Has your school enforced a no phone policy? Are students hooked on recording pranks or your reaction trying to make you lose your temper just for likes?

So many is an interesting term. Although they make headlines because news always wants the worst to make money. It does suck that it happens even once though. My guess is these people never developed past a certain stage in their own minds- hence returning to where they feel comfortable- and sickeningly act on immaturities that are lying dormant. Schools should do a better job of psych screening than they do.

Valid, and tbh I didn’t think it happened often but I get a ton of news related things on Facebook these days I guess because I don’t do any posting or liking so my algorithm sucks but I swear every week I see a case of it. And of course when it’s ladies gross men saying where was she when I was in school.

As the adult in the room, no. However as a person it is always an icky feeling. Admin is helpful in this area actually!

I found many of my gifts had very practical use in the classroom. The biggest of which was patience and secondly understanding, which allows me to express complex ideas in a variety of ways since all students learn differently

That policy exists but they still have them. No recording pranks that I know of!

You can choose to take ten months of pay or twelve months of pay. Doesn’t change the overall amount but just how much you get monthly. Most opt for twelve
