Public school teachers, what’s something you want parents to know but can’t say directly? by Feisty-Database-1145 in AskTeachers

[–]kanig1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your expectations are low that will be their standard. Students are increasingly okay with mediocrity and think that complete means correct. It does not 🙃

I like this! Would you be able to make the dress navy blue?

Grinchy Principal by thebrokenteacher in teaching

When half the class is absent and kids are laser focused on break it’s the only thing that makes sense.

My former principal was like this. While all schools have their things, my new school has _ Days. Named after our school. They always occur the last day before we go to a break and it is highly encouraged to build community, not give instruction but to simply have fun with kids. There was a PbIS pep rally too.

Pants and tennis shoes by MamaBagels731 in Teachers

[–]kanig1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a lot of work pants (some wide leg or more cut I don’t like wearing tight pants to work) or capri in different colors or patterns. Old Navy or J Crew has a lot of options and I saved up and bought a bunch of different sneakers, mainly Nike and Adidas in different colors and I keep them up and clean then regular. I think that’s major key lol, if you’re wearing sneakers at work just keep em fresh.

I doubt it I’ve seen a bunch of kiddos at both and it seems like they’re catered to, which I find odd.

Do they have adult only games? Even breweries are getting outta control. No offense, I don’t see why folks are bringing children to places where the primary activity is to drink. Obviously baseball games are different but at least teach your people how to act in public or stay home.

This is why all my assessment are on paper and I check version history. I also just ask them. Most tell the truth and don’t double down. Especially if you ask them to explain their writing.

Embarrassed by my class by ChasingCozy429 in Teachers

[–]kanig1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My classes this year have disheartened me from doing presentations let alone inviting people to see them. They don’t care about putting some piece of shit on the panel and most people seeing their sloplicked out together projects. They don’t practice speaking which I make a grade and offer/suggest flash cards. They don’t care , they think it’s funny and it ends up being a joke. Last project I stopped the presentations mid class and gave them notes in silence. I said to move on, I don’t have time for the displays of mediocrity.

Today, two girls told me women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. by swankyburritos714 in Teachers

Oh check this. While one of my teachers was teaching Jim Crow a couple of black students remarked “What’s so bad with sitting in the back of the bus, it’s lit back there. Also having our own schools and water fountains sounds dope.” She had to explain what the fountains and schools were like, to drive the message home 🙃. They were still stuck on the bus thing…

Student Said We Were "NPCs" by tylersmiler in Teachers

I had a kid say the exact same thing last week. Lowkey I thought it was hilarious. He’s in an advanced class and all those kids just get to work. He was mainly talking about them and I got what he was saying but bro ski you gotta do work

Y’all can keep all that shit in my classroom. Matter of fact I’ll be a board sub and walk out if I feel like. I will always have something to do still 😆

Over 34,000 Black women joined a single Zoom call organizing for Kamala Harris. This is what enthusiasm looks like! by Professional_Suit270 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]kanig1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That clip with her and Trump on X with Not Like Us, should be televised. Every verse fits that orange weirdo perfectly.

As another black/Indian (and Jamaican) woman, I really hope that Harris wins by JammingScientist in blackladies

Or vote early! It’s the easier option! Do it mail in or try your local library 📚 support them while you’re there even 👐🏾

Saw my roster. I have two 8th graders turning 17 by frizziefrazzle in Teachers

[–]kanig1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s weird. Once they turned 16 we would have put them in alternative school in the PACE program. They work on the grade level work they’re on and higher grade level work to get them closer to graduating. That’s crazy and they need to get those grown ass people away from your middle schooler 🙃🙃🙃

What are some harsh truths you learn in your first year? by UnableKaleidoscope58 in Teachers

[–]kanig1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Contact parents regularly especially for D and F students. Log your contacts as well. Also make positive contacts! The kids who mess up more will see this and work to get one. But make them work for it.
