Schools were not meant to be like Walmart.

Anything you need...Walmart has....lol. Walmart does what it does very, very well.

Schools, on the other hand, are not equipped to be a one-stop shop: Education, Sports, Social Emotional Health, Physical Health, Counseling, Social Work, Nutrition, Etiquette, Medical Services, College placement, Entertainment, Parenting, Job placement, Community Involvement, Internship, Safety, and Mentorship.. The listed items are just a fraction of things schools are trying to provide with minimal success.

Opinion: Do 1 or 2 things very well.

Offering a service just to list it on your District homepage is clever marketing. Nothing more.

I’m tired of this.

Firstly let me apologise if this post isn’t exactly suited to this subreddit. I’ve just had an argument with my mother and I’ve realised how poorly set out the education system is. I’m expected to sacrifice the time of my life where I learn who I am, what I want to do and where I want to go, just so I can live a bearable life in the future, just so I can pay taxes towards an institution that -particularly at the moment- doesn’t care about me or my future. I’m expected to sacrifice my childhood and now my teenage years, the years in which I should be discovering who I am and spending time with my friends, just so I can hopefully manage as an adult permitted the government manages to keep itself and the country stable -which it’s also failing at might I add-.

It just baffles me and I need to see if there are any likeminded folks out there who also think that the education system is incredibly flawed and to a degree unfair, regardless of how important it may be. Thank you to those of you who read this.

Ap or Dual Credit?

now what do I do?

I live in the USA.

This was my first year teaching. I spent 2 years as an IA and after my first I wanted to purse teaching, so in my second year of being an IA I started to get my Masters in education. I am halfway through my masters degree and have my provisional license in FAC's, but now I am unsure I want to even bother finishing up my degree and continue in education.

To explain, the job I have I took because I was desperate and so was the principal. It is not a FAC's position, and instead is ECE. However, I knew I could do it because of my background. Starting off things were really funky. They threw me in an off campus classroom with no support and told me I was not allowed to make peer relationships with the other teachers at the off campus location because the "program wasn't ready to make those connections yet". I was left to drown, but I did my best to swim instead of sink. I got started on the curriculum before I was hit with another slap, I had to teach something else before I could do the curriculum. Okay sure, roll with the punches. THEN after I finished up that, they told me that I had 9 weeks to teach a whole school years curriculum (wtf right?). But I said, I'd do my best and got started. This is when I should mention I was due to have a baby in December- which they were told ahead of time- and the stress ended up being so bad I was put on medical leave due to high blood pressure. I was assured my lesson plans would be heeded because they had found a competent sub. That was obviously a lie. I just returned at the beginning of March and just this past Monday I was served a "non-renewal". I spent a lot of time feeling like they were trying to push me out even though I was trying my hardest to teach what they wanted and how they wanted. Any advocating for my students or myself was met with a brick wall, but I chugged on.

Now I am dreading the call from HR that will tell me my contract is being revised to end at the last day of school (I am a 12 month employee)-can they even do that?- and I'm not sure I want to even bother trying to find another teaching position as I feel like that non-renewal is going to be a permanent stain on my teaching career.

Is there life after non-renewal? Should I bother trying? What options are there really for teachers that leave teaching that still make money someone can survive off of?

TL:DR: I bent over backward for this school and they slapped me with a non-renewal. What can I do now?

Pls help me out. I'm torn between taking a new bachelor's degree, and taking a master's that is of a different field from a degree I graduated from.

I graduated in BS-Interior Design, but now I'm planning to study again but abroad, choosing between Canada or New Zealand. However, I wanted to study a digital marketing degree which is a completely different field from interior design, and as I looked it up, it would take me another 3-4yrs if I took a bachelor's.

And then my friend told me why don't I just learn the basics of marketing through free online courses for a few months and then take a master's in marketing, and it would take me just 1-2yrs to finish than that of bachelor's which is 3-4yrs. I told her I don't think free courses would be enough for me to get a grasp of how digital marketing works and I fear that taking a masters without that foundation would cost me later on.

So far my main concerns if i were to take master's are: 1. What if employers prefer hiring someone with a master's who graduated from a bachelor's of the same field.

1. It's true that it takes a shorter period of time to finish, but I'm not sure if taking it without the necessary foundation would be the all right.

Can anyone please give me advice for this? I'm considering my friend's advice, especially because of the pros of having a master's degree(higher salary, shirter period etc.) but I'm hesitant to do so since I feel like I'm not cut out for it

I do not understand this and I hope someone can clear this up for me. My final class ends June 9, 2022. My university is saying that my degree will not be posted until August 31, 2022 as long as I meet all the major requirements. Does that mean I have to wait 2.5 months for my degree?

If that is the case why do I have to wait that long? It takes 2.5 months to acknowledge I met the degree requirements???? Why can’t I get my degree like June 30. I mean 2.5 weeks is reasonable.

is our education system too far gone?

The sheer amount of restructuring that needs to be done is ASTOUNDING.

we have over worked, over stressed teachers. getting under paid and assaulted by students / parents with virtually NO WAY to respond that doesnt get them fired.

First, WHAT SHOULD BE EDUCATED.

- the laws of the country. should be studied every year in high school. The amount of people who take advantage / get taken of advantaged of because of ignorance to the law is incredibly high.

