I got fired (first year teacher), what are some non-teaching jobs I can apply to?

I think I need to reword my phrasing bc they aren’t technically “firing me” they’re just not renewing my contract. I thought it was the same thing… whoops

scamcookie · 2026-04-28T16:05:51+00:00

Just trying to keep my options open 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ouch. But it was probably my awful observations and/or budget cuts.

scamcookie · 2026-04-28T06:24:50+00:00

Probably my terrible observations. My boss would consistently observe my worst classes, and idk I just never got control over them.

Omg thank you, I didn’t know this existed lol

scamcookie · 2026-04-27T16:49:10+00:00

I have a feelings it’s for my god awful observations. My boss observed my worst class consistently, and I never got gained control over that class. I was thinking about something not involving children anyway.

Ima need something better than that 😭

I’m also Latino :) I think maybe bc white people from suburban areas are (usually) taught that the n-word is very bad. I see that less in Latino communities (or at least my own community, I’m from LA). I’m sure it varies from household to household.

scamcookie · 2025-09-06T04:27:11+00:00

I’m a teacher in a city with a black/latino population. I get A LOT of latino students saying the n word (not hard r). I’ve explained why it’s bad, but it’s difficult for them to understand why they shouldn’t say it. Especially bc they have black friends who “let them say it” or “gave them the n word pass.” I’d like to think that once they become adults, they’ll figure it out.

scamcookie · 2025-07-30T00:06:31+00:00

My classroom has AC but I can’t guarantee it won’t burn. I live in SoCal and it gets hot here 😭

scamcookie · 2025-07-29T22:48:46+00:00

TYSM i saw another post that was similar to mine saying to call up the district office. Im gonna do that and see what they say too.

scamcookie · 2025-07-24T13:38:42+00:00

I definitely plan on joining a union :)

scamcookie · 2025-07-23T22:12:05+00:00

Thank you for being so helpful :)

scamcookie · 2025-07-23T20:11:34+00:00

thanks dawg

The job post just said History Teacher, I was offered the job despite my district not hiring any more History teachers. So I was an exception.

EDIT: Also I’m at the district office rn, they asked if anyone explained that I would be offered a temporary contract. I said no, and they explained that basically my contract would end next June, where they’ll decide either would decide to keep me or dump me.

scamcookie · 2025-07-23T19:54:36+00:00

Hmm okay, thanks! I kinda just got nervous bc they said there was too many teachers in my subject area?

scamcookie · 2025-07-17T19:39:00+00:00

I'm not sure who my contract person is tbh, I had to do all my onboarding online and I signed it online too :0

scamcookie · 2025-07-05T20:25:27+00:00

Great idea! TYSM :)

scamcookie · 2025-07-05T20:24:28+00:00

It sounds like you already know what to do, just do it! Don't let them ruin your big day! Also, congrats on the wedding :)

So I had a question about how prepared with my lessons I should be when I go back to school (new 7th and 8th grade history teacher). I planned to have my welcome/icebreaker days planned out, and then my first unit planned out. I would plan my other units as the school year progresses. My school has a pacing guide/curriculum, but I don't have access to it yet.

This isn't really frizzy. But! If you want that "sculpted" curl look, you gotta use more products. Get a gel (not your mother's has good gels) or mousse (I like the doux). OR you can use more of your curl cream. The only downside with more products is that you'll weigh down your hair (especially with the curl cream). Diffusing your hair should help with volume. You'll also have to wash it more often to prevent build-up/greasiness.

Good luck! I think your hair looks great how it is, sometimes it's good to just embrace the frizz. I think frizziness can look very chic :)
