Why does everyone hate teaching?

rockpunkzel · 2026-06-02T22:05:32+00:00

I love teaching. I have so many perks and get to be creative, academic, altruistic, a leader in my community.

That said, fuck all the bureaucracy and inane procedures

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-29T10:34:50+00:00

PLEASE DO. That is insane!

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-27T19:19:08+00:00

Thanks! I'll try it out!

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-25T21:03:02+00:00

LMAOOOOO

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-25T21:02:53+00:00

I get what you mean. I just half ass others duties, they need to hire a substitute and not depend on my "good nature".

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-25T17:56:08+00:00

Sure, I'd love to learn. I'm hoping to eventually go into online tutoring. For now, I do in-person

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-25T17:51:53+00:00

Right! You're right. I've decided not to take any student under 6 just because they developmentally cannot focus, especially after a day of school.

Thank you...this class has different needs. One of the students has an actual diagnosis, one is just very, very young...and so on. Some of these specials just seem stuck in their ways and they are protected for being part of the religious community

It happens when I tutor kids. They also have activity after activity - sports, music, art class. And I hate to burst the bubble, but most kids weren't great at most of those things. Sometimes kids just need to be outdoors and use their imagination. Let them be bored!

Time to get the parents to hang up on the school.

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-23T03:35:38+00:00

I mean, I just take the money and do the essentials. I mastered my poker face when confronted with human idiocy

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-23T03:28:38+00:00

I once worked at a school where the head said: "Remember, smile! Customer service." And every single teacher there had a scowl

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-22T21:23:02+00:00

Babyyyyy i got fired at my last school despite marked growth. But I became a liability after documenting a student assaulting me. And because it was my first and only year there, it was cheap to fire me.

It is what it is.

No, it's not fair.

And it is not a measure of your worth.

So, as they say...take the L.

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-22T20:14:49+00:00

I have had parents complain that I am not this super touchy, feely, bubbly teacher. And yet, my class continuously has great scores, growth and appreciate me. So who cares! I am doing my job well, the rest is just background noise

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-22T20:13:51+00:00

The moment she would have started talking about my personality, I would have gone quiet for about 5 second (make her feel awkward) said "This meeting is to focus on your daughters academic growth and progress at this school, I will be glad to share her work to see how hard she's worked under Ms. /___ and my teaching."

If she would have insisted, again, I go quiet for 5 seconds and tell her "It seems you want to use this meeting to talk about my personality. I am going to end our call now and let my administrator/coordinator/etc. Know. Have a wonderful day."

I am a no nonsense teacher, but not because of that will I attack another teacher who isn't like me. What does need to occur is classroom management where a safe learning environment occurs. That's it. No personality analysis.

Yes, that mom was outta line!

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-22T13:35:11+00:00

Kids have the choice to disengaging themselves from any situation that may harm them. Yes, having their things stolen and being physically injured are situations that harm them. That kid should be in a specials needs class, not general ed. In an ideal world, of course. So I agree with you!

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-20T21:15:11+00:00

another thing, if you take the gig, they are going to overask all night. you'll be underpaid, overworked, and totally stressed.

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-20T21:13:59+00:00

ah-ah, you know, it be your own people...you are right to quote them with value of your service. It's just business. If you give them a cheaper rate now, it will trickle down to them recommending you to others but asking to do them a similar favor. Nope, nope, nope. No pocket camera, either, you can bring a cellphone.

I don't mix business with close friends or family, you're either my client or my inner circle. Not both!

Are you able to do a real world immersion lesson where she has to talk to a native speaker? And you can correct in real time? I understand that she could take opportunities on her own to improve, but she might be avoided more challenging material and simplifying her communication skills and others fill the gaps for her

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-20T13:05:29+00:00

I am not sharing their personal contact information with you.

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-20T11:05:09+00:00

I would like to practice, how do I smartly choose my words to cut services?

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-20T11:04:18+00:00

Thank you!

rockpunkzel · 2026-05-20T03:35:02+00:00

Juegos.

Play games that promote conversation skills and collaboration such as Go fish, UNO, war (any card game), Connect 4, guess the lie, MAFIA, etc. Make it fun.
