So many names are ruined

I’m currently pregnant as a first time mom and have been teaching elementary for 6 years. It’s crazy how names that I’ve liked and considered for my future children and purely ruined either because of the student, the family, or just general association with certain names.

Amazon Basics Pencils Have Changed - and they are terrible

I teach middle school math. I’ve given up on pencil management, and it’s a wonderful feeling. If students need pencils, I have plenty. I go over my expectations at the beginning of the year. Basically, help yourself to a pencil if you need one, take it with you if you want to. If you don’t want it, put it back or leave it in the supply box at your table. I just ask that students don’t break them and throw them away, which happens sometimes. All of this was working fine because I could buy a pack of 1000 from Amazon and they were pre sharpened, good quality. The last pack I bought was different! The kids snapped them into little pieces immediately. Any recommendations on a brand that is cheap and good quality? submitted by /u/Capable_Risk_5427 [link] [comments]

Think I made a mistake leaving my old job...

I left my NICU job for a new specialty, but I wish I stayed. While I was sick of working nights and some of the stress of the high acuity, I miss working at a well-staffed and well-resourced hospital. My new job only really has one benefit: M-F, 8-4 and rotating weekends/holidays. My old job had a waitlist for days, every other weekend and I felt like I couldn't truly "control" my week-to-week because of my work schedule being flipped. Now I feel like this new job isn't a fit and I almost would rather go back where I came from than stay where I am (if my old manager would even have me). I'm aware that the same issues would be present, so I'm attempting to find something else, but the market is pretty tough, and I don't have experience outside of NICU (most NICUs hire into nights). It's basically been ~1 year of me trying to find a job I want to dedicate the next decade of my life to and I'm beginning to feel pretty down about moving around the way I have and still not being satisfied.

How do introvert teachers keep a social life?

By the end of a work week, I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted. I don't want to spend a Friday night partying, and on Saturdays I spend solo to recharge. Sundays are spent mentally preparing for the week. I love teaching, but by the end of the week, I have no energy to expand on big social events, and almost everyone I do know already has a huge social network, and if they do want to do something, it's usually some place loud and crowded like a bar. Like, I don't want to be anti-social, but large group gatherings, even if it's fun, just leave me feeling drained afterwards.

It’s just another way to control…

Teaching is insufferable in today’s world. Everything in teaching is draining. The meetings, reviews, grading, counseling, communicating, teaching, solving problems, putting out fires… everything. It is a thankless job. After the most recent changes to the student loan forgiveness program, me wanting to get my master’s, and the reality that the only pay increase that comes with teaching is through additional education, my pursuit of more education is now all sorts of more complicated and expensive. My undergrad alone was $60k. I feel like this decision signals the future of teaching and education, and this action was another attack on education, whether to push more AI and technology into classrooms and further remove the student from the teacher. It’s also meant to keep teachers and educators in a tighter financial grip, limiting their purchasing power. God, this sucks. submitted by /u/luckypuffun [link] [comments]

Unknown Classes 😬

I’ve now had this happen to me a number of times and it bothers me to no end. I get hired at the beginning of the summer to teach in one or both of my subject areas. I then ask politely: What classes will I be teaching in the fall? I would like to start planning over the summer. I’m told they will tell me when they know. And then I wait to hear what grade level(s) I’ll be working with or if I will have multiple preps. After a month, I politely ask for any updates. One principal waited until the day before school started to hand me a schedule with 4 preps. Others have waited until less than a week before the opening bell. As a detailed planner, this literally puts me a month behind and stresses me beyond measure. I’ve worked on the admin side and can’t imagine what is happening in the office that would make it difficult to share at least one of my preps with me, let alone multiple. Strangely I did not care for working at these particular schools for those particular bosses. I was hired

Been about a year since our hospital rolled out the spectrum IQ’s and I haven’t heard of other’s having issues with the pumps. Loads of safety features/alarm limits, almost feel that this model throws alarms even when there AREN’T issues. Anyway, had this larger (137.6 kg) patient with severe MVD for the last 2 nights now and has been running Heparin since the 28th. Had not had a single q6 UFH IIa within range during his admission yet, titrated up to 25units/kg/hr. Pretty high dose compared to our average therapeutic range which is usually around 11-16units/kg/hr. At shift change the first night, I swapped the bags with the off-going nurse because the pump was dry and alarming. Heparin gtt’s require 2 person sign off so it was just easier to do it with her. She did the bag swap and scanned it in, I double checked that the pump and MAR’s dose and pt weight were the same and signed it off. The only thing is I didn’t check the volume to be infused, which normally wouldn’t be an issue. Aro

How does the EdTech adoption process actually work at most institutions?

