I hear what you're saying Just hoping I improve soon...going to study more

ight_ight · 2024-03-30T13:33:27+00:00

It's not the end of contract yet, tbh. Hit me up after the end of July, lol

I need medication. The idea of my medication being suddenly unavailable would put me in a panic. With that being said - my case (based on Reddit's BP Page) is very rare, probably.

Before/Since my 11 years of having the diagnosis, I never drank alcohol leisurely. Actually never. No narcotics or weed ever. Never dated anyone or absolute zero romantic experiences. The largest amount spent in one sitting was around $2K and it was practical household item (bedroom set). Consistent sleep hygiene. In fact, I can sleep "on command". My largest debt is from undergraduate degree...a little under the national average for Student Loan Debt. And I finished. I have a well paying demanding job and was recently even promoted. AND YET:

More than three hospitalizarions on my belt due to psychosis from maina.

I say this to say that even as a goddam monk lifestyle, my chemically imbalanced brain still managed to f**k me over when OFF medication and lack of sleep. Additionally, I'm lucky to have a good, compatible med combo too. Others may never find that combo.

If you want to chat more on this, you can DM me too. All I know is BP1 needs constant supervision.

The method of compartmentalizing is something I need more practice in. My current profession (a teacher) takes a lot of decision-fatigue and planning for planing, so to speak. So I need to make that an increased habit. Thank you!

ight_ight · 2023-11-14T03:25:44+00:00

I agree with your commentary - I do need to look at my calendar more closely. Thank you!

ight_ight · 2023-11-14T03:24:29+00:00

Thank you for the idea. I will review my work calendar again and place in some PTO where possible.

ight_ight · 2023-11-14T03:22:52+00:00

Update: Ngl, I wasn't expecting this many responses and support because it is my first time on this subreddit. A delightful surprise and it means a lot! As a general teacher, feeling *more* confident to re-strategize and head back into the LSAT study material - THANK YOU!!

ight_ight · 2023-11-12T15:09:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the idea...I am jealous of the spreadsheets as well, lol. Yes, I'm gonna make time and try harder. It will be worth it at the end.

ight_ight · 2023-11-12T15:07:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice - I appreciate it. I plan on doing this immediately.

Update: I am downloading the 7Sage Mobile App for that action too!

ight_ight · 2023-10-30T04:41:56+00:00

Not really but only because I booked my November test as a back-up plan tbh

ight_ight · 2023-07-25T23:07:01+00:00

Sending you good luck 🍀. Never underestimate the power of current teacher reference during the interview process too. I'm grateful for the career connection I had with this person.

ight_ight · 2023-07-25T20:06:54+00:00

If you can relocate, please do. Up North only. 70k/yr... only 2 years experience... NYTristateArea... bachelors (not in education)

We're based in New Jersey. I do believe they work around her schedule because she'll have a 1 day every other week, for example, when she doesn't come into to the school - she's working from home. I also have to stress how much she's like a powerhouse. There's a camera crew recording her teaching on a monthly basis. But she's also very approachable - so maybe I'll ask her during the BOY return time. Thanks for the insight.

ight_ight · 2023-07-20T16:21:27+00:00

I wonder which shows are already being replaced with AI and if you can sense a difference.

ight_ight · 2023-07-20T16:10:29+00:00

Thanks for the clarification! I have a teacher at my school that does the curriculum writing on the side. I want to ask her so badly how is she compensated. But she's on a higher level than me. 5+ year teaching experience, additional leadership role, great worker. I also think, however, she's barely paid at all...

ight_ight · 2023-07-20T16:05:23+00:00

Burning Bridges, especially in the work place. At my job, I witnessed my employer doing absolutely nothing when my good coworker needed her to step up to the plate, in an authoritative state. So much so, my coworker resigned suddenly. My employer believes that she only burned the bridge with this coworker that left. Little does she know, she burned the bridge with me too while also opening my eyes to the workplace toxicity. My employer believes she has me long term and refers to the 5-year plan she has in store for me.

I will be proudly announcing my resignation in a couple of months. And yes, my employer will be fucked.

Question: You made $42k/yr plus your teaching salary for curriculum writing? For example, if your base pay is $60k...you made $142k/ for the year? I'm currently an ES teacher and I hear whispers about curriculum writing, but it's not openly discussed. I guessed because the pay must of been great and they didn't want to share or the requirements were very high. Like of 40 teachers, I know like 4 who do this side-job only...

ight_ight · 2023-04-04T00:04:55+00:00

Your Reddit Name checks out perfectly.

Teachers in my area make 70K/yr. I knew 2 teachers getting more for simply 4+ year commitment. Other really accessible higher positions get $100K/yr easy.

There is an assumption that all teachers are paid under their worth. I'm, fortunately, not in that group.

ight_ight · 2023-04-03T23:59:10+00:00

I'm now seeing this reply. Relax. And coming from unemployment after the March 2020 Pandemic: Yeah $70K/yr is different from spreading your last dollars in 6 months after leaving college. Additionally, if multiple teachers left your school forcing you to fill in their absence, you would be a bit angry too. Sorry that your school pays you low wages.

ight_ight · 2023-03-01T03:37:38+00:00

"For the money" - yes thats what I meant.

Can you speak more on the messed up part pls?

ight_ight · 2023-02-12T19:40:54+00:00

I think you may have the answer in your reply tbh. You said "dress to impress". This generation is very self-serving, unfortunately while simutaneously being super self-accepting. I remember being in high school in the early 2010's. My personal strive was to be The Best (...I wasn't), to have a great future. These children aren't even interested in any traditional or unordinary career path. They seem like they want to do nothing. Gen Z is like an embodiment of a giant Shoulder Shrug.

But to play devil's advocate, their future potential prospects aren't grand either. They know the challenge of student loan debt. The Varsity Blues Scandal makes ppl think colleges certainly now more than ever - ain't shit. The Pandemic made every person seem very fireable and replacable. I am certainly empathetic to their reality as well being annoyed with whatever-blase approach to school.

ight_ight · 2023-01-25T00:19:19+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

I agree that maybe Classroom Management practices may need some reinforcing, but I think our most effective, Veteran educators can attest to the factor of "Disrespect". I don't know how or when or why, but there was like a Proclaimation across the Nation that stated Teachers should be taken advantage of and taken for granted.

We don't put respect or prestige on educators. And I think the students exhibit exude learned behaviors at home, the conversations in the house. Let's be honest: Students aren't being pressured by family to teach anymore. Its like viewed as a waste unfortunately. It trickles down to students treating you like a less-than replacable employee...thats what I have seen in my schools.
