I’m a new middle school home ec teacher. I am joining a new school and the janitors use the home ec washer and dryer for their mops and other supplies. Personally, I think this is not food safe and pretty icky. Thoughts? There is another set in the special ed dept that is used occasionally for non food related uses. Think this is worth bringing up? submitted by /u/Upstairs_Twist_9154 [link] [comments]
For context, I'm speaking of high school mathematics. Do you ever come across students that are clearly very weak with a big ego due to high grades with previous teachers? I'm a second year teacher noticing this more and more. "I got an A in Mrs. X's class and now have a B in Mr. SleeveOfWizard's class. I would like to switch teachers." What makes it tough is that, due to the high grades on paper, administration views the new grades as unacceptable and not representative of their abilities. It almost feels like gaslighting, and like an issue no one wants to really talk about in great depth. How do you reconcile this? In your eyes, is this immediately a sign of the previous teachers' grade inflation or poor instruction on my end? How does one tell? submitted by /u/SleeveOfWizardddd [link] [comments]
The situation: I had about 300 feet of multicolor LED Christmas lights hanging from the roof supports on my ceiling. I loved them, and my students loved them. They provided plenty of light without interfering with my projection screen or sucking the life right out of my eyeballs. I had to take them down because, apparently, they are defined as “temporary” and not supposed to be used for more than 90 days. We all agree this sucks, but regulations are what they are—we have to have a certificate of occupancy. So what I need from y’all is verifiably legal and appropriate lighting solutions. What have you got that you know that you know that you know has cut muster with your most restrictive admin? (My admin is amazing, to be clear, but the building inspector holds the power here.) I’m reeling from searching Amazon, Walmart, etc. without any confidence that what I think *might* work actually *will* work. I’m looking for specific products, not broad categories. Pictures and/or links are very
I am a veteran teacher, been doing this for 30 years and today was the last school day for my kindergarten class. Exactly one parent sent in something her child made to thank us for our work with her daughter. I am not in need of gifts and I understand completely how bad the economy is for many young families but I am saddened by the lack of appreciation shown by parents now. I think it's a bad indicator for how our society is devolving. Is this happening in most public elementary schools or just my district? submitted by /u/Fragrant_Ad_2515 [link] [comments]
Have you seen people using these in your school? And when you tell them it’s AI they either don’t understand or don’t care? This year, our music teacher taught the whole school this nice inspirational positive song and they would sing it when they were feeling down. Great idea, but the song is completely AI along with a bunch of 10 second clips of children “singing” it. Like there was plenty of real alternatives. On another instance, We were asked to show students a “read-aloud” on bus safety that was also obviously written by AI and the pictures of buses were extremely distorted. One said: “SCHOULL BUS”. The kids laughed at points because of how ridiculous it was. Edit: Thank you all for answering my question! Looks like the answer was yes, and half of you don’t have a problem with it at all 🤣 Have a great summer submitted by /u/AntelopeOk9431 [link] [comments]
I'm a new teacher and I feel like the fastest way to bond with coworkers is through complaining. Not necessarily malicious gossip, but just being negative together. If someone is venting about admin, students, parents, another teacher, etc., and I empathize and join in, it feels like they instantly warm up to me. But if I respond with something positive or try to reframe it, the conversation dies and they get defensive. If I don't validate their feelings or don't talk along, they don't like me. I don't really want negativity to be the foundation of my work relationships. I've noticed that I started this year of positively and now I'm feeling increasingly negative. I haven't found someone yet that I can switch this dynamic around with. Someone who actually like their job and wants to be positive together. Is this just how adults bond at work, or have you found ways to get along with your coworkers without constantly complaining together? submitted by /u/Various-Aioli-4620 [link] [commen

