Thank you everyone

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement! I realize that I am very lucky to have the means and support to quit my job. I wish that fewer teachers felt stuck in their positions. Just about every...

Update: I did it!

I have posted here before about being miserable at my current job, and in my last post I told how I sent an email to one of my principals basically saying that if we couldn’t have a discussion about...

Update

Well, things have only gotten worse at the MS.

About two weeks ago, I sat down with the HS principal and explained how miserable I am and that I need to know what’s going to happen for next year....

You can do it!

Just FYI - this particular board is not frequented by many people. Feel free to post on the Busy board to get more responses.

Very few teachers are already good when they are student teaching. Of...

First tweet was not a teacher

The original thread was NOT a teacher tweet. In fact, I don’t remember a single response being from a teacher either. However, I think that somewhere in the replies on this thread, someone posted a...

They were very negative on the whole concept

Yes, the biggest problem they had was with the bathroom thing, but they also were negative on the whole idea of Class Dojo. I just have a hard time with a bunch of people (including zero teachers...

Very interesting responses - thank you!

So no one officially gets the bonus points for the answer to what the response was like. The biggest to-do was something like “How dare they discipline a child for a basic human need! She will...

Opinions? Bashing Class Dojo

I saw a tweet today that called out the use of Class Dojo as contributing to a culture of discipline where kids are constantly being watched and how similar schools are to prisons:rolleyes:. I wish I...

No, unfortunately I have kids in HS and a husband who probably wouldn’t be too keen on the idea.

The situation is a little complicated. Our union has retained a bid system that makes it easier in some ways, yet harder in others, to move positions. In theory the district can’t force a teacher to...

Yes! This is exactly it! But for me it’s one more year. If I knew that it would be over after this year for sure, the light at the end of the tunnel would allow me to make it through.

WWYD? I’m miserable!

I am getting to the point where I almost feel like throwing in the towel on this whole teaching thing.

A little background: This is my 8th year teaching but only my third in a permanent position...

Our hours

7:20-2:55 so basically 7.5 hours per day. This includes a guaranteed 30 minute duty-free lunch and we each have 1-2 periods that are planning or duty and not teaching. Our students leave at 2:25 or...

Doesn’t Seem Fair

As soon as I typed the subject it made me think of my students complaining about nothing being fair, but I’m going to go ahead and complain anyway. LOL

I teach in PA, and our students take PSSAs...

What type of class is this?

I do something similar to your second choice with my lower-level math class, because I give daily class work points to encourage students to work the whole period. In my honors classes, tests and...

Thank you all...

For the advice posted so far.

I probably should have mentioned that the schedule I was giving was just for example, and yes, I will definitely be flexible with how much time to spend.

I didn’t...

Want to make a big change - advice needed!

Good luck

It sounds like you and your teammates are making some wonderful changes in order to serve all of your students as best as possible. I am a HS teacher and don’t have any answers for your questions....

No way!

If I were you, I would try privately tutoring some students instead. Many schools will have a list (with guidance?) of teachers who are open to tutoring and will give parents the information when...

Look out for yourself first

I know that it will make you feel really bad, but you have to do whatever is in your own best interest. I have been in a similar (but probably a little easier) situation two times, having accepted...

A better analogy

Tsy2013,

It all just depends on the district

I live in western PA, and some schools seem to have their hiring done by end of June while others don’t start until August. There are always a few jobs posted late in the summer as teachers shuffle...

Depends on the market

Sorry this reply is so late.

I went into teaching as a second career after going back to school at 32. I’m not clear from your post...would you need to go back to get a teaching license, or do you...
