My favorite memory would come from my first year. I came in half way through a school year and the class had already had 4 different teachers. I started in a socratic circle and was full of excitement. I quickly realized these kids weren't excited to have me and told me straight up to just leave like everyone else.

Long story short I stayed and won the majority over. Some kids came go me at graduation and thanked me for believing in them or for staying. I was so full of pride and happiness knowing I had made an impact

After 31 years, my favorite memory comes from year 4. Josh came back to school three days after Easter break because his family had been visiting Florida. When I asked him about his trip, he replied, “It was great! We stayed right on the beach in a giant condom!” Never before or since have I had such a hard time swallowing my burst of laughter.

Any advice on telling your boss you’re leaving your team? For context, I’m the 4th one leaving within a month (boring product, not toxic or anything), and the manager id be telling is my skip level, as my old manager left the team and I’m actually moving to his new team. Trying not to throw shade on my old (new? lol) manager bc I know that he spent all of his career in this department before moving. Is there any way to soften the blow, other than just giving a 2-3 week notice?

My school is a small rural school. We don’t offer many in-house electives. What’s happening is students are having to take whatever is there to fill their schedules. If they aren’t interested in the class, then it becomes an opportunity for disruptions because they aren’t interested. What are some electives you have at your school that are new, innovative and interesting for todays high school students?

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.
