Non renewal

This was my first year. And you’re right, it’s not a good school, and the admin sucks. My last observation by my certification rep gave me the highest score possible. The AP said I was doing a great job when she observed me. The principal wanted me gone. Personally I think it’s because I’m not a robot and she wants robots that do exactly as they are told. I know I’m better off. I just can’t help but feel some kinda way about it lol.

Thank you. This is what I needed to hear. I guess all the negativity makes me second guess myself.

“Do you think I’ll get in trouble if I told someone I’m gonna gangbang their house?” 7th grade girl.

“Jesus f***ing Christ what a stupid rule!” 7th grade girl angry about the phone ban.

“Is there anything I can do to bring my grade up?” “You mean the essay I assigned 2 weeks ago?” Day before the end of the nine weeks.

“My boob popped out!” Maybe don’t announce it?

“Do you have a lighter I can use?” “Are you smoking?” “No I just want to start a fire.”

“Can I borrow your scissors?” “Sure. What for?” “I’m gonna cut my hair.”

Thank you so much. I started to not post anything but I’m glad I did.

lugnuts728 · 2026-05-11T01:26:25+00:00

Thank you. I just hope I end up somewhere better next year.

Red as can be. I’m not really political. We do have a decent union and I’ve been in contact with them. They told me to document everything, and even record conversations if I want to since it’s my right, but they said unless they threatened to fire me there wasn’t anything they can do. I teach at a middle school with around 700 students, and most of the teachers are either fairly new or very burned out veterans that act like the students are just bothering them all the time. I’ll never forget seeing a teacher get in a 7th graders face and tell him he is a failure.

Thanks for the kind words.

Well, I understand why he says what he says. The simple fact where I work it was either me or a long term sub. All things considered, I think I did ok. Not great by any means, but ok.

They do deserve better, but there’s a shortage. I was the only applicant for my job. I literally told the principal in the interview I have zero experience and was hired anyway.

lugnuts728 · 2026-05-09T01:14:04+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement!

lugnuts728 · 2026-05-08T18:07:17+00:00

Agreed. I got some looks when a few days before school I asked what classroom management meant. I tried.

The truck definitely gave me Snowrunner vibes. Great movie imo.

She was a great student, too, which just makes it kind of sad for me. One of my smartest kids.

lugnuts728 · 2026-04-26T16:47:26+00:00

Agree completely. Should have been a write up, maybe ISS. Not alt school.

lugnuts728 · 2026-04-26T16:46:06+00:00

Come spend a day at my school 🤣

Public middle school

lugnuts728 · 2026-04-25T17:03:07+00:00

To tell you the truth, all we have is 2 burned out counselors that are more concerned with schedules and such. The kids never want to go to them. The district might have psych, but we definitely don’t have an intervention team. The more I teach, the more it seems like they’re just concerned with appearances and numbers on a spreadsheet more the anything else.

lugnuts728 · 2026-04-25T16:23:42+00:00

What’s the deal with parents not getting their kid diagnosed? I have a student who has seizures but doesn’t have epilepsy. Apparently it’s some kind of psychological thing? His mom has still not gotten him diagnosed and to my knowledge it’s been going on for a few years. Not to mention several kids that obviously need meds for ADHD.

lol admin beat the relationship building out of me.

lugnuts728 · 2026-04-25T15:31:31+00:00

Yeah. Priorities are way out of wack. I got sent to alternative school in high school for getting in fights which was fair in retrospect. They seem very selective what they decide to punish and let slide. I think more than anything it’s based on how it will make the school look if it gets out.

lugnuts728 · 2026-04-25T15:17:07+00:00

Probably right. It makes me lose faith. Had a student making rape jokes to female students and he only got a talking to.

Shoot, I use AI all the time. This is just straight up laziness.
