I love when people get mad that I don’t stop talking when they try to interrupt me. The audacity to be upset that someone doesn’t allow their rudeness 🙄
There is something so devastating about losing your teacher bestie. You’ve been trauma bonded and are now codependent.
Principal says that we’re not doing enough if we aren’t going to games and student events.
Do admin forget what it was to be a teacher? Do they get promoted and all sense just leaves their brains?
Boss sent out an email that wasn’t supposed to go to everyone. He basically said he was willing to fire everyone and keep just the remnants and start over if he needed it. “Like Noah and the flood” as he said.
There needs to be a way to show that a school is fudging their turnover numbers.
The fact that children think there’s no point in learning after taking the state test is so saddening and disheartening. Can I make it fun and we still learn? Yes. But children don’t put in the effort or find it important anymore. #teacherlife #teacherprobs
Admin interviewed a candidate and then sent her an email to complete multiple personality quizzes. The candidate said she is swamped at work, but will try to complete them when she gets home. Admin said she was less likely to be a candidate because she said “try.”
The fact that the school makes advertising videos about standardized tests just disgusts me. #teacherlife #teacherprobs
Meghan Trainor using her rich white woman privilege to shit on teachers instead of advocating for better public education for children who don’t have her resources is… a choice. @Meghan_Trainor
Summed up pretty well. Testing season is the worst. #teacherlife #teacherfail
Ryan Evans is the most underrated character in HSM.
What I love is how effective coach consequences are compared to parents (for some kids). #teacherlife #teacherprobs
If you could go back to college, would you choose teaching as a career again?
Teaching is such a toxic profession and so many people either don’t know it or ignore it. #teacherlife #teacherprobs
Maybe I’m just ignorant to admin procedures, but why is it so damn hard to give actual consequences and stick to them? They preach about setting expectations and being consistent, but walk the walk for fucks sake. #teacherlife #teacherprobs
Adult learners are not children. Stop using classroom management strategies during your PD sessions.
The audacity some *adults* have to be upset when they are stopped from interrupting blows my mind. Interrupters, unless it is a true emergency, have no right to be upset when they get shut down or are told to wait. Have some manners and respect. #teacherlife #teacherprobs
Do the kids seem more stressful this year and the past couple years?

@TchrConfessions I can seamlessly throw an "I am still talking right now" into the middle of a sentence when a student tries to interrupt 😂
Bro had a valid excuse I’m sure
@TchrConfessions They just have a different mentality - all personal ambition.
THIS IS THE TWEET OF THE CENTURY 😤
Do admin forget what it was to be a teacher? Do they get promoted and all sense just leaves their brains?
@UofAgrad97 @TchrConfessions My principal is exactly the opposite of this. Thank goodness.

@TchrConfessions I would rather watch paint dry
I take mine off for the gym, pool/beach (if I don’t have a silicone band), for bed, and showers. (Been married a year)
For those of you who are also married or engaged: Do you take your engagement ring and/or wedding band off and if so when? (Also curious about how long you’ve been married for bc I assume this changes over time)
@mullett99 @TchrConfessions It is because the administrator can go brag to the superintendent about how few behavioral issues exist in his/her school
@TDFbase @teachinghurts @TchrConfessions We’re discussing children. Children who witnessed the last few years and are impacted by seeing the way adults treat one another and are reacting to what they’ve seen. This isn’t an agenda.
@TchrConfessions For me I have a 50/50 split, mostly by grade level. My younger students are more behind academically but they are growing rapidly and putting in effort to catch up. My older students are not as behind, but are severely apathetic and disruptive so they are falling further behind.
@TchrConfessions Absolutely. And their overall effort level is very low. The apathy abounds.
@TchrConfessions They’ve lost their damn minds. Luckily, I have enough kind kids who keep me sane.
@TchrConfessions Personally, I've been lucky with mine. They are stressed but they're not stressing me. This year it's the adults in the school who are causing my stress and anxiety to skyrocket.
@RyTriGuy Consider having him present the research and data as a scientist with peer reviewed articles on both. Have him even make a presentation to the class with his research and data...showing how his claims are possibly...true...and can be proven by reputable scientific research.
The distance between what I was taught and what I experience daily is profound. Part of that is the massive cultural shifts of the last twenty years.
“You knew what you were getting into when you became a teacher” Actually, no. College gaslights the hell out of potential educators. #teacherlife #teacherprobs
@TchrConfessions I knew more than most, because my grandparents were all teachers. But the education industry in 2000 when I started college was very different from 2015 when I left the classroom. And it's even harder today. At a certain point, rational people can't stay.