- taxes / money management / personal finances

- Math and science need overhauling. there should be an additional / new course that teaches how these things are / can be applied to every day life. Yes, bleach bad. But lets go beyond that sentence and teach everyday ways it can be used and also teach the ways it should be avoided to be used and such and such. Also Math is an extremely useful tool for traveling when applied correctly. Ive used math to guesstimate to within minutes when i'd reach my destination (of hours long trips) with how much gas id have remaining / etc.

- SEX ED / mental health EVERY YEAR (or every other year) from 6-12 (mental health should start at kindergarten tho). THIS PLEASE. Children are confused, and many of them have parents who REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT PUBERTY.. because its gross. Seriously I know parents need to do more but some of them are mentally incapable of it.

- time management

- mandatory cooking / house cleaning classes. People need to know how to take care of themselves.

- more engineering / computer science classes.

- LESS GEN ED classes (let me explain). for ex History is a great tool to the past, provided the contents havent been manipulated / changed to better suit a political agenda. But a lot of the same crap gets regurgitated EVERY year in K-12. Same thing with English and other classes. If someone finds they have a huge passion for history, let them choose to study it as en elective or pursue it in University. I think time should be better allocated to more urgent needs in education in K-12. start teaching history in like 4th grade AT THE EARLIEST. use those for years of development for better classes. Like mental health and such. honestly aside from math and reading and basic scientific concepts like : fire bad / don't jump off the roof / cars vs human is not a good idea. Children should be studying more fundamental things that make them better little humans and not tiny pieces of shit.

secondly, and just as important. MORE TEACHER RIGHTS.

Teachers, imo should be able to tell a shitty parent that they are a shitty parent and need to fuck off. Perhaps in a gentler tone. But a teacher should not be reprimanded for EDUCATING a parent.

They should also receive more help. and more pay.

Not much else to say on this i guess. Many teachers work hard to raise the next generation of humans and get peanuts for their effort.

​

there are a more that can be said but this sums up my general feelings.

Research Comparing Schooling Methods

Hello!

I am new to this subreddit, so please direct me elsewhere if this isn't the appropriate community for this question.

I am looking for scientific literature that compares the outcomes, advantages, disadvantages, etc. of enrolling a child into various schooling systems (e.g., public schools, charter schools, homeschooling, unschooling, self-directed learning schools, etc.)

While I don't have children yet, I plan to in the near future (next 2-3 years), and I want to compare all of my options for education so I can make an informed decision. I was a public school child myself. However, I was also raised in a very rural community, and went to a small K-12 school where my graduating class was just 21 students. Therefore, I don't believe my public school experience is an accurate representation. Additionally, I grew up alongside many homeschooled students, all of which were extremely religious. If I chose this route, we would be a secular household.

Also, I live in Michigan, if that matters.

Anyways, if you know of any scientific research on this topic, please provides links or point me in the right direction! Additionally, if you feel you are well-read on this topic and are able to provide an unbiased response, feel free to provide a summary of what the current literature says.

Thanks a bunch! Looking forward to the responses.

Why are admin and strategic challenges in the education sector lesser-known?

When educators fail to communicate at work, misinformation, misunderstandings, and mixed messages can cause the system’s wheels to spin or come off altogether. Unfortunately, even professionals don’t always get it right. That’s why it should come as no surprise that administrators and teachers sometimes have difficulty sending clear messages. Even the best school leaders don’t always know the right thing to say or how to say it.

Help… student… confused…. ?

I’m British btw I am not a teacher, but I thought I should get a professional opinion before I go forth with anything. I, 16 year old male have come to the recent decision mid way through my first year of A-Levels. I wanted to find a university for me. When looking with a friend, as a joke he said “look at Oxbridge” with no intention for either of us to get in….. I read and I didn’t see any reason as to why I’m not eligible and now I am genuinely thinking of applying seriously. I did 15 GCSEs+ an early EPQ. I got 7A’s (counting EPQ), 2 As, 1 “7”, 2 Bs, and a C. For A levels, I’m doing Theology, psychology, drama, and English Lit. I’m doing well in eng, theology, and Psych, and am bringing up drama for mocks in two months…. Teachers and students of Reddit, could I realistically get into Oxford or Cambridge? Also, I understand a major problem in my story is the fact I did an EPQ in Y11. I get that this is not a usual case, but, during COVID, I finished my portfolio early, and was given the clearance to go through with it. My final problem is what would be stopping me now from getting into Oxbridge? I have 10 grades at A or A, a. EPQ done early, and I get that my A levels are undecided, but I wanted to know if I should stop trying this path already and it’s hopeless, or this is a genuine possibility and should focus everything into this?

Is it possible to reduce suicides by teaching paraconsistent logic in mathematics?

Cognitive dissonance is the reason behind some suicides. The person feel absurd facing reality very different from belief, and the peace of mind collapses.

In propositional logic, the observation of P∧¬P not only blow up one's belief of P, it also blows up the sense of life, and in some cases, their instinct of survival.

• What does it mean for your life partner to both love you and don't love you?
• What does it mean for the country to be ruled by both god and antichrist?
• What does it mean for everyone to have basic human rights, but your rights cannot be realized in real life?

Paraconsistent logic trains the mind to be not afraid of P ∧ ¬P , allowing the mind to have a relative healthy state out of the local ulcer of absurdity.

Let's come back to mathematical education. Lower class and poor people are both more traumatized by and more experienced in tolerating conflicts in life without actually solving it.