Good afternoon!!! I live in so cal and I have been teaching for about 10 years. I was really struggling after having 2 interviews this week. They went ok but I just have a feeling I won’t get them. I moved over to special education about 2 years ago (I was a gen ed elementary teacher before). Just giving you some context. Every single job I have gotten (3 teaching jobs now) has been after the school year started. My first job, I got about a month into the school year. I stayed a long time and got tenure. I moved for other reasons and got a job at a local district after the school year started. First year was great, second year I went to a new school who had admin turnover in the middle of the year and I had some medical concerns. Got non renewed. My most recent job took me a little longer to get, but I got hired into the school year and worked for that district for over a year and a half. I was finishing my credential and I was an intern. I just completed my internship and I am on the
Hey there. I’m a teacher in a rural area and I’m starting to think about eventually leaving the classroom. Teaching was not originally my plan, but after moving to a rural area, it became one of the most stable career options. I got my teaching license and have spent a few years in the classroom. While I truly enjoy working with students and watching them learn and grow, I’m finding the workload and constant outside-of-school prep to be really overwhelming and hard to sustain long-term. Now that I’m starting a family, I’m also trying to think more seriously about work-life balance and being present at home. Our area also has very limited childcare options, which adds another layer of difficulty. Has anyone here left the classroom? If so, what direction did you go in, and how did you decide it was the right move? submitted by /u/blu_cleo [link] [comments]
For context I live in WA state and just finished my first year teaching. The job market for teachers is sooo oversaturated. A single job posting will get over 50 applications. There is a position I really want that popped up. I submitted my application, but I know it will get lost among people with more years of experience than me. Would it be bad/annoying if I email the principal of the school and politely let them know I am super enthusiastic about the position and directly ask to be interviewed? I don't want to come off as desperate (but I am lol). I know if I don't change something about my approach to job apps I will not get a job for next school year. Also at a place I interviewed a bit ago the principal called me and told me I didn't get the position but she thought I was great and said she would call principals to tell them to interview me. I said thank you but idk how that would actually go down. If I asked her to do that and the principal she calls asks why she didn't hire me

I’m in college to be a teacher. I’ve seen some pretty horrible behaviors, bad admin choices, lack of discipline, no parental support already. It’s scaring me away. Even in my student teaching & subbing, aggressive behaviors have happened to me. I am dreading this career even though I’m not even though I’m not an actual teacher yet. I have lost all passion. I am pulled towards helping animals. I feel like every second in a classroom (student teaching & subbing) is a waste of time where I could be pursuing something else. I might just need teachers to knock sense into me. Or let me know if my feelings are valid. Thank you :) submitted by /u/bunnyreporter [link] [comments]
I (21M) am about to graduate to start teaching high school ELA. Would anyone have any advice for me? How would you start if you could do it again? Some other questions for fellow ELA teachers: - What books do you enjoy teaching the most? What books did students really gel with? - How do you prefer teaching writing assignments? Do you typically have to go back to material that you consider to be “elementary or middle school stuff?” - Have you found an appropriate workload for homework? I don’t want to overwhelm students, but I also want to give them homework. submitted by /u/Pure-Faithlessness64 [link] [comments]
I have been out of school a week. I had to have a medical treatment yesterday and my blood pressure was really high, despite being on blood pressure medicine. The nurse at the office told me to contact my PCP about it and my PCP had an appointment for this morning. While talking to my PCP at today’s appointment, she asked if I was still taking my blood pressure at home. I told her I had slacked off the last 3 weeks of school because I was so busy. Then she asked about any changes to my diet or lifestyle. I told her I was surprised my blood pressure was so high because it usually comes down in the summer. Then, I just started crying, and telling her about how bad this year was, how I had received written and physical threats by students, about how my admin hasn’t backed or supported me or the teachers in the building, etc. She said I am probably still carrying the stress from the school year. In the meantime she is changing my med, encouraging me to continue my exercise regimen, and to
I’m a music teacher and I just played a side gig where a buddy of mine from undergrad who played in the jazz band with me was there catering the wine. He recognized me immediately and even said “Hi (my name)!” I felt like crap because his face was familiar, but I couldn’t pin him down to save my life. No name, not recollection of how I knew him. Nothing. I had to dig through FB to finally figure out what the relation was, what friends circle I knew him from, and what his name was. I blame it on having to crank out 50+ new names a year and moving cities multiple times since then, but man I still feel bad. It’s someone I should absolutely know. We spent more than a reasonable amount of time around each other. This happens to me A LOT, especially when they’re in a town they weren’t in when I knew them.

I’ve heard from several people lately that extreme behaviors are at every school now. Serious, troubling behaviors have always existed at inner city schools in particular. I’ve been hoping to get away from the extreme behaviors Ive tried to help kids through at my current school. I’m hoping for just… less with a change of scenery to a school where kids will be exposed to less trauma, food insecurity, other risk factors. Hearing to expect more of the same at a new school in a ‘better’ area has me feeling a little discouraged. I guess my question is- are extreme behaviors really everywhere now?

