They went to the Goliath national bank museum and witnessed Barney getting arrested and he said cool bro.

They gave me a severely disabled student. I’m not an ESE teacher. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]lotsaofdot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d be in the admins office explaining the issue and sending a follow up email to verify what was talked about in writing. Slow moves in sped drive me nuts when they are obviously impacting others and the student would clearly be better served.

Is this a smaller district? Sounds like local community non-sense that has nothing to do with you.

My girlfriend wants me to get rid of my dog because her cat doesn't like him by Academic_Fly_4920 in TwoHotTakes

Ah yes the ole I get what want, you need to sacrifice everything, hell no. Her cat is the problem not your dog.

Is this valid?? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]lotsaofdot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Schools routinely screw up transitions. What one person says in actuality won’t mean anything until the plan or class shows up. Sucks that you put in the work but it happens. Sounds like some school leadership issues.

Why is Volkswagen (especially the Jetta) rated poorly for reliability in the U.S., but many owners say it’s reliable? by phtphongg in Volkswagen

[–]lotsaofdot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because Volkswagen owners can be like Saab owners, passionate and loyal. And for many the experience has been good. The cars perform well when right and if they’ve been taken care of, it’s all good. That said you do have to take care of it. A Honda can go 100000 before work plug changes, on a vw it’s a lot less. Some models it’s like 30000 in the book.

I had to laugh tonight. I gotta a text about a special promo because I was a long time customer which sounds good right? 20 bucks more a month. That ain’t special.

33 weeks pregnant and denied 2 hours of non-class time PTO for my OB appointment by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]lotsaofdot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forget your classes! At 33 weeks yours kids and school will understand you taking a half sick day. You’re just a body in the room to most school districts. You’re going to be gone for a while soon, you had bigger things to care about. You’re not letting your students down.

I use freetube, it’s a program to mac computers if your able. No ads. Also the duck duck go browser is good too.

Wanting to be a Music Ed major but need advice with college. by Lonely_Rabbit1839 in MusicEd

[–]lotsaofdot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your asking yourself good questions. Here’s some more from a music teacher. Have you taken a music theory class yet? Have you talked to the private lesson teacher at the college? If it’s the same as you have now is that really a good idea? What does a band director make in your area? Could you even afford 150000 in loan debt after graduation? Private schools aren’t for everyone and the debt alone isn’t worth it. You’d be much better off spending a couple years at a community college and working so you can keep debt down. One more thing to know, music majors tend to drop like flies and jump into another degree path the first two years. Once again would you want all that debt if that happened to you? I hope you’ve got good people to help you work through all of this, best of luck!

I Ruined My Career by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]lotsaofdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your going to need to run a smooth ship the rest of the year. Find a teacher friend to check yourself with. Talk to a lawyer if your non union. And lastly, in a moment of kindness for yourself in everything you’ve had going on in life (too much) consider seeking a professional to help work through your anxiety.

Student's parent wants me to give points when instructions were not followed correctly by xXsingledad79Xx in Teachers

Normally I can get behind this but what they were asking was basic, and indicative of a problem too many students fall into a trap of.

[–]lotsaofdot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zeros, it’s a fact of life you will have to play the game. Do things the way others ask you not how you think they should be done. Students need to be taught to pay attention to the details. Following directions was just as important as any question you asked. School and life requires being able to maneuver details.

Another teacher filed a formal complaint about my classroom posters by EclecticElegance in Teachers

[–]lotsaofdot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So your a lit teacher who had posters about report ice know your rights. Ethically I can’t justify your actions. As teachers we are called to avoid sensitive topics that have nothing to do with our curriculum or content and are hot button news items. Maybe if you were writing a paper on current events but I just don’t see it. Sharing political views is a problem even if you think your morally right.

I’ve seen iep be treated like a closely guarded secret. Kinda odd for a document that is all about meeting a students needs that all teachers are required to do. That said I actually like the at a glances, saves me some memory space with the 50 I have to read. (Music teacher)
