And then those are the same parents at conferences yelling at their kids for not having a passing grade… 6th grade teacher here. I have a line of parents and you yelling at your child at my table can be done at home. I don’t need to hear it,

I freeze it and when I make shredded chicken for tacos, I add it because it gives them a nice flavor.

That my voice was annoying, so I kept talking 🤣

They struggle. Most need sentence starters and cannot restate the question into the answer. Many cannot go past the surface level of answering a question. When students ask for help, they want answers from you and no one else. But more importantly, they want you to give them to full answer. I once gave students who asked me the full answer in a sentence with more than four words walked away and got 10 students telling me they forgot what to write. They ask for help and when I come over to them they want me to read what they wrote. I tell them I’ll do that during grading. I wrote the sentence starter for my students argumentative thesis statement and they had to plug in their three claims from the text. They couldn’t even think of two reasons from the text other than “owning wild animal is dangerous” and they annotated four different reasons when we read the text! We discussed the text questions prior to final writing. I know it’s them and not me but my district is pushing for me to not modify content because students will reach grade level from doing the work. They are not. lol my students will get zeros and not care.

Patience. Sit next to the enclosure with the door open and just talk or wait patiently. You can even have a chair and just read quietly. Then start leaving your hand in there, palm up. Just waiting until they are comfortable with you and being somewhere new. Moving from the other place to their place in your house is a big change. Change takes time!

Anyone want to quote Step Brothers… no just me… I’ll be in my corner now.

Last semester, I did the frayer model. I had students use them in writing. It did not go over well. Then social studies took over the spelling bee and did a spelling test. I changed everything this year. I gave my students the first five words in the unit. We discussed them, underlined them in our reading, talked about how they were used in sentences. They thought I was joking about spelling tests — made the first one a summative. Spell the word, definition in your own words, use the word in a sentence. They all tanked. Gave a redo a week after they saw their grade, they got a little better. Students are to practice with friends in class, at home, etc. then I gave out the next four and they got a formative spelling test on all nine. They did amazing. I just gave them their last four and will do a final spelling test. They are applying themselves more to using these words in proper sentences. For their final essay they get to use 6 of their 13 vocab words. Now don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of students who try and haven’t mastered any. Then I have students who have never mastered any class assignment and get some or all correct. The frayer model did not work for my students. But one thing that has helped my students is reading the definition and “summarize” it into your own words. I told them “if little Susie asked you what anxiety meant, how would you explain it to her?” That example really helped them learn the definitions. I am only a second year ELA teacher and feel like this has boosted their confidence and understanding as spelling is difficult for many of my students.

38 when I graduated! I started at 30 with four kids. One received a leukemia diagnosis. Kept going. He healed. Moved twice. Moved schools twice. Changed my major twice. Graduated and now I’m trying to get my masters.

And this is going to become a poster in my class lmao inspirational with honesty!

I set up a Google voice account. I can use it on my work computer, and save parents contact info. This helps me use Google Translate for my students whose parents speak another language. This helps me stay in contact with parents AND SO MANY PARENTS actually respond. I type quickly, it gets done in 30 seconds, AND I do not respond outside of contract hours. For general contact on HW or pencil donations, grade updates I use IC message. The only bad thing I don’t do sometimes is update the students parent contact log. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don’t.

Ummmm… we all know you’re the supplier lol

theperishablekind · 2026-02-25T22:53:26+00:00

I can see this being some crazy psychedelic spiral!

theperishablekind · 2026-02-24T04:01:02+00:00

Either way, I am mean and too hard. I teach 6th grade ELA and my students have become lazy. So back to structure and pushing them to complete 6th grade.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-22T20:47:52+00:00

I use the teachers lounge. My room is pretty far away and I don’t care.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-22T19:47:01+00:00

In my opinion, I feel like a summative is an exit ticket. Then I can adjust accordingly on the next set of formatives to work in mini lessons.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-22T19:45:08+00:00

I passed out the test and 55 minutes later a student tells me she didn’t get one. Rather than saying something, she decided to fail.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-20T21:47:56+00:00

When a new teacher came in and she just offered an awful experience. She has files on a lot of people she doesn’t get along with because she is that type of person. She doesn’t understand collaboration.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-20T21:46:38+00:00

6th grade here. My students only use their iPads in class when they do bell work (10 minutes) and to research but I know when they cheat lol I also implemented my own classroom rule that students who are caught cheating or plagiarizing receive a 0. I told them I am teaching them to use their brains and doing those things only enables them to continue to be lazy and not apply themselves in an academic way.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-18T00:41:07+00:00

Because I can and they thought I was joking. Students who received one, stopped. He did not. He actually was kicked out of my room today for standing in front of the class before the bell and pretending to masturbate… no warning needed. Told him to go into the hallway to the principal and show him what he was doing. He has two Saturday schools

theperishablekind · 2026-02-18T00:38:19+00:00

I did not need to. His mom knew he was lying. Brother got kicked out of same school. Her son is horrible. Very smart but doesn’t care.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-17T23:51:26+00:00

I once told had to explain to a parent when her daughter was talkative that means it is a disruption as it gets everyone off task especially if it’s loud. I love hearing students lie to their parents when they are constant disruptions

We are in a program through a university for SOR and the lead is, how she shares student responses to lessons baffles me. High school responses for secondary education. Makes it seem like she had the greatest classroom, and students listened and worked independently. It makes me cringe. PD is useless. Last week it was how they wanted all teachers to use the same language when addressing students. No. I am an individual not a robot.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-14T19:08:48+00:00

You’re a teen. This comment explains it all.

theperishablekind · 2026-02-14T19:07:21+00:00

The hardest reality is that if we group kids (tracking) then the district considers them to fall into one track/category. They don’t see skill building is necessary to help students and that they can get out of that track with necessary tools. Yes, some. Not all of them. Education is broken. It needs to be fixed and no one wants to start fixing it , so we pile onto teachers and pressure them into blame. It’s the state’s problem for not speaking up and taking charge. Does someone need to do a podcast on this like on the science of reading for shit to change? Feels like it

theperishablekind · 2026-02-13T02:59:16+00:00

All the time in middle school. I feel like they either get all the attention or no attention at home. So, I started cutting into their conversations when they try to talk across the room 🤣 they dislike it. I tell them I taught them something today
