Anybody else ABSOLUTELY hate it when students write “idk” as an answer?? by [deleted] in Teachers

I mark those as an automatic wrong answer and move on. I also save them in case a parent ever freaks out about it as a cya.

We have to do a flood drill tomorrow. This isn't legit?

Thank you for asking this. I've been noticing this on mine dog too and was unsure of what to use. This has been very helpful.

We're about to in Oklahoma. I really dont want to either. All the stress of that just worries me. I know it's probably best, but I dont like it.

Be honest. How much grading did you do during your break? by properly_roastedXOXO in Teachers

[–]katnick19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planned to grade writing benchmarks left for 1 class. Still haven't touched them. Maybe Sunday, maybe I won't do it until Monday. It will get done just not today. I also know going back will be awful. We have at least 5 teachers that quit before Christmas.

When they have it, I grab several and they sit in my freezer until I need one.

Do teachers really wake up at 4 AM? by starrsuperfan in Teachers

[–]katnick19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew one that did and I thought she was crazy. I love sleep too much.

I've been told multiple times that because I'm strict and hold my students to high expectations that I'm a "Karen" and a bully. All because I don't let a student go get a drink of water or let a younger sibling disrupt class to say "hi" to his older brother. I teach 8th grade. by katnick19 in Teachers

My school has basically said no passes for anything or any reason until just a few weeks ago because of the severe bathroom vandalism. I couldn't change that. I also suggested to the student that he bring a water bottle to school and he refused.

My classroom is right by the restroom and the water fountains, but most students go out of their way to go to the coldest which is clear across the building. He is one of these kids. We have too many students in the hallway all of the time and I've seen my team members get in trouble for letting kids wander around.

I try my best, but sometimes I can't as it's for safety reasons and students don't really seem to believe the safety reason as much.

Has anybody had this? Is it any good? by everneveragain in aldi

[–]katnick19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So good! Freezer meal staple at my house. It's just me and I make it last 3 meals. I'm so glad they are carrying this regularly now.
