Especially after lunch. Kids are tired, I'm tired. I wish sometimes school ended by noon or 1pm. It's sometimes so hard to get kids motivated...
I agree! Unless someone needs a degree to do something, there is usually no need. It does train and individual to be disciplined and it also...
This is a hard choice, but probably both would fail. I would be tempted to give the student with a 81 a D- but since student was apathetic and...
There are a myriad of factors to this. It depends, I do lots of daily work with a daily grade. I give them the option to make it up. The only...
Well hope you find something good! There have been times where I have thought about quitting too.
This is good Peregrin! I just have to get a little bolder and do this in the classroom.
It all boils down to what the kid did was completely disrespectful and wrong. When I was a sub I eventually just wrote all the classroom problem...

I can't say how much I like that you said! Some other teachers have told me in the past that I should do a variety of things to make things more...

I agree that one person's trash is another person's treasure. If traditional public schools don't fit the kid, then we have online, in classroom...
Cool! Thanks for the replies. Feel a little better now!
I am curious too, can you tell us why you are leaving? If not, you have a least a bachelor's degree. So jobs like to hire those with degrees and...
Calling a sub and getting a cancel from the sub seems to be too common these days or just finding a sub in general. I districts need to make the...
Classroom management. Learning how to be strict in balance but not too strict or too laid back in terms of rules and grading. Learning to keep a...
How well does your cell policy work if you one? We adopted one this year and it seems not to work very well as we are not suppose to have phones...
