So glad I'm out of the teaching profession. There are numerous reasons as to why. At the top of the list: The collapse. Not just of education, but society as a whole. You youngsters mark my words: By the time your kids hit school age, a free and fair education will be neither.
dont think ever had a free and fair education collage is expensive af, used to be neeeded to get a good job but now is just a brainwashing machine. altho internet allows a free education they now passing laws to censor "protect the children"
Haha thanks bud and no wasn’t due to checking stocks at all. There’s way more involved to the reason why I wasn’t asked back to teach. Heck I was trying to teach some personal finance in the class since that’s not in the curriculum
Nope. I taught for 1 year in k-12 and that was about all I could take. They didn’t enforce it, but they really didn’t like the sitting at our desks for even a few minutes, and that kind of irked me.
I have never heard of that. Maybe it’s peculiar to a particular age group, they can’t be trusted (the students) while teachers sit. I sub , and teachers sit while they point at the smart board during reading lessons, or they read a story, or work with small groups.
If your union didn't pitch a bitch about the "improvement plan," you should contact a lawyer post-haste. Aaaaand if you're in a state where unions are weak, thank goodness you got out of there. Good states for teaching still exist.
@@nathanlaoshi8074 I’ve been considering and contemplating whether or not i should have gotten a layer involved. It was a charter school so idk how that would have worked or what would have needed to be done
I feel like there is more to this story. How many years of experience do/did you have? Did you ever work in another district? Did you have a mentor? Were you lateral entry? What were their specific complaints re: your teaching? Were you meeting with your PLC? Were you adhering to school policy? Teachers aren't just let go for not printing up certificates. Also, required trainings are part of the gig.
It was my second year at the school third year teaching overall. And no mentor, no complaints by other faculty or parents just principal. And I get there’s training involved but this was a complete separate entity of training to cover their own butts to say “I didn’t comply.” I was told to read a book and was mostly overall cuz I wasn’t going to spend my own money to buy the right addition book and to buy the certificates they wanted. Even though I completed the reading and trainings it wasn’t good enough cuz I didn’t print the certificates and get the right book
I was in my second semester of my teaching education program at college last semester (equivalent to the spring of junior year for traditional students) and after failing one of my observations, I decided teaching wasn't for me. It's really hard, but videos like these do make me feel some relief (for me, not for the teachers). I wish you the best.
Normal now. I soon expect something similar. You can get ignored, your logical ideas are getting ignored when dealing with certain situations. Even if you proactively come up with solutions and tell them on school board or teach.meetings, you are just ignored at best, demeaned in the middle and bad person who always spouts revolution after their version fail. In same time,you have to manage everything what everyone else pull and demand from janitor, worst student, unmanageable parent to school comity ordering you to make 6big school events in semester without even money funding and after several years you find out 3/4 of school personal do not deal with such ….demands, no one even dares to start with others, you need to manage daily in same job…and wholly burn out, sleeping 4 hours daily, you just stop…..responding. Start to be silent, tell no to event no one else do only you are demanded to do them, and only teach [like only thing you are really paid for], you are told…..if you think teachers should just teach their subjects and despite achieving so much student competition awards and high acceptance of your students to next level prestige schools, for us that is not enough from you…you are no longer capable or wish to put 24/5 and half? get out, we do not need just people who will do bare minimum. [like it should be norm for pulling 4-5hours sleep and hygiene every day=7x5=35hours which is that taken 1 and half day out of 24/7 work on minimal wage for UNI graduates]. Oh and do not get me started on that politics, absolutely horrendous Mexican telenovela slash old china palace intrigues are weak tea what is going in school employment,management, local administrative and posh parents demands relationships.
What school district was this? How long were you teaching? Sounds like you pissed some off. We know the Teach Like a Champ 2.0 😂😂😂. Doug Lemov needs to stop with yearly new editions. I was let go from a charter school on my last teaching job. The students, parent's, teachers and administration were TERRIBLE. I'm going into a teaching fellowship elsewhere. Good luck, just don't come to Las Vegas.
@@rexscipio3344 haha no where near but sounds like you had it rough as well! I guess when you actually do your job and care about your students and see them show some growth, that’s frown upon in some charter schools
Valid complaints about what it is like to work in a public school these days. Obviously, I don't know this guy's situation, but I have to wonder if he is evading some of his own responsibility. When your employer puts you on an improvement plan, it's usually a sign that they've pretty much decided to fire you, and just need to cover their butts legally. The draconian conditions in this poster's improvement plan tell me that the school wanted him to quit. I'm wondering why.
My guy, you don’t get to teach what you want to teach. Adhere to the expectations, work hard, and take responsibility. Reflect on what you can change when you get your next job. I’ll admit, teaching is a very difficult job.
You complain about people with other degrees teaching. Why? You quit and took a job in a different career field you probably don’t have experience in too.
@@d.hamilton1282 No not the degree part, schools are now putting whoever in a classroom even if they don’t have a degree. I’m saying the system is messed up because they don’t wanna hire you because you’re too over qualified if you have a degree and a masters degree. But complain there’s a shortage of teachers. Then some are under qualified with a few years teaching and still cannot get into a good teaching position. Now, it’s just putting a body in a room with students to be basically a baby sitter is what it comes down to now. And no I didn’t quit I was asked not to come back next year because of conflicts with the principal.
Teach for America is complicated and they don’t offer much help finding a job. Student teaching is why a lot of adults don’t try teaching especially single ones. Few people can go for months without benefits or pay.
Trust me…it is not worth it. Teaching is not going to change. It has gotten worse every year. You are out of it and now you can find a better career option that might mean working with kids but in a different way. Tons of better options. I am barely going to make it to through the rest of this week because I am a teacher and I honestly feel like my mental state is in question every time I say, “I am a teacher “ because this is not how I saw my career going. I know I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t close to the end - and I still might not make it.
You took all the words out of my mouth. I'm meditating on leaving teaching this year.
So glad I'm out of the teaching profession. There are numerous reasons as to why. At the top of the list: The collapse. Not just of education, but society as a whole. You youngsters mark my words: By the time your kids hit school age, a free and fair education will be neither.
Yup! Attack on the foundations of democracy: poll workers, health care workers, news paper workers. Its the cultural war gone mad!

