You could tell a teacher even just to talk out some strategies. If you don’t want their involvement, you can tell them, but it might be good to talk out the situation and what you would like to do.
I’ve been having some problems with some kids at school lately. I want to find a way to work it out with them but I’m not sure how. Should I tell a teacher or try and solve it on my own?

You talked about this in an old ask but I was wondering if you could elaborate on it. Do you have to/feel like you have to dress appropriately outside of school in case you run into students? I’m planning on becoming a high school teacher but sometimes I like to wear crop tops or short(ish) shorts (but nothing too ridiculous).
There is a line, but I think what you described is fine. I think it’s important for students to know the difference between school clothes and outside of school clothes.

I’m nearly finished the end of my course, and my tutors always say “to stay in contact” when I leave – but what does this really mean? I’d like to stay in contact, but how? :)
Just email them every now and then, every couple of months, with an update on how you’re doing.

When you are talking with a co-worker about another teacher, do you address the other teacher (the one you’re talking about) by their first name or do you all address each other by “Mr.____” or “Mrs.______”?
I usually address them by their first name, even in the hall in front of students. They (should) know we have real names, ha!

I attend community college. I’m an incredibly shy, socially awkward person who can’t handle the slightest bit of attention on myself (From turning red and swallowing my own tongue to full blown crying while frozen in place). I isolate myself in all my classes, but I love to learn. I want to participate, ask questions, and discuss things but I’m too scared. Instead I fall behind because I’m too focused on hiding from my professors. I don’t know how to fix my fear but I want to be comfortable.
Have you tried talking to your professors? Be up front with them about this. There may also be supports within your school to help you through your anxiety. I’m not familiar with community colleges, but if there isn’t any supports in your school, you may have to look for some on your own. Try to think of all of your educational experience as the participation part and that your challenge in learning is getting through that. Try challenging yourself a little bit at a time. Perhaps one day you make eye contact for a little bit and the next day you ask your professor a question at the end of class, and build from there. Good luck!