I’ve been told that covid changed education and kids. I don’t know how true that is but what I do know is I started college in 2019 as an elementary education major and now feel incapable of teaching anything under 6th grade. I sometimes feel like a professional hand holder. When I was in middle school, I was responsible for keeping track of my assignments and grades, I had weeks to months long independent projects that I completed, and school was a lot more like it is on TV (you know, “today’s assignment is _.“ students complete the assignment. the end.) But in reality, in my 6th grade classroom, I am reading out loud to the kids, because they can’t read. I am completing half the work for them with sentence starters and walk through because they can’t write. I’m spending less the half the time teaching because more than half the time is spent managing behavior. Going up to 20 kids each one by one “okay, write your name right here“ (pointing at paper). They can’t do anything independen

I would also like to improve my handwriting! I'm stuck on a few things... like what would it even look like? Some ideas: - handwriting worksheets (maybe even compare handwriting between languages) - perfect your signature/autograph - fancy pen time (sensory experience with different writing utensils from gel pens to maybe even a fountain pen if I can get some PAC funding) - poster pals (design posters/play with typography for various clubs). I also need a catchy name. Any other ideas/has anyone done a handwriting club? Thanks! submitted by /u/_Poffertje_ [link] [comments]
I started off by subbing for a few years and then I got my teaching credential. I got my first job 5 hours away at a high school. The principal and assistant principal both quit a few months into the school year. Half of my department was also new. The kids behavior was off the hook...nothing I've ever experienced before. They... just would not listen to me. I ended up being non-renewed which I was going to not renew my contract anyways. I chose to resign. I went back to subbing for a year afterwards, now when I apply for jobs I haven't had a single interview. I've applied to 20 different jobs, and edjoin shows the district viewed the application but no one has asked to interview me. I am out of jobs to apply to in a 2 hour radius. I am kind of wondering if that one year stint made my resume a red flag going from being a 1st year teacher back to subbing. If I don't get a job this hiring season, I would consider myself being forced out of the field. There is no way I can support myself
I've been seriously thinking about becoming a teacher and would love some honest perspectives from people actually doing the job. I'm 32 and currently make about $100k/year in a low cost-of-living area. On paper, it's a great job, but I've realized I value time with my family and a schedule that aligns with my kids much more than maximizing my income. I have three young children, and it feels like I'm missing some of the best years of their lives because of a rigid 9-5 with very little time off. My wife has a great career and earns about $120k, so we could realistically absorb a pay cut if it meant a better quality of life. I've always enjoyed being around kids, and I genuinely think I'd enjoy teaching. The schedule, summers, holidays, and the opportunity to have a meaningful impact all appeal to me. That said, when I read online, it seems like many teachers are burned out and trying to leave the profession. Is that because Reddit naturally attracts people who need to vent, or is that
I’ve been observing something for a while: geography teachers tend to have a reputation for being the most easygoing and approachable teachers in high school.

Tagging as humor so we can all just laugh in good fun at the end of the school year. But since my post asking about which admin buzzwords are most irritating to you was such a hit, I thought I would come back with a sequel! This time it’s: What is the most ridiculous and unnecessary admin job/job title you’ve seen in your district or elsewhere? As in, you look at their job and wonder, “WTF does this person do all day? And do we even need them? Did the superintendent create this job to hire friends?” I’ll go first. My district (which is RIFing teachers left and right) has two “assistant directors of curriculum and instruction” making $165k a year in addition to our main “director of curriculum and instruction.” They all also had administrative assistants who made more than several teachers in the building. I could not tell you what these people do all day, since most of what was in their job description was offloaded onto teachers for stipend positions. Also for reference, we only have
I am a high school teacher, and our student population has grown so much that that I am one of two of us do not have our own classrooms. I have a cart that works well enough, and I travel. The teachers who have their own classrooms have plan time while I am teaching in the room. Teachers leave the room and find someplace else to work. There is one teacher that stays in her classroom while I am teaching. We get along fine. She does not interrupt my class, engage or disrupt my students. She puts earbuds in. Sometimes I can see her trying to cover her ears or block her view of me in front of class as if she is struggling to concentrate. I don’t feel like I can turn off the lights for two minutes because I will be bothering her. I feel awkward when this happens. Once in a while I feel judged by a comment she makes over my lessons, but I have talked myself into getting over it. What is the common practice for this? Is she being inconsiderate? Any ideas how to approach this? submitted by /u/