I feel it's unfair for them, that our mathematics education is based on fully consistent logic.

In many aspect of life, full consistency is expensive both mentally and materially.

If we allow P∧¬P in our mathematic logic, maybe inner city students can do significantly better reflecting on their life skills and experiences.

I want to teach but idk anymore

I’m going to be graduating this fall with a bachelors in educational studies. I originally went for early childhood education but my life hasn’t gone as planned…I’ve had kids while in school (due soon with my 2nd), had to deal with drama with my first child’s dad that made it hard to concentrate on school work, got a house, and working a job as a teachers aide. I was supposed to student teach this fall but I just can’t go months without pay with kids, a dog, bills, etc. My gpa is a little lower than the requirement but my advisor said they would submit an exemption form…turns out they moved my student teaching to spring without telling me and then said I’d have to pay out of pocket to retake classes. I obviously can’t do that either. So the only option I had was to transfer all my classes over to an educational studies major. I am so stressed and bummed about this decision but it seems like I have no other choice. I feel like such a failure. I want to still get my CE but I was wondering if my ECE classes and practicum hours would count towards any requirements/preparation programs for obtaining a CE? I’ve also been working in a classroom for the past 10 years. I would’ve only been able to get a CE if I completed student teaching anyway, once I transfer from my universities state to my state. I’m just confused with this process and would love any help I can get! (I’m in New Jersey btw)

Troubling allegations at a prestigious SoCal high school

I need to share this with someone. This kind of thing needs to be prevented at all costs.

About a year ago one of my old classmates at Mission Viejo High School in Orange County posted on Facebook that my beloved drama teacher, whose program was my entire life in high school, allowed her husband to groom her and sexually abuse her in 1996, when she was 15. They allegedly took her into their home, told her they were family, convinced her they were in a relationship, and put it in writing. She has receipts: love letters from my teacher's husband; letters from uncaring administrators who acknowledged his inappropriate behavior but explained why they weren't going to act; police reports.

The statute of limitations on criminal charges had expired, so my friend focused on sounding the alarm any other way she could: by showing up at school board meetings and telling her story. By calling education officials in Sacramento and getting his substitute credential revoked. By getting him banned from campus. Every few years she'd feel strong enough to try again, only to be discouraged when nothing changed.

Because he never stopped coming to campus. And he didn't care who knew it — he posted photo evidence to Facebook. And soon a generation of students had a Jim and Kathy Harris story: of students being taken back to their house and given alcohol and drugs; of kids being whisked out of town on field trips and groped; of inappropriate comments about sex; of students being filmed in various states of undress with cameras Jim had hidden around the house. And the most horrifying part of all of this: Kathy Harris still teaches there. She's the performing arts coordinator for the entire district. And she still lets Jim around her kids — I've seen video proof.

After I read my friend's Facebook post last June, I felt instantly that she was telling the truth. Jim Harris was always lurking around us, "flirting" with us, and filming us. But we were too young to know that this was a crime, because at 15 you can't consent. What's most troubling is that the Saddleback Valley School District didn't put a stop to this when it was first reported 20 years ago, and by ignoring this problem, they failed to protect generations of students. Officials told my friend that the performing arts program, which wins regional awards, brings joy to so many people and she should just let this go. But since the Facebook post, stories about Jim Harris's creepy behavior from current Mission Viejo High School students and recent alumni have poured out.

This is exactly what my friend, a very brave woman named Yara Wilde, had hoped to prevent when she first reported him to the district all those years ago. Out of options, she filed a lawsuit, and another one of her classmates has joined it, and this morning the Los Angeles Times wrote a beautiful story about it ("They were groomed and groped, but O.C. school 'turned a blind eye' for decades, suit alleges"), and I am so proud of her.

I wanted to share this with all of you because I can't believe this goes on, still. Not just the crime but the failure of trusted adults to stop it. And Jim Harris wasn't the only predator at my high school in the early 1990s — there were many others, but those victims (one of whom is a close friend of mine) don't feel comfortable coming forward yet. My high school is turning out to be the West Coast Horace Mann. And that is just heartbreaking. I don't want this to be what my high school is known for. But now I fear it will.

Another part of this that's hard to swallow: At the age of 44 I realized that some of the best years of my life were the worst years of some of my classmates' lives. This kind of thing taints your memories; you end up re-examining every exchange you ever had in the theater, in the drama classroom, on the field trip. Doing so, incredibly, has unearthed even more victims. I've mined my own past and found evidence of predatory behavior on the part of teachers.

That's right: The child sex abuse problem at my high school was so bad that I found evidence of it in old photos, letters, and video footage.

Don't let this be your school. There needs to be education around this. Something must change.

(P.s i know that each is different. I just want to know if they're equal in terms of "ranking")

Is it possible that I can make my F in science go to a C or a B with only 2.9 months left of school?

I don't know if im at the right subreddit, so if I am ill probably just delete this post.

I do tutoring once a week, but I think I should start doing it twice again like I did before. I've also been very stressed lately, and have been missing days of school due to personal stuff. I also plan to not miss so many days of school, which will probably help too.

Working & Student Teaching

Hi there! I was just curious to see if people worked while they were student teaching. If so, what kind of work did you do and how many hours on average? I’m going to be student teaching come next school year and am just trying to hear about other folks experiences so I can think about my own. I also know some colleges/universities are weird and tell their students to NOT work during this time, but that’s just not feasible for a lot of people.

