I attended a birthday party at a splash pad/park near the school where I teach and there were soooo many students there! It was fun to see them but also awkward because I was wearing a swim suit 😂 I should have realized there might be students there. Has anyone else had awkward encounters with students during summers or holidays?

I feel it's only awkward if you let it be.

My summer/free time is mine. I'm going to spend it the way I want to.

If a student sees me outside of school and feels uncomfortable, that's on them. If they make any jokes about anything they see me do in public, I laugh with them and move on. There's already enough stress inherent in this job without adding extra by being self-conscious about what I do in my free time 😉

I think some stress melted away just reading this. Thank you, I appreciate the thought!

One of my students told me that her mom had seen me on Tinder and showed her daughter my profile. There wasn't anything lurid on it but it definitely felt like worlds were colliding, to paraphrase George Costanza, who most of you don't know.

LOL this gave me a good chuckle! Thanks for sharing

Haha definitely one of the cons of living within a smaller community. Bumping into students literally everywhere!

Only in Disney. My students know I’m there a lot (I live in NJ, not Fl) and many times I may see them if it’s a break for school, but I also take off your go. Otherwise, I would never even consider going any place within a 20 mile radius of my school

Really struggling with a few students in my kindergarten class this year and looking for suggestions. I've been teaching K for 10 of the 16 years I've been a teacher, and have never felt as disrespected by students as I do this year. Several students continually talk, yell, and laugh over me, or make noises when I am talking. They are sent away from the group to reset and make a better choice, but usually continue when they return. Parent contact has been supportive, but hasn't helped.

Thoughts on leaving PA primarily due to the metrics based culture (utilization, dtc, use of X digital tool, revenue, margin, etc).
