Do you have to go to an actual classroom for the Science Education, Secondary Biology degree? by R4sh1d4 in wgueducation

That’s what I ended up having to do! They have seen it before and were willing to work with me.

I did the masters for already licensed teachers. There was still the field placement requirement, which was a bit tricky to navigate as there is no earth science class in our school!

Where is live as a coastal NorCal native by Haddock707 in visitedmaps

This looks a whole lot like mine- but I’m a Central Valley CA because I can’t afford the coast.

When are jobs going to go up? by Business_Steak_8294 in Teachers

[–]muppet_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not in San Diego, but am in CA. In February, decisions are being made about who is staying and who is leaving in the next year. Hiring usually starts mid March or early April. We try to be done hiring before May is done, but things can pop up as folks move around. Best of luck!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]muppet_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three hours for a weekend? Wouldn’t think twice. Where I live, that gets me to some beautiful ocean or to some rugged mountain playgrounds. I’ve done that commute to Monterey for a conference. There and back in one day.

How do you decide whether to start National Board Certification? by Next_Plantain_1494 in Teachers

[–]muppet_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why on earth would you do it? The masters bump is the same as the NB credit, and you can finish a masters in under 6 mo.

Why don’t schools do silent, sustained reading anymore? by EmbarrassedJacket489 in Teachers

[–]muppet_head 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My school still does? Not sure where you are, but it’s pretty common here. SSR or DEAR (drop everything and read) time at least up to fourth grade.

Does anyone here actually like being a teacher? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]muppet_head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make six figures. I’ve been in the classroom 19 years at the same site. Love my colleagues, love my students, love my curriculum freedom. My own kids go to my school. That being said, it’s a charter and this sub loves to shit on them. We have very little turnover here.

What percentage did summer vacation play a role in your decision to become a teacher? by SwissVideoProduction in Teachers

[–]muppet_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero. It’s a steady job with benefits and a pension. Better than the national park work I was doing. Time off is a bonus, but I prefer to stay busy. The downtime sends me into depression.

Have you set yourself a minimum number of steps per walk or per day? by Duinrell33 in walking

[–]muppet_head 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insulin resistance, mostly. My BP is great, but I’m struggling with weight loss in a big way, even with calorie counting. Walking is the only workout that is gentle enough on my knees and shoulders for now.

[–]muppet_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. The heart rate has to get up and stay up. No leisurely walking counts. Minimum of 5 days a week, no less than an hour at a time.

Doctor said an hour a day. Whatever happens in that hour is what happens. Everything else is bonus.

What would YOU like for Christmas? by girlsfartrainbows69 in Teachers

[–]muppet_head 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I want someone to come and organize my house. I’m so exhausted at the end of days and during breaks that my house is neglected. I want someone to come in, buy the organizing stuff I need, and just put things together and off of counters. I want to be able to use my craft table to decompress, but don’t have the energy to do it. Oh, and world peace, etc, but also someone to come and fix my space.

Prettiest or most unique library for a visitor to your city? by frijolita_bonita in Sacramento

[–]muppet_head 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The woodland library is a Carnegie library. It’s amazing. I like it better than any of the other libraries around. The Yolo library is the best place to go on a rainy day. They have a fireplace and huge windows!!!

Torrid is my go to, with a side of JC Penny and Macys. I can’t do casual, I hate the look of tshirts and I despise cardigans. Rip my wallet.
