How attached are you to your teacher's chair? How long have you had it? Do you ever let students sit in it?

To add to the above... I’m not really attached to it, but there’s a territorial thing about it. Keeps the kids in check to see the delineation.

delineation is a good word for it

It’s mine and not provided by the school so I’m not obsessed with but I’d be mad if it disappeared one day. I’ve had it less than a year - my old school gave them out but didn’t tag them so I took mine when I left. I NEVER let students sit in my chair, or touch anything around my desk lol

My teacher's chair stays behind my desk. Students are not allowed behind my desk, so nope...they ain't sitting in MY teacher chair. 😂😂😂

I don’t let my students sit in my chair. Some of them still have accidents so it’s easier just to make it off limits to everyone.

I have the one behind my desk, some kids have sat in it... I don’t have much of a desk anyways. It’s more of a table so I’m not territorial about it. I do have another computer chair that I keep in my room for a flexible option. It’s busted but the kids love it

i've definitely had a kid get a hold of it and roll down the hall

Rarely use it.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

I’ll be retiring from a public school system in the next 3-5 years. My husband, a Navy vet, and I are tossing around the idea of then relocating to a country that has a military base nearby.

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
