This actually sounds like a brilliant idea for those subbing for elementary. Very creative and clever.

But as a (previous) jr.sr. high sub, I feel like the older kids might turn it into a goof...

The school system has gone way downhill over the years. It's now a dysfunctional mess.

The pandemic was just the nail in the coffin.

I highly recommend leaving this volatile field. It's...

Good luck to all

I sincerely wish you all good luck in any career you choose to pursue.

It's been a wild ride, but I just don't believe in the direction the profession has gone.

And it has let me down too...

Update on previous post: Just resigned.

Well, this is it, folks. Just quit teaching for good after 15 years.

The poor treatment during the pandemic was the final nail in the coffin.

I wish everyone luck.

@bodhimom

Yeah, judging by her unprofessional email she sounds like an entitled new teacher trying to coddle the kids. Perhaps in her 20's or early 30's and new to the game. Just speculating of course, but...

Nice. Your school sounds like they actually hold the kids accountable for their own responsibilities.

My view is by the time you're of middle school age you should know that blatantly ignoring...

@tapdance

Yeah, I used to circulate around the room. But now with Covid I don't do it. I won't do it until I'm vaccinated.

Heck, I'm not even sure if I'll do it when I'm vaccinated. There's still the...

I don't walk around the room right now. I'm not vaccinated yet and don't want to catch anything. Call me paranoid, but that's just how I roll currently.

In fact, I just blocked out two months...

Banned from a classroom during a pandemic

Friday I received a rather unprofessional, unfriendly email from a teacher I was in for.

The teacher claimed her students didn't do their work because of me, and that I was on my phone ignoring...

Hah, gotta love nepotism.

And I wholeheartedly agree the best way to deal with schools who are flaky or terribly unorganized is to not do business with them in the first place. No need to put...

I agree subbing is not great during the pandemic.

But use your full real name in professional emails always.

People are going to think you're spamming them otherwise.

It's all speculation.

Depends on the district you work for, and if students and staff are willing to be reasonable.

Update

I know this was a bit of a long-winded, hopeless rant that perhaps belonged in "the vent," but I was fed up with being jerked around by the DOL.

Anyway, after sending passports and other personal...

I've never taught at a public school without a flag or pledge in my lifetime.

The only time I've been in a situation where there was no pledge was on a day most students were arriving late.

I don't think that's necessarily what he's saying. Perhaps he's looking at the mental health side of things. Many families are losing their minds right now being stuck at home for a year.

The department of labor are useless

Five months ago I was accused of filing for UI while out of the country.

I wasn't out of the country.

Well summarized, as always.

I'm shocked at how in-denial so many schools are.

And some of the students, as expected, do not take social distancing seriously at all. Makes me feel like some...
