I would support the student any way I can and connect them with other systems of support.
ask
what do you do if a student emails you saying they’re having trouble with suicidal thoughts? (yes i just did that and i’m worrying what kind of reaction i might get)

I have reason to believe that my physics teacher is taking alcohol to school and drinking during school hours. Should I report this?
That’s up to you; what do you feel is right? You could try sharing your concerns with a teacher you trust.

I don’t know if you have seen this video ( it won’t let me put the link) if you go on youtube and look up ” What students really need to hear ” it should be the one by Chase Meilke, but my principle showed my class today and i thought i would share!

I want to be a teacher but I’m naturally a shy and reserved person, Any advice on teaching or public speaking? Do you think introverts can be teachers and can you relate? Btw I LOVE this blog, you’re awesome ❤️
Don’t we have introverted students? They need connections too, so of course we need introverted teachers! You will find what works best for you and your classes, and things get easier over time.

Is it weird to see a teacher as a mother figure? My own mother is well… not a mom, I don’t want to go into detail. But I have this one teacher who I have a bond with and I see as a mom and is that well, weird? Also since you’re a teacher do you actually genuinely care about your students or do you care when they go through hard times or are dealing with rough things like do teachers actually mean it when they tell us they’re there for us?? I’m sorry I’m just curious.
Of course it is okay to see teachers as a mother or father figure. Bonds of support are natural to happen between teacher and student. I have worked in low-income areas where I know for a fact I have had a stronger bond with the students than they had with their own families. Teachers are there to support students in all aspects of life in whatever ways they can.
I definitely care about my students; I have given out my personal phone number to a homeless student who might have needed help over Christmas break before. This student behaved terribly in class, but I knew what was going on and still cared for them, and wanted them to be safe.