Also, I am technically a non-traditional student (26 y/o & getting Masters with my initial licensure), so I’m extra curious to hear about anyone who’s been in that same boat!

Thanks in advance 😊

Highschool questions about gpa

Hello all,

Currently I’m a sophomore in highschool. Last year it was virtual and I didn’t do to well, my gpa being 2.8 unweighted and 3.5 weighted. This year I’m taking 2 ap classes both graded on the 6.0 scale, does anyone know if I have a 90 in all seven of my classes ( including the ap ones) what would be my final gpa for this school year ?

“College ready”

When schools use this term, why is it always to justify something that the students really dislike or something that isn’t best practice for that age?

I want a school that gets kids “college ready” but only making them take 1 or 2 classes a day. The rest of the schedule can be filled in with leisure, social, or choice time. Teachers could even help younger students plug in things like 20 minutes of reading or studying math facts or whatever they may need to improve test scores. School campuses could be much more “college” ready too by adding things like walking paths, common areas, and other environments suitable for their development.

Forcing kids to take 6 classes sometimes with 6 different teachers with 6 different sets of expectations while only being required, sorry demanded, to pass a test loosely based on 2 of those classes that no one can see before or talk about after and to stop each class at the same time regardless of momentum or group is not helping students become college ready in any way.

I was just told that I (male) could not work because they "Cannot have only 2 males supervise children"

I apologize if this is not the right place to post this.

Context: I pick up random shifts at a non profit art center in California (in addition to my day job at the public middle school), which I have done for the last 4 years. I was scheduled to work a "teen night” on April 1st, but was just told that I won't be able to because the other instructor is male and they won't allow 2 males to supervise the children without any adult females present. 2 female instructors is not a problem, however.

To me this feels like gender discrimination. I have worked in education for a decade and take my role as a positive, healthy male role model seriously. They have my fingerprints, TB test, and up to date personal info on file.

Any thoughts?

GOT SNITCHED

So we had this group chat with 11 (Majority are honor students) people in it that I TRUST. We would always rant about how much our school gives us things to do. It is also a GC where we have laughs by making fun and being angry with our teachers. A quick backstory for why I made this GC was because one of our friend also snitched on us so I made this GC without her. Going back to the current GC that I made which was made in Aug of 2021, we had this one friend that doesn't really talk a lot but we would always include him so he doesn't feel left out. Fast forward to Feb 16. We had a project where he was teamed with 2 other people in our GC, then one of them then asked me to kick him so I did since he wasn't bothering to help. Now March, after class one of my friends got a text from someone who works at the school that he did this and she did that so on and so forth. We found out someone had sent SCREENSHOTS OF THE THINGS WE HAVE SAID TO OUR TEACHERS AND IN THOSE SCREENSHOTS IT HAD you cannot reply in this message somewhere along that line AND THE ONLY PERSON WE KICKED WAS THE GUY! Now I don't know what to do, all of us left the GC, now im scared to go to class tomorrow. What should we/I do!?!?!?!?

Do you think students who are already fluent in 2 languages should have the option to automatically pass the second language credit and choose an alternative subject not related to language?

I'm thinking about this now in Iraq, where there are many many languages floating around. People spend too much time with language acquisition and not enough time with other subjects.

Is 2 languages the sweet spot? Then if the student wants to learn a 3rd language of course they would have that option. What do you think?

The 3.0 GPA requirement in grad school is bullshit

Let me get this straight. In graduate school, the work is more rigorous but yet students need to maintain good grades. In undergrad, a 2.0 is acceptable but in grad school, you need a 3.0 to stay in good academic standard. It was hard enough to maintain a 3.0 in undergrad. I worked my ass off in undergrad only to get a 3.2. Since grad school is more rigorous, why would we need to maintain a 3.0? Do you know how hard it is to maintain a 3.0 in grad school? I have a C in one of my classes and if I don’t get it up, I will get kicked out because of this C.

Teachers of Reddit, is my teacher allowed to grade a hw as a test grade without clarifying it before in class?

So basically what happened is we were assigned a hw and a few of us didn't do it and the teacher is now grading it as a test. I know it's my fault for not doing the work on time so I tried talking to him, but according to him, I've been playing games for the last few months which I kinda agree that I was to some extent. I know he may be trying to teach us the consequences of not doing the work on time and I definitely agree that we should have some consequences, but he's giving a straight 0 and won't even accept late work for partial credit. I tried talking to him, apologizing to him for my action, but he won't hear it. As I mentioned earlier I understand it was my fault and I should bear the consequences, but is he allowed to do that without clarifying it before in class? But if he is allowed to, I happily accept my grade. Maybe now I'll learn something and stop "playing games." I'm just too anxious that my grade dropped from a 94 to a 70.

He may be allowed, but I think it's just too cruel to do this. He may think he's teaching me a life lesson, teaching me the consequences of being late, but all he's doing is just stressing me out; I've just been beating myself up the last 2 days with the question why did I not do the 1 page hw. It's just stressing me out, I haven't been able to concentrate on anything for the last two days, every time I try to I just can't, I keep asking myself why did I not do it? I may do all his work on time from now on, but never out of my heart, but because he's bullying me to do so. I think teachers should have a friendly relationship with their students, not that of a bully. I really liked learning history (not really the textbook history, but random historical events), but now he has made history my least favorite subject. On the other hand, I really struggled with physics, but my physics teacher is one of the nicest teachers I've ever had and she made physics my favorite subject and I'm even considering majoring in physics in college all because of one nice teacher.

