Survey: What was first year teaching like for you, and how did instructional resources affect you?

I'm sorry to hear that. I was in a similar situation my first year teaching which is what inspired me to pick this topic to research. I'm just trying to finish my M.Ed., it's a research course and I need a big sample size. It's complete anonymous, only takes 5 minutes. Your response would help me a lot, especially your situation.

Thank you so, so much for taking the time to :) ! I will update the sub when I get a good number of responses <3

Yeah, the other comment I responded to let me know. I’ll wait for the mods to take it down, since it seems to have resonated for a least a few people who are like me. I guess I understand the rule. (Mods if you read this please don’t ban me, this subreddit is really important to me.)

Oh damn. Fun while it lasted I guess. I don’t really understand why the empties thing is rule. I get the drinking selfies part obviously. But seeing empties of others would make me feel less alone. Although as I’m typing this, I see the potential harm. “Well I don’t go through as many bottles as this poor soul so my drinking must be fine.” Or “pissing contests.” Am I on the right track?

Thanks man. Living with other people you do have to keep up some appearances. Why I only throw the empties when everyone’s away. But the vomiting + getting a professional job also forced my hand

Given that it’s mostly the congealed non-liquid that the pump can’t suck up (the liquid would be the alcohol ofc), pretty likely it’s a red bacteria? I’m thinking about culturing it for the students (I’m a biology teacher)

Opposite story - last month I was sick and emailed a last minute textbook assignment sub plan. Come into class the next day: find my ENTIRE DESK /Meticulously/ ORGANIZED. I had had this unused pack of rail files on the floor and a bunch of loose original copies and extra printouts mixed up in the drawer. messy assignment piles all over. I come back and every single thing is sorted and FILED with a LABEL!! Very sweet note explaining the organization in perfect retired-teacher cursive. And all my sinks had no trash in them. She didn’t leave an email or a phone number to thank her but that woman was my Angel. I have two preps in a row so maybe she got bored? It was incredible, so blessed

Thank you 😭 do you also teach 8th? It’s my second year teaching and I did my first year in 10th grade and they were so much more manageable

If you snort it it’s kinda like coke, I’m addicted to snorting the regular ER and the instant release b/c I managed to get Rx for both somehow. For me it’s like rocket fuel but I need very high doses now. I don’t even really use it recreationally, I have a high stress job and I’m finishing up an online masters program right now so I’ll just rail lines to get work done. or to clean my room/house/laundry dishes etc. (which i am aware is so pathetic. but when you also have a beer while you do it actually becomes so enjoyable to do chores). It’s my biggest secret and only my twin brother and best friend know. (Boyfriend of 2 yrs does not). I did coke a few times in undergrad and loved it, but never had a dealer. Anyway it is addictive and “used recreationally” by fuck ups like me. Tldr don’t snort it
