AnnCrystalKids seem to have lost their childhood these days, just in the news where two stories...“2 days ago — Police arrested a 13-year-old and a 12-year-old for a series of burglaries and vandalis“ and “5 days ago — Brothers, 7 and 9, Engaged in Armed Standoff with Police.“ Unreal! The poor teachers who must have to deal with these rascals.

TheBookHippie@AnnCrystal only about 5 percent of that here and I‘m in Title One Schools. It‘s more extreme poverty and hunger by me. The behavior problems are in the “white” schools and private schools including weapons, rape and theft. Unreal.2mo
TheBookHippie@dabbe same here we have 5 Title One and three very privileged and then about 10 that are everything in between .. our district alone is 9000. We have a huge district because it‘s everything not in the city proper.2mo
TheSpineViewKudos to all the teachers! I would have nightmares too.2mo
dabbe@TheSpineView I hope my brain finally gets over the 30 years of fun-filled trauma. 🤣 Just let me dream of lakes, mountains, and trees, please. 😍2mo
dabbe@TheBookHippie Ours is one of the biggest in the state with 27,000 students. I think we have around 15 Title 1 schools.2mo
TheBookHippie@dabbe WOWIE. Also- I tried to take sabbatical this year…. Making decisions about next year.2mo
dabbe@TheBookHippie Do what you need to do for YOU. I know if you take another sabbatical, you'll still go in and work. Because you care about those kids, and they need you. At my high school, I'm not needed at all. They have all the privilege and everything that goes with that. So, it's easier to stay away and not sub. It's the 1st year I declined to do AP test proctoring as well. #timeformetomoveon#ifonlymybrainwouldlisten2mo
ReggieI used to be a waiter and had nightmares all the time about the restaurant. Great haiku.2mo
EggsI still have nightmares about middle school…😳2mo
TheBookHippie@dabbe 🙃😬🤷🏻♀️ still deciding. I was a nurse for 20 years I would dream I lost the key to the med cart or reach for my stethoscope around my neck while I was asleep 🤣🫣😂2mo
bellabellaI was homeschooled all the way until I graduated high school. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, but I can guess by the way I see middleschoolers now. It's very sad.2mo
SaunteringVaguelyDownwardsI was fortunate enough to get my teaching job without subbing first - those who do it have my utmost respect! (Except for that one sub who ignored my detailed sub plans to keep us on pace with the novel we were reading and just "discussed current events" in my English classes.)2mo
dabbe@Reggie I was a waitress once, too! And had some nightmares there also! Usually in those, I drop all of the dishes, and the cook has to yell something like “Redo!“ 🤣2mo
dabbe@bellabella It's exactly what my pic portrays. Kids doing all kinds of things except what they're supposed to be doing and me standing in the middle of the room, not knowing whose behavior to try to stop first. 😱2mo
dabbe@SaunteringVaguelyDownwards So was I. I was a teacher fro 30 years until I retired in 2021; my last year was the COVID year. I subbed after that, and the last day I did it was when I had to deal with freshmen all day. That was enough. 😳2mo