Ease of integration? Student demand? What would make you say NO to something like NotebookLM even if it looked promising? Have you seen AI study tools actually improve learning outcomes?

“Equity Sticks” for 9th grade

Hi all, happy summer! I know July just started, but I can’t help but brainstorm new ideas for how I want to run my classroom next year. This will be my third year teaching 9th grade U.S. History. A consistent struggle has been participation — when I take volunteers to ask/answer questions, it is predictably the same handful of kids in each class that do all the thinking. When I “randomly” call on kids, no one is prepared to answer and there’s no accountability for listening and learning. I’ve thought back to some of my own classes where I felt I learned the most. Many of those teachers used popsicle sticks (or as I’ve seen them called recently, “equity sticks”) to randomly select students. As someone who grew up with a lot of social anxiety, this system did admittedly scare the shit out of me. But I think it was ultimately successful in getting me to pay attention. I just don’t know about implementing it for 9th grade. It feels a little… juvenile? (Although my 9th graders have behaved

NotebookLM for school – is it actually worth it? What subjects work best, and are there better alternatives?

Hey everyone, I'm doing some investigation and looking into NotebookLM as a subject for my research, so just curious to learn. And also, just like, anything would be helpful. For those of you using it academically: How are you actually using it? (e.g., feeding it lecture slides, dense research papers, or entire textbooks?) Do you genuinely recommend it? And what subjects does it shine in? I've heard it's decent for humanities but falls apart with math-heavy or logic-based STEM stuff – is that your experience? What are the biggest pitfalls or things I should be aware of? I know about the 50-source limit, but how often does it hallucinate or mess up citations in your actual workflow? Also, I'm really curious about alternatives. If you've ditched NotebookLM for something else, what did you switch to, and why is it actually better for your specific use case?

Disgruntled ex preceptor

I switched preceptors during my new grad orientation because we just weren’t a good fit. There wasn’t one huge incident, but there were enough issues that I felt I wasn’t getting the learning experience I needed. Management was supportive and I was reassigned pretty quickly. Now I’ve found out my former preceptor has apparently been telling people around the unit that she’s upset I “fired” her. On top of that, she’s been going up to my coworkers (some of whom are friends) asking what I’ve said about her and trying to find out if I’ve been talking about her behind her back. She’s even mentioned that she’s upset about the fact that she’s no longer getting paid extra because she doesn’t have anyone to precept. The thing is…I haven’t.

Is AI tutoring actually an equity tool, or does it mostly help students who already have support?

I've been thinking about AI tutoring less as a replacement for teachers and more as a first layer of help for students who do not already have easy access to a patient adult. On the optimistic side, a student can ask basic questions without embarrassment, repeat an explanation five times, get examples in their own language, or turn messy notes into a study plan. That feels like a real access shift, especially for students who do not have private tutors, educated parents, or quiet time with a teacher. But I am also skeptical that access to answers automatically becomes equity. The students who benefit most may still be the ones with devices, good prompts, enough motivation, stable internet, adults who check the work, and schools that help them use the tool well. Without that support, AI could become another thing that looks equal on paper but widens the gap in practice. So I am curious how people here think about it from an edtech/classroom perspective: Where does AI tutoring actually r

How do you deal with ethical distress?

We have a patient with a very terminal tumor. He's a full code but parents refused interventions-repositioning, pain medications, assessments. Aspirating on all consistencies but family is allowing them to eat by mouth (which is totally fine, but relevant to the story). They're still getting chemo and steroids. They were sent home on hospice but readmitted with pneumonia and pressure ulcers (stage III) that are gaping wounds. Family is declining pain meds and telling people not to ask him about his pain. I understand this is an awful situation, but it all feels so unethical. There is one way this story ends, and the patient is suffering, but ethics has not been consulted and the medical teams are okay with continuing what's been going on.

Are injuries really unavoidable in this field?

I’m in nursing school right now and a number of my instructors have complained of the injuries they sustained while working. They make it seem somewhat like the trades, in that it is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ you get injured. Has this been true in your experience? Has anyone had a longer career and avoided physical injury? I wonder if this possibility is the main driver of new grads trying to get out of bedside as soon as possible (trying to go NP/PA/CRNA).

