I am so glad to have found this bowl! It isn't easy to share your faith in today's educational environment. So that makes me wonder ... how many of you work in Christian or private schools, and how many teach in public schools?

I'll go first: PUBLIC school in San Bernardino.

And sometimes I do share my faith when I feel a student needs help or hope, I suggest that they pray when upset or scared and that God is there for them. I don’t go on and on or give a religious lecture I just mention that prayer helps me and that we are all children of God and can pray when we need help.

I just want to share this practice that I do before classes and it really helps me. I like to write out a prayer in my notebook before class. If it’s an especially tough day in class, or if I start to feel my patience wearing thin, I like to pretend I’m teaching for class notes and just silently read that prayer to myself. No one knows what I’m reading. It just helps me keep calm and centered. I always ask that my attitudes and behaviors always reflect Christ, even when I am disciplining the kids or dealing with disruptive behaviors. This practice has been a game changer for me. I hope it works for you.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Just wanted to share something I do that helps. Before class and before my students come in, I say a prayer for strength, courage, and wisdom that day. I pray that I will reflect God’s love in my interactions with my students, and that they will see Him in me. It helps keep me calm and focused, especially when the kids are all over the place. Not forcing my beliefs on anyone, just having a private moment with God. Give it a try. It is powerful.

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.
