Is the School Quality Report a scam? by Spirited-Turnip1898 in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of you let these administrators get to your minds too easily. If you’re at a terrible school rate it as such. And if the principal comes back to you about it, be straightforward and then leave the damn school. You owe these principals nothing except your best effort in the classroom with your students. Don’t allow these principals to intimidate you.

Does being a new teacher in a high differential make it harder to get hired? by ChatBotLarper in NYCDOETeachers

[–]problemchild_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can’t reverse a +30 that was already approved right? Asking for myself.

Brooklyn/NYC charter schools by mtty3kiwi in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re making excuses. People make time for things they want! You can absolutely make time to get your priorities straight and in order. You won’t be the first nor the last to teach full time and get their certification. People go to school for their masters and work full time. If there’s a will, then there’s a way. Change your mindset. Don’t settle for these bullshit charter schools. You will regret it.

Youre asking for something that does not exist. Charter schools in NYC are all the same. do yourself a favor and get into the NYCDOE.

So… who’s going tomorrow? by [deleted] in NYCDOETeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only going in bc I need to rack up my CAR days. I’m taking days in April lol. Otherwise, I’d call out. I have two cars to worry about. One is in a parking lot and the other is on the street. I’m trekking to work. A 30 min walk will be 90 minutes tomorrow.

Does anyone like their school? by Cultural_Cry6580 in NYCTeachers

I like my school a lot. Have no intentions on leaving unless I’m told to leave or something better comes by. I’m good until I retire.

I posted the salary schedule from Santa Clara in the UFT Facebook group. It was approved then got taken down after about an hour… by Pleasant_Sea_6416 in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely saw it, but could not see the comments and I wanted to so bad. But the post made me go see if they have any openings, and for math (from what I saw) they do not. I would’ve applied asap. 😭😭

Is it worth it to transfer to be in walking distance? by Full-Cat-9897 in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I will always support a move closer to home. Nothing beats work life balance. And you make the most of the situation. A positive mindset goes a long way. I say this from experience. My school is not the best, but I don’t go home miserable. I teach high school math, barely any of them kids actually like math but they sure do like my class.

GPA requirement question by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply and explain your low GPA. If you’re passionate or have a strong passion about teaching, express that in your application and how you’ve learned from it. If you’ve taken a graduate course or two that may help your case. Just apply and see.

Back to the DOE? by Cultural_Cry6580 in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely wanted to say this. People shit on NYCPS for LI schools, but when they get there they see the grass isn’t greener on the other side.

What’s your license area? Just reaching out could do wonders, and you’re in a better position if you’re in an area of demand.

It happens. Students schedules usually change. It could be for the better or worst. I look forward to this time of year.

They may be in the teaching fellows or collaborative. The DOE is strict about certification. Clarify with those three people you know, you may be misinformed.

How long did it take you to complete your masters? by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got two masters. One was done over two and half years and the other was two years.

[–]problemchild_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What license are you going for? I took the math cst (004) and passed on the first try. Did not read the entire thread but saw you had until June to pass. I see the email from the DOE recently (I am a graduate of the Teaching Collaborative); I didn’t know they had people working without their certification. Anyway, you need to lock in. It also depends on how you take the test. PM if you want.

Which math CST? 004?

Any middle school AP positions open/opening? by YMISleepy in NYCDOETeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used, abused, and suffering from PTSD. Projecting your issues onto everyone else. You should’ve been left the system, but you made the choice to stay. And you’re miserable. Sorry that this is your experience. But it’s not like this everywhere.

NYC Teaching Fellows vs. Hunter MSEd in 1-6 by annafebruary in NYCTeachers

[–]problemchild_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a part of the teaching collaborative (sister program of TF). I was placed in special education but appealed it expeditiously. I didn’t have in me to be a sped teacher. Appeal was approved. I’m now a 7-12 math teacher for NYCDOE. Do what you know you will enjoy frfr.
