#future teacher

[punkwhenihavethespoons]

I'm wondering if I should make a blog or something to document my experiences as a chronically ill/disabled first year teacher?

I’m gonna have to marry into a financially well off family because my ass decided teaching was a great career choice in this economy

If you’re considering having children, please take a good long look at the teachers in America today. What I’ve learned in the past year and a half of working in a teacher certification program?

They can’t read. This is not a joke. Anything from background checks to substitute licenses has 75 clarifying questions despite the instructions being outlined step by step.

They’re entitled. Teaching is a noble and hard profession. These college students will throw literal tantrums if you don’t do something for them. (Kid you not, have gotten more than one email saying “why can’t you do it?”)

Unprofessional as fuck. No one can write an email. We have a whole workshop that lasts the week just trying to drill into their minds that you can’t address people with “sup”, or not even signing your name. Who are you?? What do you want?

Answer shopping is insane. If you don’t give them the answer they want, they can and will email every single person in the college. This is a trend.

Can’t keep their hands out of their pants. Alarming! I know! It’s harsh. But not everyone is meant to be a teacher. Most aren’t, really. It’s terrifying.

Notion setup🗓️

Guess who’s back with actual posts :D! I got started on my notion setup yesterday and worked on it for about 3h, getting a bit frustrated trying to color code my module list lol Today I’ve spent ~6h so far working on it and I’m far from calling it a day. Right now there’s a main page, the module list and outlines for my subject pages which I still have to actually set up. To-do:

-make list of 1st/2nd semester modules for my timetable

-create actual subject pages

-try to remember stuff I currently can’t think of

Someone: “so what is it you DO in your education classes?”

*Me, remembering the two hours we spent roleplaying as first graders while watching eachother’s mock lessons*: “uhhhh. Very important uh. Education things. Yep. Super serious. Serious stuff over here in the education department, really.”

i’m double majoring in history and education so i can become a high school history teacher and the farther away i get from being a high school student and closer to a teacher the more i realize that the reason they find history and english classes boring is because these kids are hormones and angst personified so every literary protagonist filled with yearning and gothic drama or the convoluted alliances being formed throughout the period of nation states developing and leading to the use of wars of attrition instead of the cult of the offensive are literally just a regular tuesday for these guys and they’d just be like “well franz ferdinand wasn’t studying for the SAT”

like i was shadowing a class last semester and one of my tasks was to learn how to listen in on conversations and decide when to intervene versus when to let them learn on their own and the conversations at tables would be battle strategy level coordination to get to the other end of the school and back before the bell rang just to see someone’s crush or kids asking to go to the bathroom with the same urgency of elizabeth bennett trying to leave pemberly after running into mr darcy