Tired of "Solutions"

I have been a classroom teacher since 1999, and I have finally had enough of what I call "solutions made by engineers and accountants". To many times in to many districts a solution has been bought to do.... (insert problem here)... and guess what, it was never made with teachers in mind... How we work, what we need... etc.... So, I am posting this here to create accountability for myself, because bringing forth issues/concerns without providing solutions (or ideas for ways to improve) is nothing but complaining. So, therefore I am going to solve my problems for myself and my classroom, such as Seating Plans. This may seem trivial but over the years, I have experienced good seating plans (kids are awesome, working, etc...), make a change, and its like the world has fallen apart. If you have any idea's, suggestions, or your own problems comment away, maybe we can help each other out... (And yes, I am planning on cross-posting so I can get more suggestions...) submitted by /u/tomwhyte1 [

Accepted a position and was offered another

I accepted a .7 position at a school a few weeks ago, and signed my contract last week. I never really intended to work there because it’s a 40 minute commute solely on backroads and I want a 1.0 position. Just now I got the call offering me a job 20 minutes away and 1.0 (yay!). I feel bad/guilty backing out on the first job. In the contract I signed it stated that employment was contingent on fingerprinting (which I haven’t done) and certs (which I never sent in) and that resignations are expected 60 WORK days prior ( technically as I write this it is 60 regular days prior to the school year starting) Just looking to hear if anyone has done this / any advice. I’m in MA if it makes any difference. submitted by /u/Internal-Dream8873 [link] [comments]

Why don’t people take our work seriously

Hi everyone Summer break just started here and it’s like everyone around me expects me to be completely relaxed and energised. Why don’t they seem to understand that this past year was absolutely horrific…. (One of my favourite coworkers passed away, admin majorly sucked and made some massive mistakes, kids with serious behavioural issues weren’t taken seriously which ended with me getting stuf thrown at my head,…) I hate it so much that people seem to think we don’t need time to recover. I’m so annoyed that people think I’m grumpy rn but honestly, I can’t muster up the energy to be social right now… submitted by /u/Ice_cream99 [link] [comments]

Anyone else do most things alone over summer? I have no single teacher friends close to my age

24M here from Tennessee. I never mind going out and doing things solo. (Actually going to the beach solo next week) but sometimes I do wish I had a friend or two to get out with—specifically during the week. I think the biggest issue is that not many young people are getting into the profession anymore, and the ones I do know that are in it have significant others. Anyone else run into this sort of thing? Ps: I’m not complaining at all about being off from work. submitted by /u/Vast-State-4548 [link] [comments]

Why does edtech fail to innovate to solve it's needs, but just use innovations from other fields?

Edtech doesn't seem to drive innovation internally. In fact, what is claimed to be innovative and disruptive in edtech tends to be even larger failures. It seems like edtech that has provided value, are innovations from other fields. - Projectors (business presentations) - LMSs (information systems) - Notes like Notion, (organisational knowledge management) - ... Edtech academia on the technical side has had a lot of funding over the years, but even after creating so many intelligent tutoring systems and learning analytics, they tend not to provide much value in practice. submitted by /u/ajourneytogrowth [link] [comments]

Do any of yall teachers remember any students?

Honestly, with all my years of school, including college, I probably had less than like 100 teachers and I remember all of them even if I was barely going to classes in college. I was just wondering if you teachers remember any students at. I’m sure you remember the ones that made big scandals or something, but do you remember any students really? I guess a follow up is how long it really take to forget someone is it just as soon as the last day of school or the next school year ? submitted by /u/Positive-Positivity [link] [comments]

What's one teaching strategy that consistently works, regardless of the subject?

Whether you teach elementary school, high school, college, or tutor privately, every educator seems to have one technique they rely on. What's one strategy that has consistently helped your students stay engaged and actually understand the material? I'm always looking to learn from experienced educators and would love to hear what works for you. submitted by /u/PinIndividual3392 [link] [comments]

6-7 and Codified Bullying

After the school year finished a child informed me that there was so much bullying that occurred right in front of the teacher - in code language that only the kids understood. It appears a particular class could develop their own codified terms and use them in different ways. Also, I know 6-7 started as innocent humor but it seems now it can be used in mocking/bullying ways (or maybe it’s always been and I’m just late in the game 🤷‍♂️). I wanted to know how you sniff this out and respond to these toxic environments especially when many kids are afraid to “snitch”? submitted by /u/ksallah [link] [comments]
