The secret to getting kids talking in English? It’s not bribing them with candy (trust me, I’ve tried 😂).

Check out these game-changing tips that actually work! 🌟

Just a man enjoying a few moments of solitude at work…no chatting, no yelling, no tattling…just sitting in his spinnie chair, eating grapes.

Lunch goes by too fast 😭😭😭

The problem with spending most of my life with teenagers is the wannabe Nike addiction I’ve developed.

#Nike #Dunks #AirJordans #TeacherProblems

I just spent 10 minutes hovering around my doorway watching the hall for two young ladies I thought had slipped out without permission during the wrong lunch period. I was kicking myself for being distracted helping other kids since these two are a bit of a known element.

One of them just came up to me from inside my room and asked what I was doing. They were both hunkered in the back corner working on their Chromebooks the whole time.

I'm officially THAT teacher now. I lost two kids IN MY OWN ROOM THAT HAS NO WALLS OR DIVIDERS OR ANYTHING!!!

*sigh*

I really wish the janitors at my school would’ve put all the tasks at least on stacked after the box the floors. My back is absolutely freaking killing me trying to set up my classroom. And because it hurt so bad yesterday, I couldn’t get any work done. I’m very frustrated and upset. But it will be OK, I will get it done.

When the automatic captioning tries to be helpful but isn’t.

Me: let’s break down the word homozygous. Homo is a Greek prefix meaning same. In Latin you also see homo and there it means man. But here, Greek. Same.

The captioning: let’s break down the word homozygous. **** is a Greek prefix meaning same. In Latin you also see **** and there it means man. But here, Greek. Same.

Context is important.

Sometimes I get SO derailed by things based solely on the principle of the matter...

I try to be a positive person and recognize that my students are still teenagers and sometimes require some... grace.

But I'm SO tired of how often the same kids who insist on spending every class period either on their phones, cutting up with their friends, or nodding off repeatedly keep sending me tortured emails wondering how they can get their grade up and coming by during other hours with those hurt looks on their faces.

I can help them learn history, or writing, or basic school skills, or any number of other things. Clearly I'm failing at basic "cause and effect" and there's no way they're going to be prepared to cope with reality after high school.

OK - back to being a positive, encouraging person...

My Paraphrase of a Recent Faculty Meeting:

"2023 is going to be a year of INNOVATION for us - by which I mean, we're going to resurrect some programs that we've tried repeatedly over the years but have never worked and which we refuse to alter based on feedback from those who've been through this cycle multiple times. If you resist, it's because you don't care enough about our kids' success to risk being INNOVATIVE!"

As I'm working on lessons for next week, it's a blurry line sometimes between "I'm not sure X or Y would be effective with my current students" and "yeah, they're just not smart enough or emotionally mature enough for this activity to work."

The underlying concern is the same, but over the years I've come to think that TONE is important, even in my own internal voice. Trying to be honest about my kids - who I love, even when they make me tired - but without letting myself become cynical or start undervaluing them.

In an effort to be more culturally aware, the last time I bought random classroom supplies I picked up 3 different 'shades' of Band-Aids - the traditional 'caucasian' version, a darker version apparently intended to more closely match Hispanic skin tones, and a dark brown, which was clearly aimed at Black skin tones.

What I hadn't thought through was that this put me in the position of deciding which one to reach for when a kid asked for a Band-Aid. As an old white guy in a largely Black & Hispanic school, I generally avoid weighing in on "skin tone" discussions - let alone choosing what Band-Aid best matches whoever's in front of me.

Instead, I just pull all three boxes out, which comes across as trying a bit too hard.

Next time, I'm getting Hello Kitty and Batman and such. Problem solved.

I wish my kids would pass their semester exams for all the usual reasons - it's important to graduate, it's nice to pretend they've learned something, etc.

But mostly it just takes SO much longer to grade them when so many of the answers are wrong.

(Go ahead, judge me - but you know I'm right.)

Some (hopefully amusing) venting on students copying - not that they do it, but that they do it so BADLY - https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/can-i-get-copy
@edutooters #edutooter #teachers #education #teacherproblems

May I vent for a moment?

I realize students are going to copy. We can fight it, or require assignments to be done in class, in front of us, with no talking or technology, but unless we're willing to be Draconian, it's going to happen.

What may put me over the edge is when the "original" assignment is full of answers which are not merely wrong, but bizarre - perhaps idiotic or inane. No one can possibly believe the answers even make sense, let alone that they're correct.

But for days I keep getting them, word for word, copied mindlessly from whoever "finished" first and took the picture with their cell phone.

That's when I might scream and begin breaking things. "A local teacher was put on leave today while authorities investigate..."
