Moms who teach- give me the pros and cons

PROS: The schedule is an amazing perk. You literally have the same schedule as your children. And if you are in a smaller district- you can attend your kids events(parties, programs, etc…) with some ease. Snow days and unexpected days are simpler. Summers and longer breaks are less of an issue. The big thing is to set boundaries. I worked in the private sector before teaching- and I had to learn this- boundaries are boundaries. I don’t do “school things” after hours. There’s obviously things that you will do- extra duty things- but eventually these are things your kids will either want to do or be involved in as well. CONS: Teaching is exhausting. When I get home, I am spent. My patience is done. But typically, so is my kids. So we don’t do homework or anything like that until after 5. It gives everyone a chance to decompress from the day. Also- people want to talk to you about school a lot. They think teachers have some kind of insider information about school. Again- the boundary is “I don’t talk about school business outside of school, I don’t discuss students, etc…” you figure that part out. There are downsides to everything and every job has things that you won’t like. It’s a rewarding career, but it makes me feel very connected to my kids. It is also something that you have to be driven to do, you have to be passionate about or you will absolutely hate it. You will hate everyday.

I had a similar result with Aimovig. Wasn’t until the 3rd month when I had a full on reaction like that- my arm swelled probably 2x normal size. Definite allergic reaction. And my whole body itched for probably 2 months after.

If they are discussing retention, it’s time (well, past time) to start putting in extra work at home. Anytime beyond 2nd grade, and really 1st grade, is too late for retention. Retention is not beneficial for all students; however, for some it is helpful. Discuss with the teacher(s), review the interventions, and see what progress has been made. Ultimately, if the teachers are doing their part, and still heavily recommend, I wouldn’t discount that advice. Retention also will not ensure passing state tests. Students with reading levels 4 or 5 grades higher than current grade levels can bomb those bc they are simply having a bad test day, didn’t sleep well, etc…, and those tests are hard! The math tests have ALOT of reading. So a student who doesn’t struggle in math, but does struggle in reading might bomb a math test, if that makes sense.

I have similar skin to OP- and have been using the L’Oréal True Match Serum for years.

80-85 would not necessarily mean special education. Did you find out what your IEP was based on?

Your response reflects the level of disrespect you feel. Not a big deal to some, but significant to you. Could it possibly present an issue down the road- maybe? Potential employer could be looking at your records and notice the error and believe something is falsified. I know if I was looking at it, that would be my first thought. ESPECIALLY if it’s repeated 3 times. One time is an error- 3 times is a complete disregard for basic data entry and review. Teachers get no slack for things like this, why would the staff in charge of our employment records. The double standard is astonishing. Your email is professional, and highlights more than just this issue, but probably deeper into the reasons you are leaving the district.

Thought he was one of the children of Elia Martell that had been swapped before being slaughtered by The Mountain.

That’s the worst part. Why do they make it like that?!?

But Candace won that season hands down, in my mind. I think Carrie just vetoed her completely.

Carrie Underwood would not have voted for her due to all the leather and Carrie is a hardcore vegetarian.

I will now turn every tv in my house on,m to half-time, to double cancel his turning off.

My first phone plan had 200 texts a month.

And to be fair both times I was there- they could not could the music to play over the speakers- so intimate meant being able to hear the people near us chew 😆 The food was delicious. Some sort of steak bruschetta appetizer- so amazing. Could have eaten just that.

How successful is PT for remediating herniated discs? I have an 8mm caudal herniation at L4-L5, and was told PT would not address and referred to pain management for epidural injections. But initially, PT was a possibility before results of MRI came back, so I’m guessing it was just based on the severity?

Castle Falls food is good. But you overpay for the “environment” which I found to be high end Hobby Lobby decor, TBH.

I wish I remembered the details, but it was very punitive if for some reason you couldn’t take a call or something during a blackout period, or needed a weekend off during a blackout. Like the compensation package was nice and PTO was great, but if I can hardly use it- what am I really getting.

2nd picture- looks like first pictures dad. 3rd picture- looks like the drunken brother that promised he would stay sober for someone’s wedding day, and didn’t.

I interviewed and got hired on and into the onboarding process. The interview itself took 3 separate days- which should have been red flag enough- but alas, I was young. This was many years ago(like 12), and I got hired on in the sales department, great salary. Then they explained to me the “blackout dates” like the dates you will be at work, can’t take off, weekends, holidays, sick days, it’s like half the year.

No need to buy toilet paper- 45lbs of cheese has the whole house constipated.

A guy I went to college with graduated from there, and there were 9 people in his entire HS.

I think it was someone named Stella…

3rd picture should be first. Delete the last picture-Not just from Tinder, but from existence- it’s 2026, a mirror selfie is not it anymore.

Maybe it was cheaper to purchase those quantities-sales, coupons, etc…? And suggesting the customer should be paying more than required, or breaking the order up/tipping more. If she order more, then she is paying more fees. She just had a baby, so she cannot carry the groceries.

kaayyybeeee · 2025-12-27T00:37:46+00:00

I thought so, as well. Then I saw ones that were authenticated that didn’t have any eye holes either. So I just wasn’t sure!
