I’ve stopped answering work emails on the weekends. I almost never take work home with me, it stays at school. Am I ever completely caught up with everything that needs to be done? No. But I’m also not going to sacrifice my time with my family. I’ll get done what I can get done and the rest can wait.

@TeachersOffDutyPodcast 7 дней назад

That’s so good! 😃 Setting those boundaries are essential!

@victoriafrost5461 7 дней назад

I don't work in education, yet, I do the same boundary. It's not worth my mental health or time.

@TeachersOffDutyPodcast 7 дней назад

@@victoriafrost5461 Truth! 💯 Nothing is worth sacrificing your mental health! Good for you!

@alexasutton3837 7 дней назад

My teachers, this is coming from a student perspective, my teachers that don’t answer on the weekends have always been my favorite because if they can understand they need to have free time then they understand we need to have free time and usually give reasonable homework

My teacher will of it sometime that takes less than 5 minutes to do like if a paper assignment has been miss graded send a picture and the grade will be updated that day

I absolutely love this podcast. I am studying to be a secondary education Spanish teacher. I start my TA assignment next semester and I believe this podcast is helping me prepare. I love how transparent it is! Also I love when Tyler and Gabe are together on the podcast it is like my last two brain cells !!!!!

LOL 😂 well welcome to the greatest craziest profession! We’re glad you’re here! 🤗🍎

@TheQuietPartisLoud 6 дней назад

I quit teaching full time to be a sub. In our district, the difference in pay between a first year teacher and a licensed sub is almost nothing. My biggest problem was the ever inflating number of responsibilities, without thanks or compensation. It was like an economy of guilt built to see who could make the most compromises. Absolutely not, don't get coerced, set reasonable boundaries.

I think every classroom needs a safe, healthy minded volunteer to help the teacher and para-educator with any tasks that need to be done. That help does a great deal of good.

@juliehawkins5401 7 дней назад

Could you do an episode on specials (art, music, PE, library, STEM) teachers? I'm a first year elementary art/STEM teacher, but I've been watching this podcast for years. I would love to be a guest star on that episode, especially with Gabe, Tel, Lauren and Bri. I realize there is a very small chance of that actually happening, but an episode guest starring a couple specials teachers would be very interesting and informative.

@gretelcoverdale7785 7 дней назад

Huge yes to boundaries!! Boundaries on your time but also what you're comfortable with and what's good for your own health and safety. You mentioned with the coaching part about giving students rides home - absolutely not! Teachers, NEVER do this. It leaves you open to a situation where you are alone with a student in an enclosed space, not to mention a moving vehicle. What if you get in an accident? So much could go wrong...

I work at an online school and get 80 hours of sick leave and 60 hours of personal leave. My admins are amazing and always tell us to use our sick leave or personal for mental health.

@sabrinaduckworth9679 4 дня назад

My AP this year is creating bins for every grade for “emergency sub plans” that will have 3 days of worksheets for days you call out day of. That’s my back up back up.

@kathyotoole4608 7 дней назад

As a school secretary, it was my job to get classes covered if there was no sub, teachers who had IEP meetings, etc. I literally had to let the principal know what teachers often said no. I hated it and luckily I found teachers who needed the extra pay so would cover constantly.

Teachers need to stop giving up their free time for free or lowball pay. I was asked to write curriculum at my last school district. They were paying only $25 for something so complicated and creative. I told her I'd do it for $40, but she couldn't do that. The same district after I left, has forced PLC, but nobody is allowed to speak. You have to "internalize the lesson". They give you a form to fill out.

@GTbreezy007 7 дней назад

This was such a good conversation. I cringe when people say, “those who can’t do, teach,” and I’m like hmm no for some, teaching is actually their calling, not just a check (which usually isn’t a lot) and also, everyone has had a mentor or teacher in some way that has helped them along, whether it was inside or outside a classroom.

@TeachersOffDutyPodcast 7 дней назад

So well said! 💯 Thank you! 😊

@grandmasterturtle4754 7 дней назад

I work a full time job and our summer help is often college kids and teachers. I have worked with three teachers and some come back the next summer. Teachers are often treated like retail workers. Many people see them as their servants. These workers are essential workers. If people didn't want to be teachers your kids education is now fully responsible. If people didn't work retail/food service, you as a consumer are not going to have your stores for clothes, groceries, dinners, coffee, etc. If people took half a second to put themselves in those workers shoes and had a sliver of empathy there would be less of this "customer is always right" and "being a teacher isn't hard".

@MrMarohlsclassroom 7 дней назад

It is a lot easier to say no, unless there is no other option but for you to do it. I entered in last year into a two year instructional council position, and the only reason I had to get it was because the other two second grade teacher had already been it. can I also talked about getting Gabe and Tyler on the comedy tour? Think both of them would be funny, I know Gabe has already done it before.

