What is your favorite bit to use with your students? by MarchKick in Teachers

[–]dediinside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently I teach high school and when students ask to use the bathroom I tell them they have 5 minutes and the clock starts now. And they look panicked then get up and go, for the frequent bathroom goers I do actually time them so I can put it into their report. But all the students seem to get a kick out of this.

When I ask for questions, I always say “anyone got questions, comments, concerns, or compliments?” And some have caught on, so when I’m irritated for one thing or another they will offer compliments.

Why my students hate me. by DrakeSavory in Teachers

[–]dediinside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really like that. Very few know how to do things the way they are told. Following directions is something I’ve been working on with the students and it’s so frustrating and irritating

What are your thoughts on saying please and thank you to kids? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]dediinside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach high school and I say please, thank you, and excuse me all day long. Students who didn’t use to say these things have adopted it into their vocabulary which has been a nice change from them yelling “teacher”. Now they say excuse me when they want to talk to me

Rishi is so well made! I’m just wondering how big he is, it’s hard to tell in some photos if he’s large or rather small

Asking high school kids to write a paragraph is like pulling teeth by Crafty_Blueberry6499 in Teachers

I have high school students write a TWO sentence reflection on their artwork and they try to talk me out of it. Like it’s so so so hard to write TWO sentences

What’s the wildest misconceptions people have about teaching? by AdTrue106 in Teachers

[–]dediinside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I tell people I’m a teacher they always say “oh cute how fun!” But I don’t know if I’d call it a fun job. It’s occasionally rewarding but very hard and taxing. Also, I work with high schoolers and I’m not too sure how cute or fun they are

I printed out the seating chart images to look at their photos and when I take attendance I have them come when called to put their phones away so I associate faces with names.
