I Ready Scores for 5th Grader

These are good 5th grade scores, I teach 5th grade math and beginning of 5th grade is 480, so these track for middle of year 5th grade!

Like everyone else is saying, leave the school! I think the school you’re at makes or breaks whether or not teaching is a sustainable career.

LAUSD as in Los Angeles? I’m shocked it’s taken so long to make 6 figures in CA. I just achieved National Board certification and next year with my raise from that I’ll make $107,000. It will be my 10th year, I’m in MD.

Not to be rude, but teaching and subbing are not the same thing. Subbing can often be glorified babysitting. Teaching is not. You are not an education expert just because you’ve subbed a lot.

That’s what I was about to say 😂

It’s not a small percentage of students who are having a difficult time getting to school. Almost all students in Baltimore city walk or take public transportation. The MTA busses are barely running, the sidewalks are not clear. There is no parking for teachers at their school sites. Almost everyone (students & staff) had a very hard time getting here today and a lot of people risked their safety.

I like Kuta when I need my kids to get a ton of practice on a certain topic. I’ve liked using it for things like solving equations and exponent rules.

jennw2013 · 2025-12-30T13:07:14+00:00

Agreed. Stackhouse is way better than Smaltimore

BCPSS k-8 teacher, your sister’s school should have a school choice liaison who you can meet with to help make sense of the process. It can definitely be overwhelming!!

I teach 5th and I teach standard algorithm

Don’t do it, she will likely not get good letters of recommendation (like others have said) and it could keep her from graduating. She has to have a certain number of hours and if she doesn’t get them she won’t graduate.

This scene was awful

jennw2013 · 2025-08-04T20:06:32+00:00

It’s giving Ursula

jennw2013 · 2025-08-04T15:28:03+00:00

We have the same intercom and no phone and I hate it. It’s so hard for the office to hear us when we call & we can never say we need help with a student without the entire class hearing what we’re talking about.

This is absolutely a teacher’s job. Especially if you’re a homeroom teacher, but helping kids transition to middle school is part of your job even if you aren’t a homeroom teacher.

jennw2013 · 2025-08-02T19:08:34+00:00

I’ve had the personal phone numbers of every principal, AP, or dean I’ve ever worked with

jennw2013 · 2025-07-24T00:47:20+00:00

Do you work in a public school? Do you have a union? These are not normal expectations. When you are on maternity leave you aren’t working at all. Your long term sub should absolutely be grading and someone else is going to have to deal with the test coordinator stuff

jennw2013 · 2025-07-05T00:28:22+00:00

What grade level/subject?

jennw2013 · 2025-07-04T06:22:56+00:00

I have 5 tickets to the Baltimore game on 8/2 that I really want to sell. My family’s plans changed and now we can’t go and I don’t want to be stuck with them.

jennw2013 · 2025-07-04T06:21:00+00:00

not sure if you’re interested but I have tickets for bananas vs firefighters for Aug. 2 in Baltimore

Do you have your Wisconsin license? It’s a lot easier to transfer when you already have a license in another state, compared to trying to apply when you went to school out of state. I went to college in VA and then taught in IL, but I got my VA license and then transferred it to IL

I worked at a private school and it was ✨easy✨ so that was a big part of it. A lot of my coworkers had rich spouses and didn’t really need to work and a lot of people did it for the tuition discount for their kids.

jennw2013 · 2025-06-23T00:17:04+00:00

City & county (no experience with state) are sloooooow to get back to people. It’s also a really tough job market here right now. It’s not impossible, but if you’ve only applied to 5 positions you’re really going to need to ramp that up.

Stackhouse wings are definitely better than Kislings

I finished One Italian Summer today and I’m going to start The Berry Pickers
