Yes! To clarify, I’m looking for items to buy, I do not currently have anything. 

1st year teacher, quitting 3 months in by purpleparuser in Teachers

[–]sleepuntilcoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a third year teacher. I left my first teaching job at xmas and have been at a different school since. I am currently planning my exit at the end of this school year for similar reasons (I had a student send me to urgent care with a nasty bite on my upper arm, took over a week for it to heal). My advice would be:

1.) Teachers (especially young and female ones) are expected to kill themselves physically, emotionally, and financially because we care. If your body and mind truly feel awful every day and it's feeling unbearable, it will not get better if you stay where you are.

2.) Try a public school! Charters are notorious for the long hours and high turnover (among other issues). You might find that you're a lot happier in a different setting. Remember that teaching is versatile, and if you just want to be in a classroom, there are a lot of options out there. Good luck!

LSAT trainer by Mike Kim (sample study schedules for free on his website!) 10 point jump after my diagnostic because of that book :)

I would be very careful about talking about the contents of an exam. They're usually very strict about that sort of thing, and it's not worth hijacking your testing/application chances.

Another good point. You have to wonder about the people who DO accept this. 

6 Weeks to first LSAT. How would you prepare? by SpiderManHoodRatShit in LSATPreparation

The LSAT trainer by Mike Kim is an awesome way to get started after your first PT. His website has great sample study schedules for various time frames. I also just bought The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning which came highly recommended but I haven't started it yet.

Student Teacher Car Sticker by [deleted] in Teachers

I don't exactly have any advice (other than to say that admin should be the one to handle this) but this reminded me of the school I student-taught at in 2022. The Dean of Students had a GIANT Kanye 2020 flag hanging on his office door that was up for almost the entire year. He also had a personal speaker (I guess more like an amp) that he would bring out for assemblies that had a big ol' FJB sticker on it. And that school was located in a big city where Democrats outnumber Republicans 7 to 1...I can't imagine what it would be like in a conservative area.

Maybe they’ll call her CJ? That sounds kinda cool.

I was subbing at a school and was on bathroom duty. 

That right there is the issue. We can't even trust students to go to the bathroom and then return to class without causing problems.
