I taught the math lesson so abominably that the vice principal (who was observing at the back of the classroom) took over my lesson. How do you recover after a terrible day at work?

Oof, I’ve been there. Try to remember to give yourself grace. You’re human and will make mistakes and have bad lessons. But a bad lesson doesn’t mean you’re a bad teacher. Take some time to do something for you and then get some sleep. A fresh and well rested start is sometimes the best thing I can do for those days. Hang in there 😊

It’s ok. I tried to check on a suicidal student over winter break via some random app he found me on (I barely used it so I didn’t think much of it) and got a letter in my file.

He added me, I sent the message (I know, “dumbass”)

Was it a formal observation or where they just watching?

It happens. I’ve given up in the middle of my own lessons too many times

Anyone have advice for talking to teachers in your school that are upset with you?
My 4th grade class didn’t show up today because the teachers are upset that student behaviors that are an issue in music are carrying over to their classroom. I understand their frustration, but nothing was communicated with me. I even thought things were going better this week.

If you were still in undergrad would you prefer 1. Go back to campus and have an in person/hybrid learning experience with restrictions on social life
2. Have your school go fully remote for the entire fall semester
3. Defer for a year and resume your education fall 2021 when things will hopefully be “normal”
I think I’d choose 3 but idk. Tough call, and I feel bad for current college students

New marketplace sellers make 100 percent profit. Take your work/materials/resources and make money off them. If you started virtual learning might as well make some extra money off of what you already spent extra time working on.
