The Thread about Teaching and the Dumbasses We Teach

Let's be honest the kid stopped reading after -15

 

I think a child that was named Randy in the 21st century never really stood a chance

 

gunna need pics of the teacher before passing judgement

at a teacher doing extra grading they don't have to do

 

I'd be curious how he did and where the score would compare to actual sutdents

 

I believe the professor just threw it in the trash after we all had a good laugh. It was a blue book style exam so he'd have had to read the essays and assign scores. Judging from the professor's reaction he wasn't remotely close to talking about what he was supposed to be, but did write multiple paragraphs for each answer, so who knows maybe he could have pulled a D

 

D's get degrees

 

In a gen ed course. If it's a major or minor course you need a C or better

 

Just couldn't let him have that one could you?

 

I hold you guys to a higher standard because I care about your future

 

They changed that at VT a year or two after I got my one D sophomore year.

 

We have much in common.

 

Don't have to go back to work until August

 

Did you give the kid his Gatorade?

 

A substitute teacher in my district got stabbed by a 17 year old girl while breaking up a fight two days ago.

 

Lawsuit coming, he about to get paid

 

So you don't have to do anything at all for school over the summer? Lesson planning or anything?

 

I'm teaching World History again. Everything is already done. All I'll have to do is change the dates, I do have a couple of PD's over the summer.

 

That's awesome. I have to work all summer same as usual (not a traditional teacher) but I ain't mad atcha

 

Downside is I'm teaching 9th grade again for the 4th straight year. They steadily keep passing me over for US History

 

Most of our faculty are away for the summer, many in fancy far off places. A professor sent in a request to have every page of a certain book scanned and sent to her...she wrote the fucking book

 

Found out I'm teaching AP and Accelerated World History. Yay, I get all the smart kids. To even that out, I'm also going to get the bottom scoring kids too, booooooooooo

 

History + smart kids, sounds like a pretty sweet gig

 

just finished my Ed.S and accepted an offer at a middle school. going to be counseling 7th graders

 

Oh another middle school person, have fun with tears

 

Last year was the first year that I didn't have any 9th graders who were in Geometry. Apparently out of the roughly 260 9th graders we had coming in, I had the bottom 130 as far as incoming scores.

They gave the 1st year teacher all the smart kids because they thought it would be easier for him to handle (they ran over him and they wound up moving him to 12th grade sociology and psychology 4th term). 15 of my kids ended up at Alternative School

 

You're doing the lords work pearl. I went to public school in SC and did ok bc of some good teachers I had

I'm surprised they still recognize it, tbqh

 

I just got a random email from a student asking for the theater website so they can apply for a job

 

autoplays at the particular time, 1 hr 33m

 

God damn Green Bay

 

There was no reaction? I would've thought that people would be horrified or at least replied with some sort of empathy...

 

What blocks do you guys have off this year? Found out I have off:
1st block:
8th block:

 

As a non-teacher and someone who is 15 years removed from secondary schooling, what's wrong with having first block off?

 

Personally preference. My 4 years I've always had at least one of the last blocks off. However, my 2nd year really spoiled me because if I had any personal matters to attend to, I could simply leave at 1:50pm

1st year: 4th & 7th
2nd year: 4th & 8th
3rd year: 2nd & 8th
This year: 1st & 8th

 

But then wouldn't have the 1st block off mean not having to come in as early?

 

We are EL, call these fuckers mods now

 

No, still required to sign in by 7:45AM

Block

 

That's not how contracts work

 

Must suck having to teach six straight periods/blocks then if you can't even come in later.

 

We're on block schedule. 90 minute (2 hour lunch 3rd/7th) classes. I teach 3 classes a day

A-day = 1st through 4th
B-day = 5th through 8th

 

No blocks off this year but have a coteacher for the last block each day. Get 2 additional supplements equal to $11k so not all bad

 

holy shit
