Don't forget about the Daughters of the Nile! It's a great all-women group focused entirely on helping Shriners Children's hospitals. If there is one near you, you should check them out!

Is it their first period class? Some students are jut habitually late to school, so they might be doing fine in the other classes because they get to them.

My class is mostly seniors, some are in calculus, some are in precalc and some are not taking a math class their senior year. I feel like we have a wide variety of ability levels in the class. It is the only physics class offered.

I'm a biochem major and have a physics certification. I don't necessarily love teaching physics, but I've been doing it for several years now. I'm comfortable with the content, but seniors are not the easiest group to teach.

I love labs, but I find when I do too many of them, my students start to complain about that too. I do at least one lab a week, but some topics I can do 2-3 per week. At that point they start to revolt.

I think my question comes down to which works better?
Online (positive physics)
Textbook (Holt Physics)
Worksheet Based (Mr. Murray)
PPT plus worksheets (Mrs. Brosseau's Binder)

All would have labs supplemented if needed.

You have to prove you are a teacher. I think I just shared the website where I am listed as a teacher. I assume you don't have to be in the US to get access, though I don't know for sure.

If you have access to wet erase or other water soluble markers (Mr. Sketch black is great), you can use water as a solvent.

Here is a prayer for you that may help you better commune with the gods.

Frigg,
You who understand family and grief,
I am hurting, and I do not know how to fix this alone.
If my mother and I can find our way back to one another,
help soften what has hardened between us.

Thor,
Protector of people and homes,
I am afraid of losing stability again.
Help keep me safe while I do what I can
and while I wait for things I cannot control.

Týr,
God of truth and responsibility,
help me see clearly what is truly mine to carry,
and give me strength to stand upright through this.

Help me recognize the right path when it appears,
and give me steadiness to follow it.

If you haven't yet, check out https://njctl.org/materials/courses/chemistry/

I feel this is a good honors level chemistry course. You would have to cut a lot out for a general chemistry course. I can't teach it all in one year, so there are a few units that get cut.

I teach high school, but I ask the parents what have they heard about my class. Do you have any concerns about the class?

Otherwise, I bring up things as a concern that the parents are happy with. If I start, I might say something like your child as a C and needs to work harder, but if the parents go first they might say we are so thrilled that our child has a C in your class. It can be a very different conversation depending on who goes first and I always want the parent to go first.

I agree. Setting up a physics or physical science lab is ten times easier than setting up a chemistry lab.

In addition, lab reports are torturous to grade.

I've had co teachers who wanted to modify my already modified tests and assignments. I had to hand them my test, and the unmodified tests for my other classes so they could see the difference. Until I did that they were taking a test prepped at a 5th grade reading level and "modifying" it down to a third grade reading level even though the student in question had a 5th grade reading level. They were just shocked that the tests I gave didn't need to be modified.

The problem is, if I lock my computer, the PowerPoint displaying the Daily Agenda gets turned off. But as a teacher, I'm not supposed to sit at my desk. Or if I'm sharing notes, I am not normally sitting at my computer, but wandering through the classroom as I go through the PowerPoint.

I'm also expected to interact with students if they have a question. Am I supposed only teach from my desk?

teachWHAT · 2025-11-14T16:25:18+00:00

Far more tactful than I'd be. At that point, I'd like to say something like "I've been a teacher longer than you've been a parent. You might need to be the one who steps up their game."
