HELLO LOVELY TEACHER HUMANS. I just joined the world of teachersofinstagram! 🙃

When asking for an opinion say “There are no correct answers” Rather than “There are no wrong answers” To discourage silly answers.

[advanced-procrastination]

Actually a legitimate teaching tool. Students (and basically humans in general) take things like this as a challenge – you say something doesn’t exist, they immediately try to prove you wrong. If you say there are no wrong answers, students will start blurting out the most wrong answers they can think of in order to make you take it back so they can feel like they beat you. But if you say there are no RIGHT answers, they will try to come up with an answer that the teacher accepts as more valid than anybody else’s, thus deeming it the most right.

one of my fellow teachers said earlier this year that deciding between hilary & trump is like choosing between those last few leftover kids for student of the month in June

Like/reblog this post if you’re a young teacher! Preferably in your 20s and in the first five years of teaching. I would love to follow more of you for support, reassurance, communication, etc.

Yo, 28 (maybe not so young? I certainly don’t have almost-retired teachers fawning over my baby status) and starting my 6th year.

Pumpkin latte to push me through the night as I create phonics activities for my special friends

This years struggle is getting out every day before 8PM. Why is this so hard for me (amongst other things).

[misszepog]

Stayed super late on Friday to change my desk seating arrangement after getting to know my little friendlies after a week. Can't wait to see how this one goes.

[misszepog]

Me: Don't lick the sanitizer off your hands.

A: But it tastes good!

Some of us have to stand on a stool to write their morning message.

Still here at 7:19 on a day off. Sigh😴
