@MattLeinartQB So many games kids just immune to winning or losing. It’s just onto the next! It’s a racket. I ref these cash grabs and make a ton of cash from it though:))
@educator4ever36 Sports teams, music posters, variety of art - agree no politics and also yea keep family out of it. Maybe some art from your kids or a tasteful family portrait at your desk
@MrDanielBuck Lots of teachers struggle with basic management and quit before they ever develop leadership skills in classroom that would prevent the behavior. Or they just move to admin!
Yea I get that. I have taught twenty years, used to be a much harsher person and felt that same way. Wanted consequences! I’ve chilled out. For kids who hate school it’s just tough. Yea you want consequences etc but the kid probably has more going on at home than you can imagine. There for the grace of God go I.
To teach English you just need some engaging novels, plays and poetry. Classics work just fine. Kids need a notebook and a pencil or pen. We have really over analyzed it.
@educator4ever36 Don’t know how to use her skill set. It’s English class and she hasn’t read any of the books or stories we do. I handle class. She’s a nice person and helps where I ask.
