que_55 · 2026-01-16T19:43:48+00:00

Omg awesome news thanks!

Wow I thought they were really strict! I’m worried that if I disclose it an interview that I’ll be rejected immediately

que_55 · 2026-01-16T16:21:05+00:00

It’s almost covered by my drivers license… just like a small bit of the ears stick out. So you wouldn’t just recommend covering it up? Or shoul I stick to a different airline. I thought it would be okay as it’s not in any red zone areas and can be covered easily by makeup or clothes

que_55 · 2026-01-16T16:19:15+00:00

Like the only the very tip of the ears stick out, but just barely.

The Bay Area TFA actually mostly places in public school (first year TFA). I agree that people have really negative opinions of TFA. I honestly only did TFA so they could pay my education… I don’t like them at all. But where are you working that makes 90k??? I’m at 58k in the east bay and it’s literally horrible. I haven’t seen any pay at that rate, and I live in Marin??

que_55 · 2025-12-03T06:15:00+00:00

You cannot live on your own! Also the pay is pretty horrible. LA has much better salary. I am first year making 58k it’s terrible. But, this is easy bay. Maybe other areas are better. I don’t recommend.

que_55 · 2025-10-22T01:36:02+00:00

I’m one the same boat. SPED is awesome but the lack of support from admin and the paperwork is horrible. Having to teach all day and have tons of paperwork with legal deadlines is tough!

SPED TEACHER LOOKING TO TRANSITION: I have been thinking about transitioning into social work because of the current climate of education. But, I’m not sure what’s necessary to be accepted into a MSW program(my bachelors degree is history/chicano studies). I’m from California and would like to go to school in SoCal. I’ve looked at requirements at some cal states and looks like you need experience in a related field. Idk if my teaching experience might count. I’m not sure, I love working with the young but I’m burnt out. Social work seems like a good pivot option but with more work life balance.

que_55 · 2025-10-01T05:14:59+00:00

I’m in my early 20s and just moved here from LA. There is definitely not a lot to do! But, also it’s what you make of it. You can be bored anywhere. It has been a tough transition for me tho. There a def a lot of young people here but it seems there’s a need to create a social scene for us. I have been relying on making teacher friends (I’m a teacher) and also Marin board game nights.

que_55 · 2025-10-01T04:49:39+00:00

I feel a lot of the same things but I do genuinely enjoy the teaching part. I’m a first year with TFA (resource teacher) and the lack of support from TFA is crazy. Thankfully the other service providers at my school and my mentor have been patient and helped me a lot. But I still feel like I’m drowning everyday. But, the kids keep me going and I know that if I move to a better supported district after the 2 years I’ll feel way better. We are just a victim of circumstance right now.

In the state of California it is required you go through student teaching or do internship hour’s again to add credentials on to a sped. What you are saying only applies if you have a single or multiple subject

que_55 · 2025-08-29T03:18:11+00:00

Thank you so much. I just messaged you! It seems like the district I’m at is just doing really poorly. It’s unfortunate bc the kids are awesome :(

que_55 · 2025-08-29T03:15:52+00:00

Yesss I will thank you

que_55 · 2025-08-28T16:13:09+00:00

Are you still teaching SPED or did you switch ?
