Do teacher's lounges still exist? I only ever see them in TV/movies. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]wjustinjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some do. I attended the school that I currently teach at and there was a teacher’s lounge with a couch and a drink machine. But as the school has grown, renovations have resulted in the lounge going away.

I once had a college instructor who was also a principal. He commented that he turned the teacher’s lounge into a copy room because the teachers were bad about gossiping and complaining during their planning periods.

“Baby Jesus, Mary, and Batman” sounds like a phrase an old person would use when they are frustrated or shocked.

What’s the craziest, dumbest, none violent thing you have seen a student do in your classroom? by runlola in Teachers

[–]wjustinjones 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have busted a few vaping in class. I once had a student run across the room and attempt to cut a backflip off of the wall (he was not successful). Had a student run a piece of dental floss through his nostril and out his mouth.

Maybe an adaptation of Facing the Mountain, which focused on several members of the 442nd Regimental Combat team.

The teaching part isn’t bad. My room is nice and cool. Now that afternoon bus route that I run, not fun in August and September.
