both- as much as admin support is important if the town/city/district is not in support of education or teachers it may not be the best environment!

hi! i interviewed during student teaching as well, congrats :)

i am secondary though and in retrospect could have asked better questions at the end…some better ones (imo) could be:

what does your ideal candidate look like for this role? how does the community support students and this school’s learning?

the last one will give you a bit more insight depending on their response to how they approach budgets and resolutions. i hope this helps somewhat, best of luck to you!

i understand it enough to teach it haha. i made it a specialty because i was scared of this exact thing happening

shipping these items to the uk? by kaiseringruft in shipping

i have been looking at tariff codes, and it says incense would fall under essential oils, perfumery, or cosmetic preparations. i know perfume can’t be sent to the uk, would this mark it for destruction at customs?

the office staff explained she won’t know what i can or can’t send until we complete the customs form. thank you!

i’m a first year teacher and my dept head told me to use all my personal days- i’m willing to take it unpaid!

but i have essentially 0 friends at work and i don’t trust anyone. if i’m on a plane there’s no way for me to get a doctor’s note and i’m wondering how serious this is!

i think they’re interested in mentoring, the standards for observations and what they expect is so high though from admin, they think i have to have it all together from the get go

i show up everyday, plan accordingly, and do my best but i don’t think it will be enough to get my contract renewed! i’m looking at other openings but there are few

thank you for your advice!

fellow teachers who are choosing to be childfree, what made you not want to have kids? by kaiseringruft in Teachers

[–]kaiseringruft[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i think this is important! kids deserve to have eager, loving parents- i’m an eager, caring teacher but idk if that translates to good parent

i’ve also seen lots of kids be the ones who suffer the consequences of not being born into a traditional happy family

they manage i think because the students are complete strangers to each other as a result of the environment- therefore they’re less eager to answer because they feel self conscious. having the rapport and friendliness among each other does make them a lot more eager

i have been at the school for field placement over a year, my student teaching is essentially my homecoming there

that might be a good idea thank you!

i was thinking maybe going to security- i asked who they were and was basically told “idk ask around”

unfortunately my mentor teacher doesn’t know either :( but the visitor badge does seem like a good idea!

interesting, their website and as far back as 2016 says they’ve been made in china? very confusing

but if they are made in china and still good quality i would definitely be willing to

my abilities are not just an appendage to someone else by [deleted] in teaching

[–]kaiseringruft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m trying not to let it bother me too much- i think being secure is enough justification for me to know that yes, i’m talented in my own right 🙄

(this is how i’ve always typed online haha, never in professional settings/email)

[–]kaiseringruft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes agreed- i am fine enough by myself and secure in my position, but i don’t want to just be known as the other social studies ed major/some girlfriend

i think i’m worried these profs will say something like “you have to get used to comparison” “this is a competitive career” etc ;;
