No, I think that’s fine. If it distracts me, I would politely tell the student that I need to focus.
hey! i’m a student and i’ve been obsessively scrolling through your blog (which is great, btw), so i thought maybe you’d be the best person to talk to about my issues with class participation. i’ve recently been participating more and more in class these days, but insecurity still holds me back from saying something, and when i do, it doesn’t go as well as i planned. do you have any advice that might squash this?
Try to set goals for yourself each day, week, month. Just keep trying. You can do it!

I’m going to be a substitute teacher and was wondering if you had any advice. I’m 23 and look pretty young so my main concern is not being taken seriously even if I dress as an”adult”.
I started teaching when I was 22; I taught adults who were much older than me. Be professional and respectful, and they will see you as such.

I started following this blog when I was in HS, now I have friends who graduate in May to become teachers. Time has made me appreciate this blog and your humor more, thanks for keeping it alive!

Despite all the obvious things that make being a teacher hard and stressful, do you genuinely enjoy your job? Sorry, I’ve always wanted to know the teacher side of things😅
I love my job. There are frustrations with every job and making fun of them helps all of us through them.

I’m in my last year of high school and I just want to ask: teachers don’t mind speaking to students about personal matters, right. Especially when it’s a lot. I’ve had a very shitty year and I’ve constantly gone to this one specific teacher for help. And even though she said it’s completely fine and she’s always here to support me, I can’t help but feel like I’m burdening her or taking up too much of her time. I even told her this, and she said it wasn’t like that, but there’s still that feeling
Of course not! If it “burdened” them, they would tell you. I would think they would be happy you feel comfortable talking to someone.