Once again, it was my fault for not doing the work on time and I accept the consequences, but teachers that pulls this kind of shit just makes the student lose interest in their subject and just care about the grade.

Sorry for the essay, I just had to let it all out.

I can’t believe I was taught that…

There is such thing as good stress.

Okay now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for accountability to deadlines and setting goals and achieving them in an appropriate amount of time. I just don’t personally see the need for teaching children that the negative emotion they feel, stress, is good because it makes you finish your work on time. To me, that feels like a very toxically capitalist sentiment: your value comes from your productivity, and if your stress increases your productivity, that stress is good.

Why not teach students that your mental health is always your priority? If you’re experiencing stress related to schoolwork or your “productivity”, that isn’t “good for you”. Like I said, you should be incentivized to meet deadlines and be productive and whatnot. But I don’t believe stress has to play a role in that. I’m currently an extremely busy fourth year physics major, and I meet all of my deadlines save for extenuating circumstances, but I don’t experience what I would call “stress” about finishing my assignments. I am motivated simply by the desire to be successful and hold myself accountable to deadlines. Why not teach all students to exist that way?

Thoughts? All opinions welcome!

What to do after college rejections?

Hi all, I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate (UG completed in 2021 with CGPA 7.45/10). In the final year of my undergrad, I became interested in fields like Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Robotics and Reinforcement Learning. However, being a newbie to these fields, I wanted to master's in these fields. So, after getting suggestions from my final year advisor, I prepared and gave gre (Q: 162, V: 149, AWA: 3.5) and TOEFL (104) and applied to the several universities in usa for fall22 with the program and professors of my interest. But due to my poor cgpa and different field, most of the universities rejected me. Although I had one research paper (related to PSO+Robotics), it seems like it didn't mattered much in my case. I am very eager to do research in the field of machine learning and robotics but I couldn't get a chance.

Getting a constant rejection has took a toll on me. Now I don't know what to do, or what I am doing, or was my decision of studying abroad even right?

So what should I do? Or what can I do?

Has the Dean ever emailed you regarding student concern

Hello:

I am an adjunct professor and today I received an email from the Associate Dean that said he wanted to meet with me to discuss a student concern and that whenever he gets a concern about an instructor that he needs to meet with the instructor to discuss it.

I am just really scared right now and don’t know what this means. I was a little taken aback to be honest as no student has ever brought up a concern about or to me. Students have mentioned that they love my class and I have managed to receive above 4.0 on my teaching evaluations so I don’t know what is going on.

I do know I have one class that has been an absolute nightmare to work with. Only about 5 of the 12 students show up to class, and I have never had issues with students skipping. I teach communication so the students that skip don’t show up to give their speeches or go to class in general. When I reach out the students never contact me and I have also reached out to their advisors who really haven’t been much of a help at all. I do send reminders about the importance of coming to class, including one a few days ago when again several students in that troublesome class did not want to show upz

I am so sorry to vent but this has been a nightmare for me as an instructor. I don’t know that this is what the concern is about but I have that gut feeling as the students that are skipping are failing.

I am just scared right now, I am trying everything I can as an instructor and students that do care mention about how they have never seen an instructor care about them as much as I have. I have done the best I can this semester and receiving this email from the Dean today makes me really sad and hurt and I just don’t know what to do. What if he doesn’t stand by me and sticks up for the students? Does this mean I am going to lose my job? How can I handle my conversation with the Dean, especially in regard to the class I am having difficulties with?

If you all would could you please share your own stories about the Dean contacting you about a student concern. I think this will make me feel better to know that I am not alone, I sometimes feel like I am the only one that has to deal with this being young and a woman too. I am just really lost right now and just need a little advice too.

How frizzy is too frizzy for school and is it ok to wear a fluffy ponytail daily for high school?

Hi. I am a sophomore in high school. I get teased for having extreme thick hair curly and down to my butt as a teenager male. I'm very self conscious and I've gotten teased in school for frizz. I use heavy hair serums and gels they do hardly anything. Deep conditioning only lasted a few hours. I don't use sillcones or sulfates and I need really heavy products cause I have no hold and my hair still goes poof. Since it is so poofy I'm working on embracing it but as a high school kid, how frizzy would you say is too big for school? I don't wear it in any style besides a ponytail unless I get it professionally straightened. Low porosity, thick, high density, 2C-3B hair. Thanks!

Student ID Barcode or QR Code Classroom Attendance System Advice

Does anyone have any experience with systems that would allow students to flash their student ID with a barcode or QR code in front of a barcode scanner or mounted phone/tablet in a classroom to be marked present for class?

Ideally we would like a system that could sync with eschoolplus attendance. Bonus points if the system could also allow students to scan as a hall pass to the bathroom/office etc.

I recently toured a school and saw a system they had and they said they had someone build it custom for them, but it seems like it should be a fairly simple system and something that someone would already be selling. Thanks in advance!

Looking for advice on getting an alternative license in Ohio

Hi friends, I graduated with an MA in History last summer and I recently started as a substitute teacher in November at a local elementary school and I like it a lot. I was considering getting an alternative licensure as an Intervention Specialist in Ohio but I'm not sure about it. I talked to another specialist at my school and she has an actual degree in the field and I'm worried I won't get a career going with just the alternative license. Has anyone here gotten their alternative license in some type of education field that can recommend doing it? I'm just kinda worried I won't make comparable money or have as many job opportunities as someone with a standard degree in the field.

