Spent five hours fucking with a New ceiling fan Finally exchanged it and boom original was just fucked. Also got the garage cleaned out.
We’ve all had one of those days where we used a bat left from a group of students who shot a remake of the Bear Jew scene from Inglorious Basterds to kill a mouse in your classroom, right?
Welcome to the club y’all need as many good teachers as possible. I’m enjoying my little space I’ve carved out in middle school
I didn’t when I started but I love it now. I deal with 6 and 7 grade and the kids still want to be here and like school so that is a battle I don’t have to fight but they also get sarcasm which is huge for me. I love middle school
My CT during student teaching was super pregnant and delivered in the first week of October, so I had the joy of completing my edTPA work while handling a full 11th grade classload at an at-risk school for three months. So yeah, that was fun.
Our school couldn’t find a social studies and science teacher for 6 and 7 so they complete the process for a restricted license for me. So my 1st year of teaching was while I completed the final year of my masters. So, along with my full load of teaching I also had to complete my edTPA as well as 30+ observation hours, which could not be in my own room.
EdTPA, and fuck that thing. I took over for an 11th grade class from the wrestling coach who gave me zero outline or classroom curriculum (he was pure lecture). On top of that he delayed my lesson plans 3 separate times, so I wrote 12 lesson plans for the EdTPA.
Team middle school. 7th grade math. The kids are old enough to carry on an intelligent conversation but young enough to still act like kids. And as duc15 mentioned, everyone except the really dumb kids understands sarcasm, which makes it more fun when you get to be sarcastic to the assholes who are too dumb to get it.
Goddamnit I hate the parents in my district. Literally bitching at the school board in a public meeting because their kid got cussed at by another student on the bus.
Yeah but will they understand my lesson plan on how Eisenhower met with aliens after the United States began using atomic weapons in order to share technology in exchange for allowing the aliens to abduct Americans? I think Ill stick with my high schoolers.
I was and probably will again down the line but I wanted to coach HS football and transition to running a HS weightroom-haven't made it to doing that yet as my 8-3. Also found out I love coaching track. No kids yet so this was the time to make the transition.
thats interesting, not sure I have ever heard anyone bounce back and forth from Chiro to teaching/coaching. Question, did you get a full bachelors degree before going to chiropractic school? Seems like most of the chiro's I have known only did the basics/associates degree, then jumped right on into chiro school.
I'm pretty rare. I was 6 hours short of bachelor's before heading to chiropractic school so I could still get some tuition paid for by a local foundation as an undergrad. I have my bachelor's now and am 12 hours short of a masters
Former student also gave me a direct invitation to his graduation. He was in the first class I ever taught. Damn onion ninjas appeared out of nowhere when that happened.
