I am a substitute teacher doing a leave replacement. I have noticed that many teachers who do not have a clue on how to maintain their class make more than the ones who do have a better idea. Is it their degree? Is it the amount of in service points? You would think with all the in service points a teacher would do better! I know a teacher in my district who cannot handle her 1rst grade class. A student had noticably different behavior (didnt do HW, very quiet) and I told the mother about this when i saw her! (I subbed for her class often prior to getting the leave position). She talked to the teacher and the teacher gave her a non chalant yes that she saw the difference. When the mother questioned her why didnt she say anything about the HW, the teacher had no answer and walked away! I have subbed for her class many times and I know I can do a damn better job! Alas, I am the lowly sub who is waiting for a teacher to retire to become FT .
FancyName, my district should be based on the Merit system. I would love it if it was! Lord knows how many of these teachers who manage to slide by or know people in the higher up would really last!

RE: Degrees

I have an MS in Elem. Edu.
Dual Certified in Elementary & Spec Ed.

I know I didn’t mention this (oops) but next time you can also ask!
Mckayla, if my district didn’t think that I was qualifed to do a leave of absence, I would say that you have a point about the bulk of the things you said. Obviously I am doing something right if I was chosen ahead of the subs with longer service time.
RE: if I ever heard one comparing themselves to me, especially to parents and co-workers, I would be totally pissed.

Your problem is that you dont realize that the only difference between you and me is a different contract. I don’t know what degrees you have earned but I am one of the few subs with a Masters.

So you’re proving my point of the “lowly sub” which is how many teachers treat us. You could have more experience than me and thats fine. But if you get to the barebones of it we are both teachers. You’re full time and I’m part time that’s what it comes down to!
One more thing, I don’t criticize teachers to their face. When I’m at work I hold my opnions. The sad part is that the people who make such comments are the rest of the faculty who always have something to say in the teachers lounge. That’s a whole different topic though.

RE: but if I am doing my job well…. it will refect in your success

That’s the thing, she isn’t! She seems to be there only for the benefits! She hasn’t failed anyone for as long as I’ve been there. My guess is that she wants to seem perfect and only gives her all when she is being observed. (this is what someone else said in their post here).

Something they can make as a group using their fingerprints or whatever to personalize it.

Neenah asked:


It is a teachers duty to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectable at all times. If you decide to tote a gun to school how could you possibly promote positivity when you go to work everyday thinking this is the day that you might have to use your pistol. You are coming to work in combat mode not ready to teach. It’s time for you to find another job because this is not the job for you anymore. In the process of your irrational thinking you are endangering our childrens lives because what if your pant’s or skirt isn’t tight enough to hold your pistol and it drops to the floor and go off and shoot someones child in the chest, what if you leave it in your desk and forget to lock it one day. Guns are not a place for school, school is the second safetest place to be in the world with your home considered the most safe. Get yourself another job, school is not a battle ground so you should not be preparing for one. What’s your take on this issue?
Coy,

I’m certainly not a waste of time in fact this is an issue that needs to be debated. I respect all point of views but I personally don’t think a teacher should have to tote a gun. In making your points also consider that gun rages happen in grocery stores, and all places of employment, were not trying to take this thing back to the wild, wild west.

I saw something before that was a bag full of different stuff. It had like M&Ms in it with a label on it with different sayings for different colors. And I don’t remember what else. But any cute and crafty ideas would be great. Something that would be cute from Kindergarten kids.

I have been asked to suggest some choir material to my choir material by my choir teacher. My favorite artists are Regina Spektor, Jimi Hendrix, Fiona Apple, and Mariah Carey. Suggest anything you think is good for a choir to sing but also if you know of the artists I have named please pick some selections from their collections thanks.

My French teacher is calling it quits after this term and I want to get her something. What would be a nice, appropriate gift to give her?

i want to dedicate a wonderful song about teachers, Do NOT put anything like we don’t want to have an education, or just wanting to play. but rather expressing appreciation for them and thanking them for helping you and always being there. Expressing kindness and happiness to appreciate them. Nothing funny but serious, heartfelt, touching music. Thanks
