I subbed for a 1st grade class and ended up getting blocked from that school.

I followed the sub plans and completed the assignments that were listed. There was also extra “busy work,” but the class was out of control the entire day. Students were not listening, going through the teacher’s belongings, getting on her desk, touching things they were repeatedly told not to touch, and the room was just chaotic.

The sub plans also said to put on a brain break from YouTube, but the issue is that brain breaks usually require students to get up, dance, and move around. Since they were already acting up and having trouble staying seated, I did not think it was a good idea to have them out of their seats.

Near the end of the day, after the required work was done, I put on arthur PBS educational show, so they would sit, calm down, and stop being so loud. It was not on all day. It was about the last 30 minutes.

Now I’m blocked from that school they also said it was because of bad classroom management but as a substitute teacher how tf am I supposed to control first graders I did the best I could children don't listen to subs and honestly this is exactly why people don’t want to sub. Schools expect substitutes to manage out of control classes with little to no support, but then they are extremely critical when the sub makes a reasonable decision to keep the room calm and safe.

Has anyone else been blocked, blacklisted, or banned from a school over something small or petty like this?

Where is this notion coming from? I was diagnosed with PCOS five years ago, and I was never told that I would never be able to have kids or it would be nearly impossible to have kids. I was told it could be harder to conceive/ get pregnant and that's just due to lack of ovulation caused by PCOS/PMOS but for the people who were told they would never be able to have kids or it would be nearly impossible due to Pcos when you were diagnosed the 90s ?? Were there other factors involved other than PCOS ?? Maybe like fallopian tube scarring??? ( nothing to do with PCOS) but I'm just wondering because this is not true at all

My district gets out June 17. I know it seems so late, but they have make up days due to the snowstorm earlier this year honestly, I'm excited and then I'm gonna be working at my summer camp job luckily I'll be indoors for it and taking a much needed vacation

Sometimes I sit here and wonder why doctors always give weight loss the solution to improve PCOS as someone who lost over 70 pounds currently 120lbs I still have the same problem I still have male pattern hair growth irregular periods fatigue and insomnia I don't know it just kind of pisses me off when the doctor tries to tell us women oh, you need to lose weight in that will improve your symptoms when it really won't maybe for some, but I'm just so tired of hearing that.

I’m currently in phlebotomy clinicals and I’m trying to figure out if this is normal or if one of my preceptors is just doing too much.

I have one preceptor who is helpful, professional, and actually teaches me. She shows me how to use the equipment, explains the workflow, lets me practice when it’s appropriate, and corrects me without making it weird.

But another preceptor has been making the environment feel uncomfortable. She’ll correct me once, which is fine, but then she’ll call me back over later and repeat the same correction again with extra commentary. It makes it feel less like teaching and more like she’s trying to put me in my place.

For example, the system/server went down and there weren’t patients for me to draw at that moment. A staff member was looking at the server, and I walked into the room to see what was going on. The server is in another draw room where patients also get blood drawn, so it wasn’t like I went into a random restricted area or somewhere completely unrelated to phlebotomy. My preceptor called me back and told me I didn’t need to be back there. I said okay and stayed seated. Then later she called me over again and repeated it, saying I don’t know the ins and outs of the place. I get that I’m a student and should stay where I’m told, but repeating it after I already complied felt unnecessary.

She also brought up a patient interaction from earlier. I accidentally referred to someone as elderly because I misunderstood the situation and thought a walker belonged to her. I meant it sympathetically, like older people shouldn’t have to work so hard. I apologized immediately, and the patient said it was okay. I understand I should be more careful with comments like that, but my preceptor kept bringing it up like I had done something horrible.

What bothers me is that this same preceptor has made personal comments and had personal conversations in front of patients about IUDS and birth control , so the correction feels hypocritical.

She also gatekeeps certain things from me. For example, if I ask whether a patient is okay with a hand draw, she won’t let me do it, but then she’ll go do the hand draw herself. Another preceptor allows me to practice more and actually teaches me through it, so the difference is really noticeable.

I’m not saying I’m perfect. I’m a student, and I know I’m still learning. I’m fine with being corrected. But I don’t like being corrected in a way that feels repetitive, personal, or like I’m being treated as a problem instead of a student.

Has anyone else dealt with a clinical preceptor like this? How did you get through it without letting it mess with your confidence?
