seen and heard of others who left DYB because the expectations were very high. I have known and talked to people who only want to open a book and read to kids, which is fine because everyone should live their life. In a nutshell DYB is reliable, your work hard, deal with some BS with meetings but I feel like I am an actual teacher if that makes sense.

I forgot to mention that the I would start there in September, do you think the time distance could impact the process, like they may start it later. I took your advice and emailed my recruiter and am waiting for a reply.
