Hi! I'm trying to clear out some space here at home. Trying to decide if I can just toss everything from my teacher credential program. Maybe also...
I had a non re-elect the first year no reason needed to be given to get rid of me (but the vice principal who evaluated me gave me the lowest...
I agree with Waterfall. Resign now. Get lots of letters, even from team members, stating that your kids have the highest test scores and other...
First of all, if you don't think they're having you back, I would send a letter of resignation now, effective the end of the school year, BEFORE...
I like newsela.com as well.
I am loving newsela free trial. I can see that some students are reading at the wrong lexile--too low or too high--but I am hoping we can keep...
I agree that you will have to deal with this over and over, so try not to stress too much! Let the parents vent. Tell what happened, briefly....
Obviously, sub pay and conditions need to be better! If teachers are supposed to be going to professional development, the district needs to...
Spring training is a good suggestion. But I would just call it test prep if that's what it is! I feel like pretending it is something else is...
I only looped once, and it was with about half my students. I found that the beginning of the year was much easier and the results of the first...

I am having almost the same problems, middle school version! The difference is that I am seeing less of the snatching things out of other kids'...
It's too late to postpone it, and I wouldn't object to serving it, I'm just having trouble with the middle of the day part. This happened to me...
I got the jury duty notice to call or check website at 5 the day before (actually Friday, for Monday service) and it says no jurors needed for...
It's still terrible the way he's been treating you, but there must be some satisfaction in the news that the replacement teacher turned down the...
I just want to clarify my previous post: when I said I wouldn't do more than the minimum, I meant I would certainly teach and finish out the...
He has fired SO MANY people over the years and he has never done any of this nonsense to them. Why do I get less consideration when I have been...
What a terrible way to treat you! That principal seems so insensitive that you probably won't get anywhere telling him anything. At this point,...
rockguykev, what does your school do with the kids who aren't included in the ceremony? Where I went to school, we didn't have any kind of...