Blessings to you.
Best of luck to you. Honestly be glad you’re out of education.
Definitely sue if you completed the whole contract and they deny the summer pay you earned
I did get the summer pay at least but yeah I think it’s a lil to late to do anything
Public school has gone insane - for a variety of reasons.
Yep, it's walking on egg shells every minute of the day!
Why would you like that coming up in the 1960s? It was a lot different than it is today
Why is that?
Definitely worth a lawsuit: you should be able to sit if you have an ankle sprain
Paying for certificate is a scam
Dude, I am so sorry. I’m a high school sophomore
This is the lowest point I've ever seen my old math teacher and didn't know math💀

*you don't have to worry about ANY parents or ANY principal
It's only sustainable in union states with tenure
Im thinking of letting go of the job its a good job but the money ain't it
I guess it depends on the school , for standing your feet your entire shift
Do you know how to weld welders make good money been one for three years now

Why not put you with a mentor teacher, or send you to workshops conferences on your subject area?
@@JonnyBTalkscharter schools suck. Teachers have zero rights as workers.

Your let go was personal for your admin.
Absolute nonsense. The reasons are beyond absurd. Someone didn't like you. I taught for 32 years and never heard such nonsense.

School's out for summer, school's out for ever,...
We've got no class,
We've got no principals....😅
We can't even think of a word to rhyme.
It's worth the education degree BA/BS and MA/MS in blue states where its competitive to get the job, but not worth it in RED HAT states
Money doesn’t change anything. Still have the same problems and high taxes.

They didn’t like you, didnt think you taught well. They’ve used these reasons as excuse. If they wanted you to stay they would’ve made it work.
what state is this?
Ohio
You sat down. You are not allowed to sit down? And you were suppose to but the dumb book.

@JonnyBTalks do you find programs like Teach for America a bad idea? Genuinely curious of what teachers with an education background think of this.
Teach for America is complicated and they don’t offer much help finding a job. Student teaching is why a lot of adults don’t try teaching especially single ones. Few people can go for months without benefits or pay.

@ you got this! And appreciate the comment. Most people do t know what it’s like to be a teacher. And what it entails.
