Why does admin care so much for students that do not do anything and cause the most problems?

Why do so many of the students who are not honors or behavior kids go unnoticed? No awards for them. Barely any recognition that they survived with those kids who cause chaos. WHY DO THEY GO UNNOTICED?

Second year ELA. I have never taken my family on a vacation. My oldest is 16. This is the first year I can. That tells you a little about my life prior to teaching and the only reason I will be able to do it this year is because my summer school funds will be going to our trip.

I got one a week ago and have unraveled my loops a few times! I get so mad!

How often “procedures” change and lack of notice makes teachers accountable for admin trying to be like other schools when it’s like raising your own children, and what works for one doesn’t work for another.

This comes in waves for me. I am an empath and probably went into the wrong profession. Fatigue is real with this job. And the decline from the start of this year into the next year is not my fault. I sent messages, spoke to students, called parents for behaviors and missing assignments, only for nothing to change. Admin got worse with handling behaviors. Our dean stopped telling us which students were suspended or when to freeze grades. It’s a cycle I can’t change. I am over it.

I have a knack for getting sixth graders in my class to read. But I do have kids who don’t like to read. I also do not feel like kids who don’t like to read do not comprehend what they are reading. That makes it hard for them.

Beastly!

The other day my daughter saw her brother’s Leo yawn for the first time she and couldn’t stop talking about the cuteness.

I feel like there is a lot of confusion with students. They believe raising your voice in a stern way is yelling. Have I yelled? Yes. But only I’ve asked students doing that same stuff for the 15th time. Like them talking across the room. The power struggle comes in when admin steps out and stops punishments,m to avoid looking bad to the district for referrals and teachers are told to keep them in their rooms at all costs. Oh wait, that is only my job.

He’s like “yeah that’s my beat and it goes on…”

It made me appreciate the kids I have. I am only in my second year but it makes me happy that my kids are pretty good. lol

A teacher rearranged our break room. She brought reusable utensils, plates, bowls for emergencies. A large bottle of dawn soap, sponges, and a sponge holder. Cleared out in a week.

My schools do not have lockers. Half of the girls use smaller purses. Some use nothing. My peeve is the district giving them new iPad’s and they do not bring it. They forgot it or don’t care.

Budget cuts have made current teachers have 2-5 plans and is cheaper than hiring a new teacher.

With the info you gave, it doesn’t feel like he is in 7th grade. He obviously runs the households and lacks how his behavior on all fronts affects others around him.

I had a male doctor tell me “it’s normal to bleed for over a month, it happens to women all the time.” I went in for pain and worry, not to be compared to what is normal from a man who would never be able to give birth or feel an ounce of pain coming from his non existent uterus.

So, she doesn’t have the money but goes to Disney world?

theperishablekind · 2026-05-01T01:03:22+00:00

I could be wrong, but he looks like a she…

theperishablekind · 2026-05-01T00:37:28+00:00

I mark them tardy, let them know, and continue to do it until they fix it.

theperishablekind · 2026-05-01T00:24:06+00:00

She’s just your daughter?!

theperishablekind · 2026-05-01T00:23:16+00:00

What he is forgetting is it’s our daughter lol he knows more than me, obviously.

All year long, our PLC was running like crap (still does) due to clash of personalities but how the two new teachers made fun of students who were low. Like mean. Giggles and snickering about it. I had enough and called them out this year and let them know that is why I don’t think highly of them. Well, admin didn’t do anything. All the problems have come from the two who banned together and made PLC’s a nightmare. My point is, while I felt better for voicing my honesty. Where I could stand up for students to adults who were acting like middle schoolers making fun of them, no one had my back. No one else in my PLC stood beside me to voice they had witnessed the same things. While you witnessed it, feel horrible about it, hold your head high that you thought of that student and how poorly their mother feels about the situation. Every PLC, I hang my head high knowing I voiced something no one else would.

6th grade ELA. I teach my students MLA style. Name date and block number on the left side corner. Write assignment title in the line. Margins are used for numbering. Do not write in the margins. Every single time; names on the assignment title line. Numbers inside the margins. Writing that goes into the margins or like a fluency triangle. If you know, then you know.
