Like I said before - don’t let them dull your sparkle! YOU do YOU BOO ❤❤❤I’m telling you - we are work besties and we don’t even know it yet!! Again- I was so engaged in your vlog- laughing, replying, and totally agreeing with you. Keep shining like the rockstar you are!!!
❤❤❤❤
You're the best!
I wish we worked together! I don’t blame you- don’t do ANYTHING that you don’t want to. These administrators get out of the classroom and forget who they once were- teachers. I agree with everything you said- a focus wall is NOT going to change those state test scores. They just need to stop with their shenanigans!!! I enjoyed this!!!
LOL you sound like me with what we have to have hanging on our walls for the IB Program 😂 Like... _"Y'all, imma put that up but I need to have a Word Wall -- middle schoolers can't even spell 'student'!"_
While I do think that students/ observers need 1 place where the general info is held, uhhhhh... _"You gonna help me put that up or nah⁉️"_ 👀
Exactly.
Thank you. We should start our own school!
@@Teachingonsunshine Yes we should. My sister teaches 3rd grade in Philly and she says that to me all the time. We really should.
You are the REAL DEAL! 😂😂😂😂 You had me rolling the whole TIME. I love what you said to the Admin. They definitely have forgotten they were teachers at one time.
Keep the vids coming!
Thank you.
I admire your strength!🌟💕
Thank you for keeping it REAL! This is exactly what happens in the real world of teaching and it is tough to go through. You just keeping being YOU and YOU are an INCREDIBLE TEACHER!
I appreciate that!
I love how you are so honest and open about things when it comes to education!!! All the powers to be think they know it all and dicate all we do(when were they last in a classroom?!) They need us(who are professional)do our job. It's like everyday we do all we do and they keep asking for more. Alicia from CT
Thank you
💯 Girl this vlog had me cracking up because this is so me! I agree with everything you said!!!!!
Please don't feel bad for them, I don't. If they do not bring anything, they can do an individual project at home.
@@Teachingonsunshine wrong reply friend…I agree with you 😂
At the school I work for we can’t really use food as reward or punishment because it might cause food insecurity complex in some children, especially those with food issues at home. By food, I mean things like cookies, cupcakes, popsicles, or in this case Chic Fl-A.
However, a piece of candy, small toy, or a sticker can be earned.
I would rather have the treats to myself, AND DO! 😅 But I'm also reminded of the resemblance to training domesticated animals...
I'm guessing your school provides all rewards then? They get small rewards ALL THE TIME. The big item showed I meant business and I got my point across to them AND their parents.
I’m cracking up about the classroom observation shenanigans. I love your classroom style. I need that math word wall.
I love it all! You are so on point with everything.
Thank you so much!
You are a awesome teacher
❤❤❤ You!!! So Proud of your STRENGTH!
Thank you
Love It! Very reason I left after year 32. Do not have the energy or motivation to deal with the bull from uncooperative students, parents, and definitely admins on some type of power trip anymore.
You're a rockstar for making it 32 years!
I love your videos! You have inspired me to speak up more for myself. I feel like I’m being micromanaged also. I am a teacher as well. I switched districts this year, and these people are trying me. I can’t wait for your next video. 🩷
Yasss!!! Speak up! A closed mouth doesn't get fed.
I’m doing all I can to push through all the changes that are coming that I’m doing what I’m instructed to do but others don’t want to. Praying I have clarity of what I should do in the future.
Do what's best for you. Forget what others are doing.
@@Teachingonsunshine thank you my friend. I’m looking to enroll and start to get my master’s degree to be a librarian. I’ll still be able to teach but out of the drama that is going on.
Always keep a copy of your schedule on your parent info board or on any wall.
@@Here2There-1 That's not in my contract. I'm not keeping a copy of a schedule that's printed in my planner and I wear on a lanyard.
@@Teachingonsunshine , I like that you are strong, but try not to get on their bad side. They might turn against you. But it’s good that you are documenting everything.
@@Here2There-1 If I get ok their "bad side" I'll file a grievance with the union and stop doing the other 5 jobs I'm not getting paid to do. I'm not a rebel, I just refuse to be taken advantage of.
@@Teachingonsunshine , good that you are part of a union!
Idea: have your kiddos vote between two flavors of ice cream. They all get the winning flavor (one with the most votes). You can have a ballot box or a chart. Whatever is easiest.
