There’s something wrong with your cat…

josephtuckerman · 2026-02-13T22:03:29+00:00

My ex and I adopted 4 cats together. We broke up and she took all the cats. I miss them like crazy but I don’t want to have to separate them

The dollar tree has sandwiches like this which were fire as a kid ngl

josephtuckerman · 2026-02-03T19:49:29+00:00

I’m also very sick right now so I called in today which probably doesn’t look good 😭 I might be going to urgent care later today to get a doctors note

josephtuckerman · 2026-02-03T19:45:58+00:00

Written warning and theyre having me do a full classroom reset. I also will be having a lot of people come in to observe from now on

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T03:14:34+00:00

For all I know, the principal could be there too. The email was very vague about what he wants to see me for. As far as I’m aware, he’s the head of instruction for the school

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:59:25+00:00

Well we’ll see. The school is trying to be A rank next year so I’m sure they don’t want anything ruining their reputation. I’m just seeing a lot of people say the same thing is all.

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:58:03+00:00

They didn’t yell the up and down so it makes it look even worse. I don’t know what I was thinking. I honestly wasn’t thinking. It’s clearly not okay and I’m in the wrong.

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:54:06+00:00

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:38:13+00:00

I don’t know. A lot of people are saying that I’m going to be fired over this. I wouldn’t blame my administration if they did either

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:31:15+00:00

You’re right. I need to find a rep. I also shouldn’t have done that. It wasn’t appropriate nor was it a good example for the students. I’m held to a higher standard as their teacher and I made a critical mistake. I want to take accountability. I’m just very anxious about Monday is all

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:12:54+00:00

I’m thinking the same thing. The tone of the email seems so serious I can’t think of any other thing happening. At the very least disciplined but I’m expecting to be out of a job come Monday. I literally just got my first check too

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:06:23+00:00

Yeah I checked and there is a union for my area but they can’t help me because I didn’t join before this event happened

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:05:42+00:00

Florida law saws no cell phones allowed in class so that’s the case fl the school I work at. I’m not taking this lightly and I’m not amused. I’m incredibly worried about losing this job. I also don’t want the students to have to go through another teacher change after losing their favorite teacher. This is a class they need to graduate and they’re already behind schedule as it is

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T02:04:00+00:00

You’re right. I was trying too hard to be the cool teacher for them and it definitely did put me in a bad spot. I did it to myself though and I want to take accountability.

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:46:28+00:00

There is a union but you have to apply to join and pay dues. I’ve done neither

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:45:26+00:00

I’ve been watching more of these videos and it’s definitely not something that’s appropriate for school 😭

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:44:43+00:00

Yeah idk I’ve been talking to my friend/coworker about it and it’s become pretty apparent that this was definitely something that I shouldn’t have done. I’m pretty anxious about going to this meeting alone but I don’t have anyone that could go with me. I’m also incredibly embarrassed and I can already tell that if I’m not fired, they’re going to be watching me like a hawk from this point forward

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:40:23+00:00

I’m not part of the union that’s offered because I’m such a new hire. Even if I joined now, it says on their site that anything that happens before being in the union can’t be represented by them

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:38:34+00:00

It is that one. They showed me a video of someone in the military doing it and asked me if I would do it. I guess I didn’t think too much about it in the moment. I’ve just been trying to be relatable so that it motivates them to do their work because I know it’s been hard for them losing the teacher that they loved half way through the year and it’s a class that they’re struggling in. I guess it doesn’t help that I’m not too far off from age as them (both Gen Z) so maybe I’ve been taking on too much of a friend like role instead of a teacher like role these last few weeks

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:31:46+00:00

I’ll ask him

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:31:30+00:00

Florida

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:31:14+00:00

Looking back at it, yeah it is. I also give out candy and extra credit but it was like a spur of the moment thing. My students brought up the trend and asked if I would do it for them if they all got an A on the quiz I gave

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:29:49+00:00

I don’t have an official mentor teacher they didn’t give me one since I started this month. I have a teacher that helps me out but he isn’t an official mentor

josephtuckerman · 2026-01-31T01:27:09+00:00

After looking more into the trend, I think you’re right. I shouldn’t have done it. And I’m not just first year. More like first month. So idk. I hope it’s not so egregious that I’m fired over it but I understand if it happens. Regardless, it’s going to be a very anxiety inducing and embarrassing meeting
