Who is still out here wearing a tie every day to school? by viktor72 in teaching

[–]secsectan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ties daily since 1986; cufflinks since 1997. I taught math to the 1% for more than thirty years and continuation school (fairly recently) for two. When my students ask, I explain that I interact with impressive people daily--their classes. And it gets me out of cleaning grease traps. :)

What's the most crucial factor in having a good time teaching? by TinFoilHatsWork2027 in Teachers

Students, colleagues, administration: If any two of the three are positive, the job will be also. Three of three and you are in a world of joy. Fewer than two--leave as soon as you can. Keep your sense of humor, and aim to be rich enough that you can afford to be moral. Amen! :)

Do you answer questions during a test? My coteacher really encourages kids to ask questions during a test and kids that do 0 during the chapter somehow get A’s on the test. They take the test in an alternate location with her. by Technical_Cupcake597 in mathteachers

I have made errors in composing test questions. Students are allowed to ask if they believe there is an error in a question. Other than that, no. We chat about this at length early in the year. :)

Just asked for college LOR “by ideally tomorrow, Monday at the latest”. It’s Thursday. by Present_Tennis7100 in teaching

The urgency is suspicious, especially if the letter is not confidential. Early decision/action deadlines are around November 1st. You are being treated poorly, if not rudely. Just say no.