@MagdielTrejo-s9v 7 дней назад

Currently majoring in education. Love watching/listening to this while I work on my work. It also gives me a laugh, and I find them helpful. Tyler and I are so similar because were both an ADHD mess. Keep them coming!!!

@Valkites 6 дней назад

I’m so happy I broke the habit in saying no when I really don’t want to do the task and I’m a big people pleaser 🤣😭. (I’m working on it) . I don’t take work home anymore bc I know it’s gonna be there the next day. I have to remember that it’s not the end of the world if I don’t finish it lol

@TeacherKellyTag 7 дней назад

I’m doing teaching as a second career and I could see myself wanting to do all these extra things if I had gotten into it in my 20s. I have NO desire whatsoever to do anything other than my job. I show up on time and leave right when it’s over. I’m a sped teacher so occasionally during the busy IEP season of the spring, I have to take work home but for the most part I try to leave it at work.

I love this podcast for a few reasons. As an Australian it's interesting to hear the differences in the US and Aus education systems. Also, it's wild how underpaid US teachers are in the public school system. I still can't wrap my head around no uniforms which as someone who went to catholic school was mandatory, that said even government schools at home require uniforms. Lastly, whilst id never ever ever and i mean ever want to be a teacher (no patience) at 46 i still call my high school teacher Mr V even though he says please its my first name. Great teachers never leave you and have the greatest impact. Side note i have a story..a teacher in my high school attended the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras which is broadcast on tv in assless chaps. He got fired 😅

My province in Canada has funding and heavily researched programs available for ESL supports. Not one of our school districts seem to make use of it. The teachers are put in this really awkward position where they have to teach the curriculum to kids who aren't fluent. I'm seeing it fuel the fires of xenophobia that are already alive and well. I keep hearing that translate into the sentiment "if we can't support immigrants, why are we letting them in?" Without realizing that the programs and funding IS there. For whatever reason it isn't being used. I know several people in education that are getting close to walking over it. It smells like that program funding might just be misappropriated. I've seen that done with other funding over the years. And it doesn't help that our current government wants to see the public school system fail, for political gain.

School districts in Arizona can hire ANYONE to be a teacher as long as they have a high 👏 school 👏 diploma 👏! BUT districts are still responsible for student growth, responsible for high graduation rate, responsible for high numbers of students passing state testing, etc. If this district has a majority of high school graduates working in these schools, that don't really how to teach high school science, or self contained SpEd classrooms. If there's no growth, schools will get a D rating, or F rating.

I'm a first year teacher in my mid-40's. My School is short a math teacher, so we all have bigger classes than we should, to keep mine from being unmanageable I agreed to classes all 6 periods instead of 5. Unfortunately that meant no planning period anymore. On top of that I have 2 meetings a week for each of the 2 subjects I'm teaching, 3 of those are during lunch and one before school, and I have a meeting with the new teacher coach once a week before school too. So, all my planning ends up being at home, luckily I get more done at home anyway, and my kids are grown, but I'm not truly getting paid for it. Next year, I'm telling them I will teach a single subject, and preferably no 6th class. The only reason I'll have summers "off" is because I can afford to take year-round pay instead of not getting paid during the summer.

@XcelesteXmagixX 7 дней назад

Did you get an extra stipend for teaching an extra class during your prep? We had a 6th grade teacher quit and my PE teammate shared that position with an interventionist. She was the teacher of record so they gave her extra money for doing PE and 6th grade social studies.

@bethl7399 7 дней назад

Bringing work home really depends for me. I will bring home work I like, or mindless tasks. Cutting out material I laminated, I can do that in front of the tv with no issue, but most tasks I leave at school now. Even if I bring stuff home, half the time I just don't feel like doing it and leave it. I do get to school early, mostly because I prefer to do stuff then and my commute can be anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes.

@paulabickerton1224 3 дня назад

Loved this episode- so many valid points! Re teacher of the year- in my district teacher of the year is a $2500 award. Unless you (like me) teach special education. Then you’re only worth $1000. Such a disparity that makes zeeo sense. Mayhap not “real teaching”?

@kr15242 День назад

The more I watch this the more I wonder why anyone would choose to be a teacher in America…. Also why on earth you all are still teachers. We should just dismantle our hopelessly broken public education system, privatize all education and give stipends to families to choose where they send their kids. You deserve better and so do the kids in this country.

@andre0baskin 6 дней назад

Unless you are member of a religious order, teaching is not a calling, it is a job or career. As such you need to establish boundaries or you will not last. Keep in mind that nobody will value your time if you do not value your time.
