Ahh yes

That good old savior complex. I’ve had 2 colleagues like that. One of them was a speech pathologist, who was really good at her job, but she was also extremely flaky, wouldn’t see her kids when they...

Not inclusion

The scary thing is that these kids with 450+ minutes are NOT considered inclusion. Yes, as a resource teacher, I have students with 8 hours a week of specialized academic support. They are labeled as...

What’s the point of SPED anymore?

I’m talking about resource. I have 30 students on my caseload here in California, several with over 480 weekly minutes of specialized academic instruction. We do not have a learning center model. We...

I LOVE that

Jackie, that is a BRILLIANT idea. I honestly never thought of that. I always hated the manipulatives because they were noisy, messy and distracting, no matter how many times you teach the routine.

I hate base ten blocks for regrouping

Seriously I hate them for my students who have disabilities. I teach sped. Most of my students have some sort of processing disorder which makes it SUPER confusing to use these manipulatives while...

Yup

I’m in NorCal, along the 101 corridor. Don’t want to say where out of fear of giving myself away ;)

All I will say is that the smoke is awful here, COVID cases are blowing the heck up, and parents...

Teacher appreciate is a load of crap

There’s all of this talk about teacher appreciation. All the while we constantly get emails from admin and parents about how we are not doing enough. Oh and don’t forget my school board calling us...

Bout ready to mute you

Hello and I hope everyone is well. I am a SPED teacher and we are holding IEPs via zoom. It is going well. We have one administrator who seems to have developed an inflated sense of self recently,...

My thoughts exactly. Our general education teachers are being told to take care of themselves, have realistic expectations of students and themselves, have compassion for working families and not try...

Ugh

Our state will likely close schools for the entirety of the year. While it has been nice to have quiet time at home, I don’t like this news.

I do not like lack of structure. I like routines,...

Nope

No, I don’t particularly miss them. I hope they are well but I can’t say I miss them. Especially not in the way I miss my family and friends.

However, I have done zoom meetings with a few of my...

Refusing tests

This is not a teaching vent. It is a COVID 19 vent.

I have a family member in her late 50’s who is VERY ill. All of the typical COVID symptoms. Went to the ER. They refused to test her, told her...

Resource teacher

Icy cold coworker

A teacher I work with is so cold. I push into her classroom and she treats me more like an aide. If she feels that one of her students isn’t working or processing fast enough, she calls me out. She...

Rude intervention teacher

Our intervention teacher is, well, rude.

One of my colleagues has a very challenging class. She has many highly emotional students who demand more than she can give. She is a good teacher and my...
