>>34395703why did you become a teacher? you seem very poorly matched for the job.
>>34395703What kind of shithole do you live in? South America?
>>34395703Should've taught middle or elementary mayhaps even intermediate.Teaching hs is for hardasses whomst don't take shit from any goy gentile or golem.
>>34395710>>34395717This high school was the only job for a mathematician where I live
>>34395703That's what you get for being a math teacher. Maths is shit and every single math teacher I ever met in school was a sour-faced overly serious killjoy. Students don't respect stick-up-the-ass teachers, they want a cool & fun teacher that has character, who can make everyone feel at ease. Art teachers are top tier at this, same with geography teachers, and a few English literature teachers. C'mon admit it math is making you miserable, 'teach'. Picrelated
>>34395703Get the fuck away from that school system and don’t look back. I hope this doesn’t sour you entirely on teaching.
>>34395717You have to carry a lot of that same hardassery into elementary education too, honestly. Kids are cruel and a lot of people working in education seem to exist just to make your job harder.
>>34395730art teachers are always the cuntiest bitches
>>34395741Nta but the reason why people working in education make the job harder for teachers who wants to do their job is because they're being held hostage by parents. What I mean is, teachers don't want to deal with fucking Karens and dumbass parents who are negligent and clearly raised a fucking animal child. They blame all of their child's faults in teachers at the drop of a hat. We had one person who made a thread here asking how to sue their school because their kid wanted to go out of class to drink at a fountain and teacher said no and the kid passed out of dehydration. The parent-anon never bothered taking the kid to a doctor, never even bothered packing water for their kid before school, they just assumed every teacher would allow kids to do whatever they want during class time. And because the parent deprived their kid of water (refusing to pack them a fucking bottle of water) their kid passed out and now it's all the school's fault apparently with a lawsuit in the worksThat's the shit education workers fear and they make sure your wings are clipped as a teacher to play it safe. You are not allowed to discipline these narcissistic zoomer gremlins apparently.Gen Alpha will be a better bunch
>>34395751The female ones are. Male art teachers are fucking chill. Matter of a fact every female teacher is a cunt-bitch. All they do is take their nagging they dish out to their husband and unleash it on the kids.
>>34395769nah young cute english teachers are the goat teachers.
>>34395703>>he also told me I should wear longer skirts because I can't compete with the students "in their prime"this is advice
>>34395761Not OP, I work in a school and some teachers absolutely are cunts about water and will use the "privilege" of getting water as a punishment. Especially towards students with behavioral needs who will then have even more trouble managing those behaviors, and therefore be punished by the teacher even further. I have also seen teachers and even admin on occasion do plenty of other harm. Sometimes the kids/ parents are objectively the ones who are in the right. In fact, I would say it's often.Should the kid's parents have packed him a bottle? Probably. But there's plenty of parents who can't afford to do that financially, which schools are supposed to serve, and who reasonably expect their children will be about to access the water fountain at least a few times a day. Or parents might forget. Or, yeah maybe they are just neglectful assholes. But it's still on the teacher additionally if they're denying children water long enough that they pass out.Shitty parents make the job harder. So do shitty teachers. And there's a lot of both of them. If my child passed out at school after being denied water you can bet I would be right there suing the school too. And I have a lot of co-workers whose children attend this district and are absolutely furious at the district and fighting them for one reason or another, rightfully.
>>34395802>But there's plenty of parents who can't afford to do that financiallyGo turn on the tap at home and fill a bottle. Wow not so hard.
>>34395831Homeless children go to school. Children without potable water at home go to school. Children whose parents do not have a bottle because they can only afford tap water go to school. All of them, and children whose parents can afford these things, are entitled to water.
>>34395837You're virtue signalling and denying reality dude. Homeless children don't go to school, they're homeless and in the streets under a bridge. Not a single street urchin ever thought to themselves "oh man I wanna go to school" what they think is "I need money I need food">Who parents do not have a bottle because they can only afford tap waterTap water is free. The fuck do you think we're taking about? Subsaharan Africa? Bottles cost pennies dude. If parents can't afford a bottle they can't afford plates or bowls or cups or forks or spoons. They just eat off the floor? You're just a teacher you're not captain America chill out
>>34395889Nope. Are there homeless kids on the streets who don't go to school? Yeah. But homeless kids in shelters do.>Tap water is free.Bottles to take your tap water to school are not. And if you have tap water at home and are poor, you're not buying your child a bottle. Especially when the school has water fountains.
>>34395910>Homeless kids in shelters doSo not homeless kids then>Bottles to take your two water to school are notBro it's fucking pennies, you can even just take a used or old empty bottle of milk and just fill it with water. You're over exaggerating poverty and it tells me you've never a risky been brought up by broke parents, I have and your caricature of poverty is fucking silly dude. Child negligence is child negligence and if a parent isn't packing water into their kids school backpacks they're shit parents
lol teachers have it bad. I remember one time in class we convinced our teacher to do a carlwheel and we would behave. We didn’t behave. Cousin was a math teacher, he hated it, he’s jobless now
>>34395831let the kids go get a drink of water during your class. wow not so hard.
>>34395923Not having a house doesn't stop being homelessness because you're staying in a homeless shelter dude. And there are different severities of poverty.
>>34395939>let the kids go get a drink of water during your class. wow not so hard.No because the little shit keeps sneaking off to wander the halls and missing half the lessons. Little Timothy is a lying little shit, I saw him drink from the fountain before class.>>34395947>And there are different severities of poverty.None of which you lived so I can't take your assessment of poverty seriously. "Parents are too poor to afford a piece of plastic to carry water" lmao that's fucking rich
>>34395999cringepost
>>34396015I don't care you're a female
>>34395999Anon, you didn't even consider the fact that children staying in shelters would be attending school. I'm not going to play the game you're at where I pretend I know that you weren't poor growing up. But your experience with poverty is not every experience with poverty. And more often than not when a student tries to get water and a teacher refuses, it's a legitimate request and the teacher knows it too. And at least half that time, they're saying no as a consequence and not because they intend to let them go later. I have seen it plenty of times. Education is rife with teachers who fail to respect or get to know their students.
>>34395703Find another school. Not all schools are like this. I’m working at a school that has a coffee machine, fridge and several staff across the campus. What are you like as a teacher? Have you built any relationships with students? How long have you been a teacher? >gets mad>yells at herI think you could’ve used it as a teaching moment and ask the class if they could help her. Or you could ask prompting questions to guide her. If a student is asked to solve something they don’t know, they could react out of embarrassment. >>34395730Room temp iq post
>>34395703>fathers who come to pta meetings don't take anything seriously and make stupid """jokes""", one of them keeps signing the attendance list as "Ted Kaczynski", "Tyler Robinson" or "Osama Bin Laden"KeKKKK
>>34395703That was me a long time ago. Was going to be a math teacher and this bullshit in classrooms was just starting. I pivoted to accounting and have done a lot better than I could ever do as a teacher.
>>34395703>>students keep smoking cigs in toilets all the time, no consequences whatsoeverlarp. zoomers vape. they see actually smoking cigarettes as expensive and nonsensical in comparison
>>34395703No one cares and caring just a little will make you miserable, and that is why no one care.
>>34395703>>principal told me I've got a "1990s porn star makeup" SLUT
>>34396095>What are you like as a teacher?Miserable>Have you built any relationships with students? Yes, there were 3 students who liked me and they were good at maths but then they moved to different schools>How long have you been a teacher?4 years
