I get a new pair of "school shoes" every year to just wear for teaching. I teach band, choir, and now theater so I'm on my feet and moving A LOT, especially with my additional duties outside of the school day.
I wore Dr. Scholls last year and they were great but were dead by spring break and very broken down by the time school ended.
Recommendations for shoes that'll last the whole school year AND be comfortable?
Has anyone else noticed a trend with students that won't call you by your name? I teach high school but I have some MS colleagues who've experienced the same thing.
I'll get "Miss", "Teach", "Miss Teacher", or just a "Yo" or "Hey"
I'm not even someone who gets uptight about using my last initial instead of my full name (it's very long and can be difficult to pronounce) but they still won't do it. It's an across the board problem. If I'm with a colleague and a student is addressing one of us they don't bother saying who they're talking to and it's just kinda weird? And a little confusing?
Anyone else dealing with this?
