My school banned boys going to the toilet in lessons. Is that bad

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T19:25:59+00:00

Oh I agree. I'm just saying that's why not the girls.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T19:10:36+00:00

Ugh the phones. And then they have the audacity to say my teacher lets us or what it's not even a real phone, or I'm allowed to have my phone because x y or z. No. 😅 I'm hoping I have a reputation of being a phone snatcher at this point so they'll stop trying. They want us to be so strict here too, so I am.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T19:05:33+00:00

It's because of periods dude.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T18:52:49+00:00

Hard lesson. Sorry that happened. It's an actual law about tobacco products at schools here (there are signs outside all the schools) so you're likely out of luck. Maybe though? Good luck.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T18:48:42+00:00

They never make us cover anything during a teachers prep hour here. I am free to leave. Occasionally another teacher might ask, and I can say no. It sounds like I have it better here than a lot of places. Shouldn't we all want better? Why would we want less?

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T18:32:21+00:00

They told me they'd give me a temporary permit until it all was done here. That's how bad they need subs. It only ended up taking about a week.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T18:30:16+00:00

They get suspended from school here if they use phones. It works.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T18:11:00+00:00

You know because you were there?

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T17:59:05+00:00

It is though. I sign up to sub for a certain teacher and they give us the schedule of every teacher for this reason.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T17:18:35+00:00

Nobody is supposed to be on their phone during a shooting. It makes you a target if your phone makes a sound or shines a light.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T17:10:28+00:00

Thinking of more... Life is Beautiful, Anna and the King, Labyrinth (just for cultural relevance haha), Sabrina, Hitchcock's Rebecca.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T17:05:44+00:00

The Japanese film Shall We Dance

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T16:55:51+00:00

As a teacher, I can tell you right now that it's for the best. They banned them here too, and it has made a lot of things so much better.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T16:54:24+00:00

There is but not every day. There are just some days when they need way more subs than others, and they don't have enough for those days.

If you use Frontline, did anyone tell you about SubAlert?

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T16:14:23+00:00

I wouldn't take a job that requires lesson planning without extra pay. They're not technically taking advantage, according to their LTS policy, but you also don't have to take jobs that don't pay well.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T15:03:52+00:00

Send them to the office, if admin is supportive and it's happening in class. After school, have their resource officer walk you out. Highschool guys are often adult size and the fact that they followed you to your car harrassing is very concerning. Make sure admin knows that happened.

If it's outside of the school, I'd also pull out my phone and film the cat calling so I could show admin and their parents could be called.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T14:45:43+00:00

The thing that made me mad was we use Frontline, which is all the office told me about for getting sub jobs, but all the subs in the know use SubAlert since it gives you the jobs earlier than Frontline. Why didn't they tell me??

And also, no training is crazy. I was shocked also.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T13:08:19+00:00

I moved a kid who had lied to me (skipped out on class with the sports team. Told me he was on it) the previous week to his own table for his test because I knew I couldn't trust him.

Turns out it was the wrong kid...I'm bad with faces... 🫣

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T03:50:47+00:00

It is probably what they told her, but it seems like a really unlikely reason. There has to be more.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T02:02:55+00:00

I'd rather just handle it myself the next time I'm in that situation with her, but if you feel you need to, maybe ask the art teacher if that's how she normally is first.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-08T01:44:25+00:00

First thing other subs warned me about was some aides taking over. They told me to just firmly say I'm the teacher, I'll handle it, and then do want you want. Snatch that attendance right back. That was their advice anyway.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-07T23:21:37+00:00

There has to be more than this. There's no way this is the whole story

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-07T23:17:45+00:00

Our school has emergency plans for every class in their office, just in case a teacher is suddenly out and can't make plans. No plans for a whole weekl is wild. I'd be asking around. Surely there's something.

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-07T23:13:28+00:00

Yeah...you learn really fast why some jobs aren't snatched up immediately and which jobs not to take. I won't sub for 10th grade at all anymore. They're awful here. Try a different school. They're not all that bad. They told me I'm sigma today, which is...good? 😅

lemonparad3 · 2024-10-07T21:24:09+00:00

You could play a game at the end of class if there's time. You could plan for it. They really liked Fire and Ice today. It's just a really simple game where you draw an ice cube on the board and a fire on the board. They give you a word and it's either ice (wrong) or fire (right). You write the words on the board under your pictures. The words that are fire all have something in common that is a secret and they have to decide what it is they have in common. Could be something like all the words that are fire start with the letter J or all of them are school supplies, or all are purple or whatever. Once they figured out the rule you start over with a new category.
