People who are not current teachers (this includes admin, “district office” people, parents, school boards, politics, and government) not understanding what the fuck we teachers deal with on a day to day basis and what we are willing to do for every single student of ours! And in return being yelled at and not paid enough by the people who couldnt do our job because the dont have the patience, love, or human decency that us teachers have!

That it will go mostly online and digital and the basic social skills and everything else that students learn while in school will be lost.

With that being said I’m excited in increased access to high quality material via digital means to all types of students

I agree. I’ve had a few students come from online schools and they are behind academically and lack appropriate social skills.

That it’s not being prioritized. We may no longer have to memorize facts, but we need to all be aware that students have to be taught and practice analyzing data. Education is still just as important

Student behavior and parents not holding their children accountable, instead they make excuses for them and pass the blame on the teachers.

This is my number 1 concern about the future of education !

The future of mental health in schools, and the lack of empathy for kids that are coming from more and more difficult situations.

The division that continues to grow between low income and affluent students. Also, that our public education will be dismantled by the growth of charter schools with discriminatory admission requirements

The dismantling of teacher unions and the backlash against public education and its educators. The amount of passive aggressive “why aren’t teachers doing ____” when most of these blanks should be parent-taught skills is making me defensive. I’m worried about my retirement fund and legislators trying to dismantle it. BUT I’m not worried about my students. They are killing it.

Hi,

I am 31. Married for 12 years. I spoke to my doctor two days ago about sterilization. It was the first time a gynecologist didn't judge me for that. I know they're supposed to council because of the risk of regret, but sometimes they seem judgy. I am considering getting my tubes tied, but my husband isn't super on board because of the finality of it.

He is ok with not having kids, but seems to think I will change my mind.

So my AP environmental science students take their AP test next Thursday, and I have 63 students taking it. I decided I want them to have dinner / a senior gift. I decided to ask for donations for $500 and in less than 3 hours I exceeded $400, most donations from past students. My point, you are making a difference if you feel you aren’t, I was reminded of that today.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
