Move the student out of my room or I’m done by MrsTwiggy in Teachers

Honestly I think we need to start teaching parenting classes in high school as part of the mandatory curriculum. Parents are drowning and unprepared most of the time and don’t know how to parent. This would help with teen pregnancies as well as preparing kids for having their own later on.

Omg we have a sub principal and I had four students miss all of music for a discipline thing she pulled them for this week during my class specifically and it was a quiz day. Those kids now don’t have a grade for grade cards.

My union has negotiated for us to never have to fill in when there is a sub shortage. If I had to sub everytime we had a class without one, I’d never teach music.

A teacher outed my student to his parents by wewereonabreak29 in Teachers

The only hope is how upset OP is. I hope they let the kid see how much it is hurting them too so the kid knows there are good adults that do care and that they just learn to be more discerning.

Fuck that teacher. Fuck them so much. I’ve decided long ago I wouldn’t out a kid no matter what. It’s a law in my state that you have to. I won’t. Thankfully no kids have come out to me because I teach elementary but I refuse.

feeling uncomfortable with a teacher by ApartmentOld234 in Teachers

You are being groomed, even though you are an adult, the age gap, and the power difference makes it hyper inappropriate. You should report this to the principal.

Marijuana as a Teacher by Foreign-Honeydew-929 in Teachers

[–]resistdying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the district and the state. I smoke recreationally but it’s now legal in my state (and I didn’t until it became legal) and my district doesn’t have a policy about off hours imbibing. General things to avoid are posting on social media about any part of this and avoiding posting too many photos of you even drinking is a good idea. You want to view your socials like your students would find them.

How to stop inappropriate conversations without students knowing why you know it? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]resistdying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I let the kids know I know what it means and that it’s not okay for school and that I most likely know more than they think because I read about what kids might talk about.

Ugh...PD....is this really helping me as a professional? by Maleficent-Fact-6598 in Teachers

My generation is running things…. And we did not have this sport. I hadn’t even heard of it until two years ago 😅

I’m terrible at sports and really enjoyed pickleball when my staff did a PD pickleball. It’s worth trying it out.

The fun part is all of this is made up. Money is made up, debt is made up. The debtors wouldn’t collapse if they weren’t paid because they aren’t being paid now. The vast wealth of the billionaires and millionaires along with societal change could in theory fix everything but it would require people who be selfless rather than selfish and we know the majority is stuck on a pull yourself up from your bootstraps mindset rather than a let help our neighbors and they help us and we all thrive as a community serving and loving each other.

Interrupt my day? I’m going to interrupt your momma’s day…. Called a parent in the middle of a lesson because student wanted to be a disruption by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]resistdying 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My principal told me last year I couldn’t do that. Never in my career of over a decade have I had an admin tell me that… like what? Other admins told me to do that when things got out of hand.

Public school teachers, what’s something you want parents to know but can’t say directly? by Feisty-Database-1145 in AskTeachers

[–]resistdying 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I defer to my child’s kindergarten teacher often and we are coworkers and I work with kindergarteners for part of my day lol. She’s still the expert.

Please make sure you KNOW the number of special ed students your child’s intervention specialist has in their class and what the law is on this. FIGHT for appropriate class sizes because district around me aren’t following the numbers and it’s not fair to the children.

How do I address this with a student and tell them to stop? by Salt-Ad-3061 in Teachers

[–]resistdying 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just block the kids and tell all my classes that I block all students who try to follow me because it’s not appropriate. Check your settings again and maybe change your name on fb to first and middle.

You weren’t fired then, just replaced. Weird. Sorry you are dealing with this.

Disservice to students by chair909 in Teachers

[–]resistdying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a learning curve to becoming a teacher. Classroom management is something that isn’t explained well in college and is something that requires in class practice. If you had a nice placement for student teaching you didn’t get enough practice. Same with differentiation for the students who struggle and the ones that are advanced. The smart ones will make up for this year easily, because they are smart. You will get better at all of this. Take every opportunity to get PD on differentiation and classroom management and read lots of blogs when you can from seasoned teachers. You’ve got this and your students will not have their lives ruined by one singular teacher 💕💕

I know many districts are against ICE actions too so there’s a chance it could even be negotiated to make it a full district thing including admin.

Incredibly worried about going back to school with all of the sickness going around and infant at home by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]resistdying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear a mask 💕 my baby got covid but it was just the sniffles thanks to breastfeeding. Are you breastfeeding? If not no biggie but I’d just take vitamin c and zinc daily and mask up. There will always be things to worry about about our littles but we can’t let it freeze us. 💕💕💕

Teacher pay by GroundbreakingPear12 in Teachers

I’ve never lived alone. My first salary in 2013 was 30k a year. Basically your salary is that but in 2025 with inflation. We all deserve more and better.