My son scored 98 Percentile Ranking on Star Math test

My 5th grade (age 11) brought home his Star Math test score this week and the score was 1149 which it says is ranked better than 98% of all 5th graders in the nation.

We know he's a strong student and good at math, but we have never heard anything from his teachers about having extraordinary math skills, and we've never noticed anything that would indicate his math skills are exceptional (other than his Star rankings).

98 Percentile across the nation at anything to me seems special and something that should be fostered.

I am trying to determine how meaningful this Star test ranking actually is. Is this anything special, that we should definitely start to really try and foster? Right now we have him playing 4 different sports year round. He's never done any math or coding camps or classes outside of school.

Can someone help me understand if this test scores really means anything special or not?

Is a job in higher Ed the right path for me? If so, what paths should I be looking at?

Hi there,

So, I have worked in higher education as a student when I was in undergraduate for my bachelors in philosophy, minor in public relations. I was an academic coordinator for first year students for 3 years.

I am in school again for my associates in computer programming and I absolutely love programming but there’s something about being in higher education that I absolutely adore.

I thought of getting my masters in something, but that’s not something I need to figure out now. I’d ideally love a crossover between coding and higher education, but I’m not sure what options are out there. I am in touch with some of my instructors about this and another post within a coding sub just to get some different perspectives.

Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks!

The Scottish education system is a joke

Last year, exams were cancelled and instead students received teacher-reviewed grades, however people from low-income areas had their grades lowered. Attainment rates are the lowest in years. There was public outrage and protests across the country. So to help students revise, the SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) said they would send out resources to help.

A couple of days ago, the SQA released exam support materials for students. These were made to help students struggling due to the COVID lockdown. However, what was in them was basic 'read the question' and 'spell words correctly' so-called advice supposed to help senior phase pupils. There was no material that actually helped the students prepare. Teachers and students were naturally furious at this, having to wait months for help only to receive a basic pamphlet of babyish info that hasn't been repeated to them thousands of times.

This is a disgrace, the SQA and the Scottish government should be ashamed of themselves.

Music moment

Sad/Proud moment today? I think? It’s both emotions?

My prep time is right after grade 7/8 study hall. Normally no kids come to the band room at that time because they are eating and doing whatever middle schoolers do in free time (probs don’t want to know some of the time).

But today was different. I’m a new teacher and this was a first for me. A student came to the band room with tears in her eyes. She told me someone had been bullying her during lunch and she didn’t want to stay there. Now, this is super sad, but the fact that she chose to come to the band room made me feel proud about the atmosphere I have upheld in my room to make her feel that this was a safe space for her to come to. She told me she just wanted to be in that room and not talk about the bullying. She took some time to set up her stuff for band and then asked what we were doing today. I showed her some of the process of figuring out what to do for the next rehearsal and she told me about some of her favorite parts of our music.

She then proceeds to sit down at the piano and plunk around a little claiming she taught herself a little bit. I took some extra time to help her figure out a couple of things in piano (she’s a trombone player, not very good, but knows when something isn’t right, and has the tools to figure out the correct notes and rhythms.)

Anyway, by the time she leaves the band room for her next class she has a smile on her face and a little spring in her step. I hope all my students feel that I am a safe person to come to and that they are always welcome in the band room no matter what time of day and no matter what reason they have. #musicsaves

I’ve been thinking…

I’m pretty sure that most of us would agree that the school system in America is flawed in some way or to some extent. But I wonder why no action is being done. Sure, you can tell me people are lazy. Sure, you could say they don’t care. But I care, and I’m sure that many people do. I mean, it affects students every single day. We are talking millions. And mental health issues have sky rocketed. Teachers say they care too, and though we may not have as much power as the people above us, why don’t we try to change its flaws? This is a genuine question too. And what can we do about it? What can I do as a student? I want this to be better. I want there to feel like there is hope. From the perspective of a teenager, it feels like the world has been falling back lately. There are bills banning trans people for being who they are, bills telling people they can’t be gay, rules forcing dress codes strictly onto women’s bodies, and it all baffles me. These issues are some I’m most passionate about:

1. Students with different abilities are all thrown into one single pool with other students and capabilities and graded the exact same way. Sure, we SOMETIMES have accommodations like for those with ADHD or crippling anxiety. But what about changing the entirety of the student experience? It’s become normal to hear phrases like “I hate school” and “school is not fun.” This is normal. It shouldn’t be this way. What about student’s feelings and passions? What about learning and loving the process instead of choking down information? We are forced to go to school to learn about the probability of picking out two green marbles and one red sock, yet there’s a war going on in Ukraine right now that I learned nothing about from the school. Yesterday, in all those 8 hours of school, all I learned was how to use one single button on a calculator and deal with stress (caused by workload), yet I have a life at home that I can barely explore because of homework. I am forced to sit and learn stuff that my parents have already forgotten, yet I know where my happiness lies and I STILL can’t learn about that.

2. Schools were originally put in place to prepare students to become factory workers. The system hasn’t changed. We don’t know how to do taxes, we don’t know how to deal with social situations, we don’t even know WHY we learn what we do in school.

