Can we please have a day in all college prep programs where soon-to-be teachers are taught how to maintain classroom management when you, as the teacher, are having a coughing fit The fact I made it into my 3rd year without knowing this is devastating

Nothing gives me confidence like my older coworkers complimenting my cooking and asking for the recipes I use I may be 23, but they make me feel like my cooking skills are that of a 60 year old grandma who used to be a head chef at a restaurant before retiring

Starting the day with 5 new pencils in my classroom in the “borrow me jar” where students can borrow them if they need them for my class. Let’s see how many are left at the end of the day and what they look like

My favorite thing to do is brag about my students who are crushing it in my class, and I don’t trust any teacher who doesn’t feel the same

As a teacher, I always doubt any other teacher who brags about “never having a student get full points on a final/test/etc.” If you are bad, or too petty, at your job just say it

Shout out to Capri Sun for being one of the few nostalgic childhood treats that still hits just as hard consuming them as an adult

I don’t have a toddler, but I imagine it is not unlike when I got back from the printer and my class was traumatized after I had “abandoned them for THREE MINUTES” (after telling them where I was going) and a student started chugging spray cheese

Do all teachers put ‘None of the above’ as options on tests when they just really cannot think of another realistic multiple choice answer? Just me?

Damn. I got the letter from the Iowa government telling me it’s my turn to sit on top of the wind turbines and flick a light on all night. Any ideas on how to get out of it?

Nothing will make me lose confidence in myself as fast as trying to work through and explain the math for a simple economics supply/demand word problem for my students I am also the one who wrote the problem
