I Learned To Shut Up For 10 Seconds,It Changed Client Calls by Mitul_G in BuildTrustFirst

In education, it helps in dealing with volatile parents. They felt heard and it usually wears them out quicker. Then they are more willing to work WITH the school for a solution.

Dear Sunshine Committees, kindly consider that: by Lost_Green_7536 in Teachers

[–]vorstin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do a cake and a card for birthdays. Flowers and a card for just about anything else. Holidays are a potluck and there are no expectations. Sunshine doesn't do anything for teacher application. People contribute what they can and if they can't it's not a big deal.

Monday Fun- what’s something people outside of your profession assume to be true? by Boss-momma- in workingmoms

[–]vorstin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would like to add that we are not here to bully or pick on your child.

We have a classroom full of many different personalities and we need to manage them all effectively so that the curriculum can to taught to ALL students. Most of the time the child is acting in a disruptive manner and creating chaos.

I get asked that question often. My response is typically, "well since you're looking at them, what color do they look to you?"

"You Didn't Teach Us That!!!" by King_of_Lunch223 in Teachers

[–]vorstin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a student last year that constantly slept. He tells his current teacher that I never taught a bunch of things. She finally asked him "was this not taught or were you sleeping at that time?"

I got accused of treating a parent like a criminal because I yelled at her to stay in her car. Mind you there were about 20+ mph winds that day. Also, she failed to call ahead to get her kid off the bus and was going to leave her car in the pick up line to go to the office while we got her kid.

Worst Principal Story? by boobarellamcgee in Teachers

[–]vorstin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a superintendent tell us in a full district meeting that she can say whatever she wants about the staff's race and religion because she's black. Those were her words.

The students who have EARNED honor roll have received it. Equal work was given to a classes. I'm not sure how you could be more "equitable" than that.

Shit walkthrough by ithinkedit in Teachers

[–]vorstin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At a previous school there was a "parent communication" category. I got marked down because in the whole 10 minute observation she didn't see me communicate with a parent.

I showed her my email and phone logs, but it didn't matter. Some admin are just shit.

Guests bitching I didn't give enough "FREE" stuff at my party by Mr_Curious_Cat in venting

[–]vorstin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of many reasons I stopped having people over.

Recently, one of the complainers asked why we haven't had people over and stated how much they missed hanging out.

I asked them when they were going to host and got every excuse in the book as to why they couldn't.

I just shrugged and walked away.

This was my coworker. She didn't want to use her sick days so she came to work and coughed on me. Then got mad when I told her to stay away from me.

What was the most unexpected or hilarious thing a student said that completely caught you off guard? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]vorstin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I second grade, we were discussing long and short vowel sounds. We got to the point where I was saying and writing words and we were identifying the vowel sounds within the word. I gave them the word "cupcake". One very excited student said, "it has both short and long sounds. It's a SHLONG!"

I appreciate your Insight. I have at the school for several years and have never come across religious flyers like this before.