3. Our worth is dependent on numbers, on grades, on percentages. We are taught that “oh social media sucks, don’t look at the likes and followers and obsess over it.” But is school really much different? If we get a good grade, we are expected to keep it up. If we get a bad grade, we are told to keep up. It’s either good or bad. Black or white.

4. This will be the last point for the sake of time and for my sanity, but mental health. I can’t stress it enough. I was in and out of the hospital for two years due to mental health issues. I have a nice counselor but even she couldn’t prepare me for what was to come. Everyone treated everything the same. I can’t put into words how difficult it is to deal with the demons in your head while being forced to think about things that you have no care for. Wasting time away and replacing it with stress. It drains and it kills, it has made me stressed to the point where I considered stopping it. I want to give up every single day. And I don’t, because of the pressure.

This isn’t the way we should learn. We are born curious, kids are born curious. We need to fuel that and allow our individual brains to lead us on our own unique paths to our own unique destinations. I am at a loss for words now as I have exasperated myself in thinking about this. I want this to change. I want change, and I think it’s time we do something about it instead of just saying it sucks and then sucking it up. I don’t know what to do, but if there’s anything I can do about it, please let me know. And if you have any words of advice or wisdom I’d love to hear it. Thank you for listening. As a student, I appreciate it so much.

My KIPP Experience 10 Years Later

I haven't seen much on this thread about KIPP experiences, and most of what I see is almost a decade old, so I thought I would post my experience.

Why I Went to a KIPP

I went to a brand new KIPP school in 8th grade. They had bought (idk the specifics) a charter school in an urban area, and it was the first year they were in the city. I'm sure they were trying to figure out a lot of nuts and bolts, so I would attest most of my story to them just trying to figure things out. When I went, they were 5th-8th grade, now they have a much bigger building in the downtown area with extracurriculars and extended grades. I know this because I have family that goes to that school now.

Where I Was Coming From

At the time I was coming from a suburban school, I'm trying to be politically correct. But from the outside looking in basically I went to an all white school, where I was the only black person in most of my classes who excelled in my courses. The KIPP school was in a majority black area where crime was very bad even across the street from the school. Two very different landscapes, pretty much. I wanted to go to the KIPP school, because I had friends who went. It would have been my first time wearing a uniform since 2nd grade, I was fine with that.

The Curriculum Difference

First few weeks of school, it's apparent to me that my education in the suburban schools was much farther than that of this school. I can confidently say they were about 1 year to 2 years behind. My science teacher was teaching about solids-liquids-gases when I got there, and this was something I had already learned in 6th grade. I knew all the answers, and I distinctly remember my science teacher being "impressed". Personally, I didn't think it meant I was smart. I was aware enough that it was just because of the curriculum difference.

My Personality

I was also a pretty stupid kid in middle school. Getting in trouble because the class bored the crap out of me. Nothing crazy, just talking back here and there. I didn't do much of this in the KIPP school because those teachers were more "hood" I guess (at least for 8th grade), so they pretty much talked back before any of the kids got a chance. But honestly the set up of the KIPP school at the time, made it so students would get in trouble for so many other things.

The Points System

We had weekly sheets that kept track of our "points" and we would be deducted points for certain things. Not tracking (avidly looking at and paying attention) to someone who is talking. Chewing gum, using phone, not having your hands folded together on top of the desk at certain points when instructed, not having your right hand up during the pledge of allegiance, not having 2 buttons buttoned on shirt, not being in a straight line correctly when walking in the hallway. Lol, that one always got me because most of our class practically LOOKED liked adults, even me, I'm super tall. Just to have to walk in a straight line in such a small building, cracked me up most of the time. Lol, I vividly remember my math teacher docking points from this one girl who always got detention. 5 points like every time she coughed, it was crazy. They were dropping points like dollars. Class changes were instructed by the teacher, once the bell rang the teacher would make sure we got in a straight line, and basically "exchanged" us with the other teacher's class. Oh, and obviously we would get points deducted for the usual "bad" stuff, talking back whatever. If I can remember, if you got 20-30 points deducted you had detention, I think it was for the week of next week. I don't remember if it was for the full week but it was definitely for a few days.

The Woman Who Helped Me

I remember the first time I got detention, practically the whole school was in detention. Detention was held in the basement of the school. This was where lunch was also held, and any small extracurriculars, like dance. We had some teachers/admin left over from the school that got bought out, they were nice. Our vice principal was black, you could tell he understood that most kids were having trouble with the transition. I was going through a lot at home, so I was always going from one family member's house to another. A white woman teacher would take me home most times, which was super nice of her being as though it wasn't her job. I had to walk about a mile to school, so that's why she helped. I wasn't even her student. When I would get in trouble though, she would act like "my mom" basically helping me to understand, and she took me out to lunch a few times. She was honestly amazing.