I need to work with you ! We are so much alike! We have wonders too . I hate it!! My kids are struggling with reading those books
We do need to work together.
You made me laugh so hard!!! The bad part is that everything you said is 100% correct about micromanaging and them asking for ridiculous stuff. Treat them like they are gifted??? These kids are like two grades below!!!
Thanks for having the courage to say no. I always feel like I'll be fired for not following their expectations, but I'm also to the point that its impossible to do it all so i have to choose where my priorities are. We have a new admin team and they want to implement so many new things at once, and I'm just sitting here saying ive had a new AP every year I've been here. How long will they really last? Theres a Halloween door decorating contest that I'm really thinking about not doing because where do I find time?
Also I'm newer here. What's DI that you keep mentioning?
DI = "differentiated instruction" (typically)
Baby Girl, don't let them steal your joy! Remember your Why! You got this. I'm gonna inbox you my number 😅.
I won't
Ask them if they’re going to pay you overtime if you take extra time to put up a focus wall.
If I was paid, I still am not going to do it.
Sadly, low-income, overworked and/or unmotivated parents need several reminders about bringing in supplies for projects. I feel bad for the kiddos who didn’t bring in the shaving cream for your slime project…sometimes it is not their fault.
They do not have to participate in a class project. They can do an individual project at home.
I love looking at your video. You are usually so sweet, but admin got on your last nerve😜😜. Where do you get your ELA anchor charts. How big are they.
It depends. Majority of them I make. Others are from TPT. If you have a specific one you see...I'll send you the link to where it is.
Please don't let admin at your building get you down 🤠👎🤠.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
THEY MESSED UP MY PRINTED SCHEDULE, TOO 🙄 They messed up so bad that they're adding a whole grade of students _(I'm a specials teacher)_ that I asked about several times when I first got it.
And when they confronted me about something that happened in my room, I asked them what their school policy is. They were like "Well, it's up to each teacher to give & enforce expectations, even to paras" 😒 THAT DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!
These Black school admins be ON 1 -- they don't support us adequately, yet want us lying on their behalf in these district admins' faces. I'm new to this school. They don't know that I burned that cape 2 BURNOUTS AGO.
Good for you! You got this.
lmao "I'm not doing that."
that's what I been saying this year. "I don't want to do that, but nice idea."
My walls are completely blank. I don't keep anchor sheets up cause I realized the kids don't even use them. when I want them to reference somethign I put it on the main screen and they reference it. and my kids are doing great. If it's working, don't ask me to change. Clearly the kids area working! stop micro managing me and find something to do! The micromanaging is so crazy this year. I do so much and buy so much for my classroom. But they will nitpick the shit out of you!!!!! Like ok you did ALL this shit but can you do this super tiny thing like no. it's the principle.
Try not to have an attitude over the kid who doesn’t log into his computer correctly. Some people, even adults, are not computer savvy. Maybe watch him log in next time just to make sure that he doesn’t miss any steps.
@@Here2There-1 I have been with the student for 7 weeks. I know exactly what he was doing. It was an iPad, not a computer. The iPad saves all passwords. I gave him an iPad because I was tired of the drama with him and the computer.
@@Teachingonsunshine , ask him where he is having trouble. Tell him to show you step by step. I remember having to use Welligent for an administrative job I used to have. I was the only one in the entire office who had trouble with the program. I tried really hard to understand how to use it to schedule meetings and print reports, etc, but it was impossible. This caused a lot of tension at work so I left eventually.
@@Here2There-1 I'm not asking him anything. We teach two different t age groups. At 8 you're supposed to be independent. I have a student with special needs that can do it without a problem. I'm very accommodating. I have made log in cards for all 17 of my kids because of him. I've given him access to my iPad. It's amazing how he can get on Roblox and Minecraft without a problem. When I told him that he would be taking that test during PE miraculously the iPad worked and he finished the test. I do not play with my class as I've mentioned before. Do my work on my time or do it on your time. You pick.
You are PREACHING! Focus Walls are tedious and these kids do NOT interact with it no matter how much they want to claim they should.
Omg!!!! I feel like I got a shoutout! 😆 I was the subscriber when the F bomb was dropped! 😆
I actually teach 3rd grade too! I’m cleaning my room and listening to you vent and I’m like “Mmmmhmm, tell them for us new teachers!” 🥲
Hey girl!