I've finished my fourth year of teaching and realized that we generally allow disruptive and aggressive students to destroy the education of everyone else in the room. When did this start? Why do we allow this to happen? At what point do we allow schools broader authority to expel students who don't want to be there and actively disrupt the classroom. Every year, there is a student or two who is doesn't want to be there. It's frustrating for me and them. I try in the beginning, but around April or May I give up and just let them play games in the corner so they are quiet. Honestly, I'm getting more jaded about even trying. I know I'm supposed to try with every student, but after months of trying, I just quit. It's less effort and less stress. I know I'm not a saint. Why do we care so much about expulsions? I understand some of the history around expulsions. However, at some point we have to change the rules to accommodate the current situation. Some kids can't be in the classroom with
I'm starting this school year as a Behavior Specialist after working for the past 5 years as a Behavior Tech in the school system. Before this role, I spent my days in classrooms directly supporting students, so I've seen firsthand what many teachers are dealing with. I've watched teachers get hit, bitten, spit on, have their classrooms evacuated, and still be expected to teach everyone else. In many of those situations, I honestly felt the teacher was doing everything they reasonably could. Now I'm moving into a role where I'll be consulting with teachers, and I'm struggling with something. I worry about being "that BS behavior specialist" who comes into a classroom, points out everything the teacher is doing wrong, and hands them a list of strategies that don't match the reality they're facing. :( Don't get me wrong, I think behavior strategies, classroom management, and proactive supports absolutely have their place. They can make a big difference in many situations. But I've also w

I completed my first Field Experience as a student teacher (I think some universities call it a stage) and I've noticed that there are some skills that I find myself needing to develop that haven't really been talked about in my classes. This includes, but is not limited to: Reading/Writing upside down (To help kids with math 1 on 1 at their desks) Using a smart board and just generally writing large but neatly. Creating a visual guide for my lecture while simultaneously lecturing that is easy to follow and aids comprehension instead of creating confusion. Admittedly even my uni math professors are awful at this, and I suspect math teachers that are good at this have experience with the specific topics at hand. Not so much a skill but just how much new teachers need to practice their lectures and lessons. I'm wondering what other skills you - and my future self for that matter - need to teach in your style as a seasoned teacher. I don't mean the obvious ones like patience, comprehensio

So I verbally accepted my first teaching job… and now I want to back out. I thought I was interviewing to teach a traditional class but it turned out to be an inclusion class with like 50% SPED students, plus a good number of ELLs and a coteacher who splits her time between 3-4 rooms.

I was supposed to do my second internship at my current job (private school). My school let me know last minute that I couldn’t do my internship there and I can’t afford to do an unpaid internship, so this is pushing me back from graduation by a whole year. Coupled with me not landing any teaching spots at my job and possibly just being a teacher’s assistant. Even if I managed to graduate and finish .. teaching in FL is just a nightmare to me at the moment. I hate how the curriculum is being introduced to the students, the awful pay is really setting in.

Here’s the thing. I’m an ELA teacher but a rarity: I also coach. Which means kids (mostly boys) love to talk to me about sports. Hockey, football, and UFC (up until recently) were my favorites. I’m not clutching my pearls on that. I teach high school and had to learn to either ignore or not freak out over stuff I used to do at their age (party, smoke, bet with friends, etc.), but I guess we were smart enough not to tell our teachers. But over the last few years, I noticed that many boys would make betting jokes. And this past school year, any question or comment about the latest boxing fight or football game was met with “yo Schadenfruedian, who’s in your parlay?” Sports gambling has become more and more virulent, and I no longer feel I can connect with some of these kids due to them making it inappropriate. It’s sad, because I would always manage to connect with even my most “I hate reading” kids, not via the subject but by at least talking about sports. It sucks. But I’m not going to

This was many years ago but it put a lot of things into focus. I was sitting around one summer absolutely bored out of my mind and I realized that I had put way too much of myself into work that I left no time to develop my interests and hobbies. It got me thinking about what I would be doing if I no longer had to work. What would my passions be? What would I be happily pursuing? This epiphany really woke me up to the fact that I wouldn't have any life to live if I kept giving myself all to work. I'd lose myself entirely. So now I demand significantly less of myself at work and use my free time for what I like to do. I also treat the summer like retirement where I invest in all the projects and volunteer work I love to do.