HERE ARE TWO SCENARIOS THAT I REMEMBER VIVIDLY

1. One time the teacher that helped me a lot decided to take on an after school activity where the older girls in the school could learn about beauty and hair. We honestly didn't know crap about that stuff, especially when it came to benefitting us and not just some boy. She enlisted the vice principal's wife (a mixed black and white woman) to help since she was in the beauty field. THIS IS WHERE IT BECOMES IMPORTANT THAT I'VE BEEN MENTIONING RACE. I liked the presentation, but some girls invited their moms and the moms did not like that this teacher (a white woman) was teaching their daughters about makeup, but she wasn't really teaching tbh. It kind of made me sad to see them be so mean towards her, I felt for her, but tbh she didn't know that. I remember her asking me what I thought about her teaching, and I can at least recall that I didn't tell her it was necessarily wrong. That's one of the more sentimental parts of my experience.
2. Here's probably a more crazy experience that would tell you a bit about the structure of this KIPP school. I remember one time being sent to the office, and there was a girl getting in trouble there. Apparently she had really bad stomach pains. She had asked to go to the bathroom, and then like 20 minutes later her mom shows up. Basically our principal at this school was born and raised in the city but she was also a lawyer. She was a bit of a hard ass, and I believe she is still a principal at the school to this day. She was not black, but hispanic. She asks the girl "Btw, your mom magically shows up after you go to the bathroom. How did you contact her?" The mom told the principal that the girl used her phone. The principal basically said that's against the rules and slapped the girl with a 3 day suspension. Basically saying "Those sick days you thought you were going to get, they've just become a suspension, enjoy" I think she got a kick out of all the power she had. I'm 100% sure the girl's mom pulled her out of the school that day. I vividly remember her arguing with the principal saying how the girl has a phone for a reason, and the principal saying that the rule is to go to the office and use the phone. Which people were scared of doing because the principal's office was RIGHT behind the secretary's desk. LOL anytime a student went into the office she would be listening like a hawk. It was pretty intimidating.

All in all, I went back to my suburban city's high school after that. I'm pretty sure I don't have to illustrate the differences in too much detail, but basically I am grateful for public schools. In my eyes I believe KIPP ran in with the idea that children in Urban schools need discipline and then they can be successful. Personally, for me, that's why most of the black teachers left KIPP after that year because I don't think they could stomach that idea. Most of those kids were already very capable, they just needed a safe environment, not more rules to rebel on. After starting 9th grade back in the suburbs I was hoping the curriculum of KIPP didn't set me back. Thank goodness I had good rapport there, so they knew I deserved to be in honors courses. Public school was the best time of my life and I wouldn't trade it for any charter school.

Me Now

I ended up moving across the US for college, and living on my own eventually. I now work entry level in marketing for a big corporation. I don't believe the KIPP school helped me educationally. But to be fair, I don't think I was their intended audience.

OK just a bit of advice this is pertaining to education that students need to get outside of the classroom particularly from parents. If your student is about to graduate from high school and go off to college. It might

It might be a good idea to you as a parent to May be called around to a few of the local apartment complexes far enough away that they aren't in your immediate area like within 5 to 10 minutes but close enough that it might be similar to what your student might be living with housing wise when they are at school and then take your student who is about to graduate with you and just have them kind of lead the housing hunt... Step back as apparent and let them figure out exactly what to ask An apartment leasing agent, What's the average water bill the average electricity cost, Are there any police officers that live in the complex, Does the complex allow dogs what's the average price hike between year to year for rent what's the neighborhood like that kind of thing.... Or read the questions yourself but make sure your child who is the student hears what's here's what's being asked and maybe encourage them to ask their own questions and actually be part of the conversation that way they're familiar with what you need to assess with an apartment leasing operation and exactly how much it would cost along with what paperwork needs to be filled out...

And you can always then just not fill out the paperwork pretend one of the responses was a bit surprising to you and that you needed to take a look and consult with Someone else before you filled out any paperwork and then leave... Without making any commitments to anything housing related but it's a good way to give the student who is your child who will be moving out soon to go to college a good experience as to how they should go about investigating and searching for an apartment after they finish their year in the dormitories at their college... Also if your student is working while they are in high school don't just do their taxes for them the 1st time they have taxes that need to be done walk them through the process have them fill out the forms themselves or teach them how to do it that way when they go off to college they know they have to fill out taxes and have some basic knowledge both on how to rent an apartment and how to do taxes that's important life experience that you can make sure they get before they graduate from high school that way they have some basic building blocks on how to function as an adult outside of normal high school instruction.

Hello, Is it possible to go to University with only 2 GCSE’s and a level 3 qualification?

I only have 2 GCSE’s because I moved to England from my home country in the middle of year 11. I’m now doing Level 3 Health and social care. Can I go to uni with these or do I need to look into an apprenticeship?

K12 attendee Graduated 2014

I am an adult returning to school. Upon entry to a program as well as to receive financial aide, I will need to provide transcripts from a high school in which I cannot get a grasp of. I've contacted my former K12 instructors to no avail. The program is not online nor seems to be available anymore.

Does anyone know how I can go about tracking down transcripts from a program that slipped through time?

What is the best solution(s) that you've found to the problem of grades?

I believe I should premise this with the way I understand grading. Grades set out to accomplish the impossible. Try to think of a perfect evaluation system. It would be able to tap into exactly what you know. What is in your head would materialize in some form external to your mind. The grader would then look at the material you present and assign an appropriate grade to it. They would actually be able to bind the vastness of one’s understanding to a symbol.

But we run into several problems along the way right?

1. You don’t know what you know perfectly.

2. Even if you know what you know, you can’t present it perfectly outside of yourself.

3. Even if you knew how to do perfectly present what you know outside of yourself, the grader would need an evaluation system which could encapsulate all of that information inside of a grading scheme.

There are additional problems, but to summarize - the problem of grades is that they cannot encapsulate the understanding of a subject by a student.

I would appreciate any discourse and especially any further readings.
