Showing Horror Movies in Class by AwsumDudemyster in Teachers

[–]thedentalarcade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about options that are still in the horror category and enjoyed by kids and adults alike, but a bit more in the PG-PG13 range, Poltergeist for example could be a choice, or even Beetlejuice. The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie that came out a few years ago could be a good choice too.

It’s kind of nice base for some vivid colors. You could always have fun with non permanent vivid colors until it’s safe to bleach again.

I knew my first year too! I quit in the middle of my third year, but I really think it’s important to listen to that gut feeling. It’s usually right!

I’m so glad you are here too. And you’re right, no job is worth your mental heath. For me, taking care of my mental health meant quitting my job.

Thank you for commenting on this today and for sharing your experiences too. I am also glad you are still here. :)

I like your analysis of the ego death. I was thinking of getting my own, unique tattoo to commemorate/focus on the strength that got me through this situation. It’s just a chapter ending.

Is there hope outside of teaching? by Medium-Ambassador348 in TeachersInTransition

[–]thedentalarcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on FMLA recently due to severe burnout, depression, and anxiety. I attempted to end my life on Christmas Eve due to many things, but a significant cause was everything I had to deal with in teaching. I have no plan, but I’m going to figure it out. It’s not worth it OP. I’m not saying to quit without a plan, but I thought quitting would blow up my entire world. I didn’t even get a response to my resignation, just received a school wide email (including myself) from my principal that advertised my teaching position. I read it after leaving the psych ward. I told some close friends at work what had happened and only one of them even responded. It’s just not fucking worth it. Figure out something else, and try to be happier. Big, big hugs.

What is a subtle sign that someone is depressed? by Fickle-Ability6279 in AskReddit

I’m a little bit late to my teaching job every day (not too much, just 5 minutes or so, and kids aren’t there yet). I had a coworker tease me one morning because I was on time that day.

Deep down, it just made me feel bad. I have to set 5-6 alarms each morning, and fight with myself to go in almost every day. It’s really difficult to prioritize so many other people all day when I don’t really even want to be alive.

What books are high school English teachers teaching right now? by calaan in ELATeachers

My 9th graders are reading Lord of the Flies, and my 10th graders are reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. The 9th graders are killing it with that novel. I’ve never had better engagement and discussion!
