My principal’s last weekly email had that quote “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” I was like, oh girl, I’m smiling because it’s over and crying because it happened.
The turning in of the technology when it is still needed to complete tasks is 100% accurate. Two years ago they asked us to return laptops, pack up our document camera, and turn in our promethean remote and pens 2 days before the last day of school. They then lectured us about the importance of teaching until the bell rings on the last day, remembering to keep the students actively engaged! They also didn’t want them just doing busy work...go figure 🤷🏻♀️😆
That’s bad! But I MIGHT have you beat my classroom was going to be repurposed for another grade level the next year and the kindergarten room (mine) was being transferred to a larger space. The last week of school they took all my board games, blocks and crafts and 5 of my 8 tables as well as the chairs and couldn’t figure out why I stopped teaching and just let the kids have movies to and unlimited recess for 4 days 😂
@@anonymous01792 That totally beats mine! 😂 but it did remind me of the year our district decided to paint our classrooms and replace the carpet...3 weeks before the end of the year. My co teacher was out on bereavement leave so I had to completely collapse the classroom with only a days notice and move down the hall for a week...during report card testing...with Kindergarten students who had never ventured to that part of the school and kept getting lost in the mornings! (Even though I told them AND parents to wait by our classroom and we’d all walk to the new room together) I figured then if I could survive that, anything else was smooth sailing. Boy, I never saw 2020 coming though! 😂
Our high school librarian was super cranky! I once checked out a book in HS. The librarian told me I was the only one who’d ever checked it out and I was one of a few freshman who checked out a book that year from the library. I was one day late in returning it. My fine was either $10.00 or 4 cans of food. 😳😰 I paid the 4 cans. Not sure who it went to, but it was green beans, so I didn’t care! I never checked out another book from the library at school. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh God. I was a library aide senior year and they made me call the parents of the kids who had outstanding books. That was awkward for a seventeen year old.
I remember checking in books at my elementary school 4 years later I had moved to 2 different houses and a librarian was looking at me weird for having a 4 year overdue book
He forgot ‘be sure to have all grades and report cards done days before the marking period ends’ ? 🤷🏼♀️ without of course letting the kids figure it out!
Amazingly accurate 😆 I would save a copy of the previous years checklist and start early. Kids are great helpers with packing up elementary classrooms!
So accurate! Nodding my head because I recognized many of these. But he forgot the “please fill out the survey for next year’s teaching format because your opinion matters to us” sent out two days AFTER the school announced how we’re going to be teaching next year.
Yep. We had to jump through so many hoops: Emails, letters home, virtual conferences, phone calls. Then the promoted everyone anyway. Quite frankly, I couldn't care less, but I resent all that extra work and the stress of dealing with parents for nothing.
Yes I needed this. I'm so proud of your staff. They did not ding in for summer school. Lol I didn't either. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 y'all can have it!!! Peace of mind better than piece of paper and mental breakdown. Keep them coming.
Six emails reminding all the teachers of the extended extension to apply for summer school! Also, I reminders that we will have added pay which is not our normal rate of pay, it's professional development pay which is trash! All virtual teaching the same platforms that we do everyday now that the students don't even log in to do. It is hilarious! No one could possibly be that desperate at this point!
I taught school for 42 years and never got anything as useful as a pen for teacher appreciation. I did some years get cookies for Christmas. That was good.
Your 100% passing rate reminded me of what my school did in order to achieve the high graduation rate they constantly brag about. They switched to a block schedule where classes are only a semester long, creating a scenario where students can fail up to 10 classes and still be on track to graduate on time. What these students will do with their 0.96 GPA's when they're declared "not bright enough for the military" I'll never know, but they sure as hell graduate!
Thank you again for those funny end of year comments and ( unfortunately )somewhat true rendition of the last day of school. You made this past year tolerable as a teacher- thank you for the laughs!😊
Oh ah will you look at that! 100% passing! We did it again! Lol, true true! The hoops you have to jump thru what with the make up packages/credit recovery work/countless documented “outreach attempt”, fuggetabatit, little 19 yr old Shamer is now earning a passing grade in beginning art.
End of the year checklist submitted this morning. What happened at 2:53 happened this morning during the last staff meeting. Luckily it was virtual and I was muted! rofl
Back in the day, I had a struggling student who I didn’t think should go up. So I asked about the process of holding them back. Turns out I would have had to fail them at Easter - so like 8-10 weeks after they started school for the first time. Ridiculous! No wonder you get kids who are chronically struggling!
Oh man this guy is so dang cute. There are people who are so attractive that even when they are acting stupid they are still drop dead gorgeous. This guy looks like a young version of Mister Kristopher.
We work a week past the kids finishing (cleaning, closing out paperwork, etc.) so no worries about teaching until the bitter end! Also, we don't have to turn in stuff that we will be using again next year, so we have that going for us.
What the heck are end of year checklists? Didn't have those in Ontario or Quebec. Most I remember was to make a list of my equipment but I doubt anyone really did it cause no one asked to hand it in.
We have a list of reminders of things to do before we leave for summer. Mostly prepping the room for the custodians to be be able to drag everything into the hall.
Why on earth are there close to 3k students in one school? That is objectively way to many people, if the students lived there we would consider that level of overcrowding a form of absolute poverty, break the school up a bit for goodness sake.
