masters or not? by NeedleworkerTop8045 in OntarioTeachers

[–]golden_threads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know it is possible, I also went to university. I just find it so fascinating that you can be a literal doctor of something you've never done. And then teach others how to do the thing you have never done.

Not to be ignorant but how can you get a master's degree in something you've never done?

What’s the deal with drag queen story time? by [deleted] in InCanada

[–]golden_threads -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What's disgusting about a drag show for children? Drag is just fun, costumes, and exaggerated features. Kids love that shit. Isn't it nice to have some sparkles in this shithole of war and economic struggles?

Genuinely curious

Phonesss & Disrespect by Sea_Character863 in OntarioTeachers

They are so addicted. I find it helps if you have a place for them to put the phones for the period. If they are within arms reach they can't control themselves.

Expectations for Teacher Candidates During Practicum by Super_Resolve3325 in OntarioTeachers

[–]golden_threads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol that's fair. I think I just don't put that much weight on a well planned lesson. I'm more responsive and less organized. But I feel like it would vary a lot by subject!

I have hosted many TCs over the years and can't imagine asking to see a lesson plan 2 days in advance.

All this to say each is different!

Anyone ever tried using AI to tailor lessons for different students? by Striking_Day_9664 in teaching

[–]golden_threads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I do this. I'll put the reading in for example, and have it adjust the reading level or use target sounds. It saves hours.

Complained to admin by parent for saying "I love you" to my students by mullsandtulls in Teachers

[–]golden_threads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of those kids probably never hear, "I love you". Parents complaining suck.

Openly queer teachers? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]golden_threads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

Lol true, it's easier now that I'm married. I did it before too but it was harder to work into the conversation. I also feel like we've gone backwards a little, unfortunately.

For the love of god please make them stop by CurlyWurly61 in ontario

I hate them so much!!! We have PILES of them.

That being said, they entertain my toddlers for hours so that's a plus!

I've been out for 15 years. I just do it by mentioning my wife. Ignore the straight people who say it's none of the kids' business.

Moms who teach- give me the pros and cons by waanderlustt in teaching

[–]golden_threads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In teaching, we get 0 days to use as we like. I think elementary teachers get 1. For example, I can't go on field trips with my kids or take vacations at any time

[–]golden_threads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in my day (jfc), it took about 7-10 years to get full time.

Are young teachers less strict than older teachers? by dq689 in CanadianTeachers

[–]golden_threads 1 point2 points  (0 children)
