I’ll start by saying I’m just an Ed tech. I work in a special needs classroom. There are 5 of us techs and our head teacher. In the fall I’ll start my 4th year in that room. I love my job. I love the kids. My fellow techs are awesome and head teacher is amazing. She’s kind and patient and does an incredible job. I have learned so much from her. Today she told us she won’t be back in the fall. We are devastated. It’s because of the SPED director. She’s just not supportive and all around dishonest and disrespectful person. The kids will be so sad in the fall. And I’m terrified of who will replace her. And I just can’t even picture our room without her. I would love to get her a going away gift, I’d love suggestions. Mostly just needed to say all this because nobody knows yet but us. submitted by /u/Mom-Wife-3 [link] [comments]
Hey everyone, I am currently going into my fourth year as an English Education major, and I have never regretted anything more in my life. I've always wanted to become a teacher, but after my first semester in college I was quick to realize I was too mentally ill to handle it. I ended up attempting to commit suicide, and it obviously did not work. I felt like a failure. Everyone pressured me to keep going and that I will like it eventually, etc etc. So I did. I didn't want to let anyone down like I did before. Now I'm in Phase II, going to start the semester before student teaching, and I can't do it. I can't handle the schedule or stress of teaching. I can't afford to change majors and restart. I haven't been able to work in three years due to the immense workload on top of my already failing mental health. Now, I have hospital bills and student loans. It feels like the only thing left to do is attempt again and pray it works this time. I'm scared. It feels like my life has fallen apa
Hi everyone, I'm 21, did DAE Software Engineering (Grade B / 67%) and Matric CS. Academically not strong but creatively I have good ideas and I want to pursue Filmmaking. I'm planning to go abroad for Bachelor's in Filmmaking in 2028. Working and saving money until then. Primary target is China (CSC scholarship) because their film industry is decent and the country has good future prospects. I'll learn Chinese and build a portfolio for the scholarship. Not staying in Pakistan because film programs here are generic and the future of this field here isn't what I want. Need guidance on: · Is China CSC realistic for someone with my grades? · Any other countries with good film industry, affordable living, and scholarships? · How much language do I need before applying? · What kind of portfolio do film schools expect? · I'll be 23 when I go. Is that too old? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks! submitted by /u/MSLogan07 [link] [comments]

Willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law The text cites McMahon’s actions to transfer responsibilities, which under law rest with the Education Department, to other agencies. Just last week , she announced that the office overseeing special education would move to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Civil Rights would transfer to the Justice Department. 2. False statements before Congress The resolution accuses McMahon of lying to Congress during her confirmation hearing that she would follow the law in disbursing education funds appropriated by Congress. Instead, the text reads, she has defended the cancellation of several research contracts and discontinued grants for programs like community schools. 3. Breach of public trust Again focusing on funding, the resolution states that the adm

This was many years ago but it put a lot of things into focus. I was sitting around one summer absolutely bored out of my mind and I realized that I had put way too much of myself into work that I left no time to develop my interests and hobbies. It got me thinking about what I would be doing if I no longer had to work. What would my passions be? What would I be happily pursuing? This epiphany really woke me up to the fact that I wouldn't have any life to live if I kept giving myself all to work. I'd lose myself entirely. So now I demand significantly less of myself at work and use my free time for what I like to do. I also treat the summer like retirement where I invest in all the projects and volunteer work I love to do. Here's to hoping all my fellow teachers can use the summer to invest in themselves and chase the things that make life worth living! submitted by /u/mhgiantsfan [link] [comments]
I've had troubles in the past decompressing and getting into my evening on the weekdays. I used to do the classic happy hour drinks, weed or doomscrolling or just doing nothing and ruminate even if i am spending time with people. Basically just wasted my evenings and never really feeling present for actual life. Thankfully i've been fixing this for myself, but curious if teachers are having this problem too.

Edit: ND = neurodivergent masking= suppressing needs in order to be more in productive or on the clock in a classroom. I've seen a lot of non-compliance referrals this year in a few districts. Particularly for autistic and other ND children whose own bodies and minds are just done. (And by the way, the brain is also a part of the body as much as many admins seem to like to act like the two are separate.) It's interesting too because often they will have a BIP that says that the child can ask for a break to be proactive. Then the adult will delay the break Or not believe the kid that they do in fact need a break. Then the kid will have a meltdown or a behavior. If you don't leak out some form of dopamine, sensory input/reduction, or easy success for your ND kids, their bodies are going to go on strike. Plain and simple. It's not personal. They aren't being belligerent and disobedient. They just have nothing left to give. submitted by /u/PurplesunsetBluelips [link] [comments]

So the legend that keeps getting rolled out every time a register is miss marked, is "One time a student was marked present and wern't, they committed a crime and used the register in court to try and say they were at school. The teacher got sent to prison for fraud, because it is a government document." We are sick of hearing it, and with a combined 100+ years of teaching as a faculty, no one has ever actually experienced this, or knows of this happening, but we have all heard this. Has anyone actually ever had this happen or similar? Tagged as humour as it is a winding down week, too hot and this is not a need for serious support.

