"Do it for the kids."
I AM, but this is still a job and I still deserve to be compensated.
Pro
Yes!!!!!!
It’s about the outcome, not the income. Well, my input is way more than your output in my paycheck. I feel like this is just another way to justify crappy pay!
Pro
That’s a good one! Absolutely! I find most of the repeated phrases are said to justify low pay
"Build Relationships~"
For real? I need to do that to be an effective teacher? Wow! Thank you for telling me something I didn't know! Now, onto the classes that I have no time for building a relationship in because I'm too busy trying to get through break neck pacing so that my kids can take a test!

So ridiculous! 😂
“Remember to take care of yourself! By the way, seventeen different varieties of paperwork are needed from you by yesterday. Now go give 110% because these children are other people’s most precious possessions. Oh, and no one gets a lunch or prep today because we’re short on subs.
“Remember, self-care is important!”
I would also like to point out that it is statistically impossible to give 110%.

Sometimes it feels like one big practical joke 😂
I don’t have a phrase, but I really detest the word “kiddos” lol

So tell me does your annoying phrase seem to change every year?? Last year our term was "bandwidth"... "do we have enough mental bandwidth" NO we do not, we do not have enough literal bandwidth either as the Wi-Fi is ALWAYS down!

Interesting lol
I am done with the "catch phrases". I'm just doing my job until the contracted time, and doing searches constantly for better employment. I love teaching, but I hate the way I (and all the other teachers) are treated for choosing this career.
