How do I politely inform the new reading teacher to quit saying “We was” and “I seen”?🥴 She’s a sub filling in the rest of the year due to unforeseen absence. I’ve even had students mention it to me.😬

Be careful with this one. I’d get admin to do it.

i doubt that her grammar will have any effect on the students so I'd let it go. If they ask at some point, you can talk about the differences in dialect- one is more formal to be used in school and one is less formal. they might have family members who speak like that as well.

Unless she is overall an awful long term substitute and unless she asks for help, is under formal training, or under your direct mentorship I'd mind my own business.

She’s moving into that position permanently. She’s getting her alternative certification.

Someone who has a real relationship with her needs to sincerely tell her so she doesn’t look foolish in front of students or parents. Find a friend of hers to assist.

Tell her a few of the kids mentioned it to you and so for consistency sake you need her to grammatically correct and say...

Mention it to the grade level chair and then maybe the grade level chair can talk to her.

Department chair? 🤷‍♀️ 🤔

Please don’t take this the wrong way. If she is black, have a black teacher to speak with her about it. I am only saying this because of the times we are living in. I know that you’re only trying to help. 😬

Tell her. Straight up. No need to sugar coat or get admin involved.

We hear about a lot of teachers leaving, retiring, quitting, etc. but is anyone out there the ones who are being “left behind?” I’m sad because so many of our staff is leaving. The only bright spot is that we’ve had a couple positive interviews. Other than that, feeling down that there’s just a handful of us old timers. For the past 2 years all the activities and clubs stopped, PTA died in 2019, and now all we have are memories. How to rebuild? Or is this the new normal?

I just want to vent. I finished viewing the farewell video that my principal put together for our students to view. I was omitted from the video. All the other teachers are there. My husband thinks I’m being too sensitive but this isn’t the first time the principal has “forgotten” about me. Last week she forgot to include me in the staff end of year meeting invite and I had to find out from someone else. The only time anyone knows I exist is when they want translating done 🤬