Looking for opinions from fellow teachers on a situation that's come up a couple times this year (my first year): 5 teachers took our small high school on a hike last week up a local hill. It's about a ~25 min uphill walk with some different spots for views once you get there. Two teachers led, then all students, then me, then the last two teachers. The last two teachers fell behind the group, came to a subtle trail junction, and ended up taking the wrong trail a hundred yards or so. I noticed that they weren't behind me and after waiting a couple mins went back to find them heading up the wrong way. When I got them, one teacher was very upset at being left behind and getting 'lost.' They were quite angry and talked about the safety concern of the group being too spread out. But the students were all together with the first two teachers. Help me judge: This happened before with this particular teacher several times. Students are in a tight group, they fall behind, quickly get rattled a
Curious to hear what other teachers are changing for next year to address the problems they’ve had h the past. I’m looping up with my fourth graders for next year and I’ve decided to implement some new classroom rules to address some very specific issues we had. No Owalas. They are NOT leakproof. At least once a week, some kid was knocking theirs off their desk and then the top would pop open and the entire bottle’s worth would spill out of the spout. Even Stanleys made less of a mess. No assignments on the computer that can be done with pencil and paper. These kids are too dependent on technology for everything and it becomes one more thing to manage when they want to get off task. They cannot ask for help with a task if they haven’t tried on their own first. The learned helplessness is so fucking real. Similarly, I will not answer the question “what are we doing right now,” if the answer is on the board, in written directions on their paper, part of our regular classroom routine, or

I’ve been thinking about how much knowledge about students never makes it into a cumulative file. A file can tell you grades, attendance, testing data, maybe behavior referrals. It can’t tell you things like: -who needs a little extra wait time before answering -which parent communication actually gets a response -what finally helped a reluctant reader gain confidence -who quietly avoids asking for help How much of that kind of knowledge gets lost when students move to the next grade? submitted by /u/NotesFromClass [link] [comments]
Hello all! I graduated May of 2025 planning on being a teacher the next school year. I have always dreamed of being a teacher and I remember getting made fun of growing up by my cousin’s because they told me I’d never make money that way. During my final year of student teaching, I had a really horrible time with my university to the point of extreme burnout and almost disdain for the profession. I felt I was being worked way harder than I should have, cohorts agreed, that everything we were doing in order to be in the teaching world was making us almost hate it. However, I loved my students and I loved the school I was interning at, it was probably the only thing really keeping me going. The worst part of it all was I failed the edTPA, and that made me feel like all of my time at the university wasn’t worth it, that I wasn’t meant for this job, and I should give up. I felt that I was too stupid to be a teacher and that if I did land a job as one, I’d only ruin the future generation. O
I work in sales and have for the last ten years, and before this I worked in other communications roles. Mostly in the publishing industry. I’m so completely burned out on corporate and can’t imagine doing this for another 20+ years. I have always been curious and interested in teaching (started the process of alternate route a decade ago, but did not complete because I moved out of state for awhile). I would want to go back for my masters and do that for as long as I could while also working my current job. I have family members who are in the school system and encourage me to go alternate route, but I really don’t love the idea. For context, I am in north New Jersey. I also know so many people burned out on teaching, who have been doing it their entire career. Is there any hope for someone who would want to make a career change? I know admin and bureaucracy can make the job unbearable, and honestly AI and the literacy crisis terrify me. But I also feel like if I could positively impa

I’ve worked under 7 principals. Only really liked 1. The one principal i liked was very demanding but he never asked of us what he wouldn’t do himself. He worked hard and he even knew my content and the nuances. He was very structured but you could debate with him and sometimes he would concede the point and admit you were right. On the negative side, my “bad principals” run gamete. I had a narcissistic sexual harasser where the job was his playground. I had a lot of weird principals who were just liars and incompetent. For example, I had one principal tell me about a delivery of books. I stated I had no storage, she said to put it my closet. I said I had no closet. For the rest of the year that was a fight. I had no closet. It was weird. She came to my room to tell me where my closet was and when there wasn’t one she blamed me and the janitor somehow. And I really didn’t want to fight her but she kept escalating this closet thing. If you ever saw the Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns i

Congrats to everyone finishing up their school years btw!! So this was my first year teaching, in a hellish middle school in a hellish district that I am very happy to report I will not be going back to next year. Yesterday was my last day of school and I decided I would take a few days to a week to unwind before I start prepping to teach at my new school in the fall. And god, am I bored. I worked out, cleaned, read about 100 pages of my book, went out, got my first massage ever, went to the store, went to a cafe, read some more, went for a walk, came home, made dinner, scrolled on my phone, and it’s now 8 pm and I am BORED. I genuinely don’t know what to do with myself. It’s not for a lack of hobbies or social circles , I have both, and intend to engage with them over this break, but I just feel like I have nothing to do and everything I am doing isn’t satisfying me. Is this a normal post school year teacher thing? Am I just still wound up from the year? For what it’s worth during the
Last year I posted about feeling burnt out, unappreciated, and being the recipient of an Eff U transfer. I cried, I ate all the pints of ice cream, I posted on Reddit… then I went into self-rescuing princess mode and redid my resume, started applying and interviewing. One job dismissed me out of hand. Several others apparently already had a candidate in mind. Another knew what they had in front of them, and hired me after only one interview!! Just finished my first year and am invited back for another! I’m actually looking forward to September! (After I go to the beach a few times, of course!) it was a wild scary ride, giving up the protections of tenure and taking a pay cut, but absolutely worth it.

I'm a regular sub with lots of long term experience. As I continue into my 5th year, I'm starting to really lose the rose glasses that I saw the youth through my years. Im the type of sub who gets letters all the time from students, especially towards the end of a long term placement. I usually have received positive responses from the schools I've worked at and got preferred in multiple schools. So I hope I'm doing this job "right" as best as I can. I don't wanna trauma dump about the small minute incidents that are forming this opinion within me. But there's been so so many instances of blatant first world problems, false allegations (he said this to the class!) and retaliation from students whenever they get a grade they don't like, I am wearing out. I've noticed this issue across the board for almost every grade level, while retaliation isn't too much an issue with elementary, those kids do display alot of traits typical to spoiled children. Seriously teachers, how do y'all cope wi
