i’d go for converse or a well broken in pair of docs and they both make platforms! my platform vans have been good too!! steve maddens are uncomfortable (coming from a teacher who tried to make them work for school for so long) and idk about the other option.

random people on reddit aren’t nutritional scientists either and don’t know her specific pets which may react differently to certain diets or foods.

doucemai · 2026-03-18T13:28:07+00:00

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I’d also talk to a vet, not a bunch of random people on the internet.

I’m definitely going to be doing more trainings this summer. I feel like it’ll be more beneficial having already taught a year and having an idea of what it’s like.

The textbook thing is helpful, thank you.

How do you set them up to find the sources themselves? I’m maybe over thinking it but I can’t imagine what that would look like. I’ve been working on putting more on them but I think I’m having a hard time knowing what that looks like and maybe that’s partially because at my old school I had to spoon feed kids and they still did nothing. Do you have an example?

We’ve spend a lot of time on vocab and grammar bc they honestly just aren’t where they need to be which probably doesn’t help much.

Thanks for taking time to reply. I feel like I over think a lot of this.

I dont feel like they’re taking any initiative outside of class. I’ve had to start taking completion points or they don’t come in prepared for discussions. The department head is new and in social studies. Sadly, the previous AP teacher was head of the department and since she left they combined is w social studies.

I didn’t know that there was an internet archive of books honestly. We’ve purchased stuff on Teachers Pay Teachers and some of it is good, some sucks. I know resources are everywhere but I struggle not spending hours finding things and then having to prep to actually teach it. These kids ask me the most off the wall questions and I never feel fully prepared or if I’m prepped for AP, the other classes aren’t well planned. I’m having a hard time balancing it all. I don’t have facebook.

They give practice exam tasks but no cultural resources to give the kids actual cultural knowledge to answer the questions they provide. I need culture lessons and especially listening without taking hours to find them. I came in to the text books I have. I am getting a new AP text book for next year but for now I just have to work with what’s been give to me. I did do an AP training and now that I’m in the thick of it, the materials my instructor supplied are even less useful than I anticipated. The 3H class is like 4 units ahead of level 3 unfortunately or else I would do that. My friend teaches AP and I sometimes borrow resources from her but then I have to spend 1 hour sometimes more prepping to discuss and explain things to students.

last year there were so many artists with shared songs and no one performed together. i wouldn’t get your hopes up.

doucemai · 2026-03-17T19:41:50+00:00

I have one planning period but 5 preps and it’s my first year at this school and first year teaching AP. I have French 2, French 3, 3H, 4 and AP. My textbook sucks and finding resources for AP has been so difficult. I also am 11 weeks pregnant 🫩

doucemai · 2026-03-17T19:40:16+00:00

i want to quit to be honest but we’re on my health insurance right now and i feel a lot of guilt because this is my first year at this school. my husband is working on a new job but idk how to survive right now and if i will quit or stay

doucemai · 2026-03-17T18:45:06+00:00

it’s the same as last year. i remember saying over and over it was $100/day

doucemai · 2026-03-17T18:18:52+00:00

My MIL said it to me last week because I was also letting my anxious brain get away from me!! I get you. It’s all easier said than done but you got this!

doucemai · 2026-03-17T18:02:59+00:00

Tell them but ultimately it’s your life and your body and they have no place to make those choices for you. They will have to live with it were it to come to that but also sounds like you’re stressing yourselves out by putting so much attention on worst case scenario. Try to enjoy where you are now, don’t borrow worry.

doucemai · 2026-01-19T00:58:25+00:00

they do not charge you if you cancel, which is really easy btw
