Spend as little as possible...

I know that it's so hard to do, but spend as little on teaching as possible. Try to budget yourself on what you buy out of your pocket and don't feel so pressured into buying all the cutesy...

I'd wait ...

I'm going to 2nd also, and starting at a new school. I have put off thinking about setting up for the year, but we start back in a couple of weeks so I'm figuring I better start getting a game plan...

Invitation

I'm starting a new position at a new school this coming year, and recently met the other teachers that will be on my grade-level team. It just so happens that one of the teacher's will be graduating...

I can relate

I don't really have any suggestions, but I can definitely relate. My observations this year have been not that good, and have left me feeling quite inadequate in my teaching abilities and...

I'm in the same boat

I've had the worst couple years, and just couldn't do another year where I'm at. I got a job offer and accepted it for next year, but I'm so worried things are not going to be better, and that I'm...

Scared Stiff

I'm feeling so low about my ability to teach and manage kids. My last observation was yesterday and I know I bombed. It was unannounced and I had a defiant kid working with me at my math center...

Advice for the weary...

I've been on the hamster wheel for so long now, and I truly would like to find a better balance so I can have more of a personal life. My question for those of you that actually only work a few...

I understand completely

I have been at my current school for just 4 years, but 3 of those years I get the sped cluster. It's burned me out, and no one on my grade level steps up to do it. So I resigned back in January...

My animals are

my everything. I would rather spend my money on them than so many other material things that I've had in life that don't mean much.

I went ahead and resigned,

but only because I'm moving at the end of the year, and definitely will not be able to commit to another year at my present school. I didn't want to surprise my current P when she received a phone...

Not too important

I spent a lot of time making one a few years ago, and the hiring team never asked for it. I also interviewed a couple of times last month, and no one asked for it those times either. I'm honestly...

Absolutely not

Teacher evaluations have drastically changed over the years, and it has only added to the stress, and in my opinion lowers our moral. I just try to do my best with what I'm dealt with every year,...

All I gotta say is...

Kindergarten teachers are a different breed. You guys always amaze me as to how you do it. I student taught in kinder and that convinced me that I don't have it in me to teach it. I sure hope you...

I ask that same question too.

I went to a new school 4 years ago cause I got married and needed to relocate. The transition was hard as I taught at the same school 10 years prior and the same grade level. It turned out I like...

Resign ASAP

I would resign asap. You don't want a nonrenew on your record to explain to other potential employers. You will still get all the benefits until your contract is up. Look up example ones on Google...

Thank you for the advice.

I did ask my previous P and she said it would be fine for me to give her number out. I feel a lot more comfortable about her getting a potential call now. I am amazed at how hard the hiring process...

Current Employment Check

I got a phone call today about a possible job offer pending checking my references and current P. I told the P on the phone that he may call my current P, but she doesn't know me that well cause she...

Waste of Time

I think detailed lesson plans are a waste of time. I resent having to do them, but reluctantly have to do so. I think teacher pay should have shot up considerably when principals and school leaders...

All the young darlings...

are going to be old too someday, so don't sell yourself short. Realize that age and experience sometimes creates the best teaching. To be quite honest, my best teachers were the older ones, not the...

My team acts like they are

in a clique in high school. I'm the oldest teacher of them all, and they leave me out of everything. My grade-level was fine until everybody went to different grades, and all the youngins got hired...

I wouldn't spend a dime.

Whoever makes the suggestion to buy things, should be the one to open their wallet. As far as this child helping his or herself to your things, call the office and tell them you need admin to take...

Be patient

I know it's hard, but they really have to wait before they hire, and it might not be until April or May until they can give you a firm offer. I would try to distract myself as much as possible in...

Has anyone left for greener pastures?

Just wondering if any if you that left teaching, have gotten jobs in other fields? If so, doing what? Are you happier now than when you were teaching? I'm on the fence right now myself.

Avoidant Principal

Thanks for the good advice. I officially resigned and didn't get any acknowledgement from my p, so after at least a week, I called my association's lawyer. The lawyer said that even though I...
