I would just ignore him, honestly. It is too bad this happened, but I would remove all contact with him. You don’t need to deal with it, and he is acting very inappropriately.

You seem nice so I decided to message you. My old german teacher and I were chatting on facebook and he started telling me things like “I only gave you good marks bc you’re hot” or called me “mon cherie”. I told him I am gay and he was like “Lesbians are so hot”. I really don’t know what to do… (sorry, my english is bad) Should I message him and tell him the things he said are rude? I thought he gave me good marks because I deserved them..

I notice you teach high school english and history, and it’s what I’m heading into this fall after getting my major in history and minor in English. I’m so used to the independent learning, lecture style of my undergrad, I have no idea what to expect with teacher’s college. I’m pretty terrified that I’ll find out my life long passion isn’t for me and that’ll I’ll do awful. Any tips of what to expect?
It is always different depending on where you go (especially what country/state/province you’re in), but, for the most part, it’s about how do we bring our knowledge into the classroom. I learned about following curriculum, teaching theories, lesson planning, etc. There was also a great deal of practicum experience. My year of teachers’ college was fabulous. It was the most fun I had in school and all of the work we did was very easy. When I say easy, I mean it wasn’t overly challenging, but it was a lot of hard work. I had the most amount of hours a week for classes, the most amount of homework and assignments, but it was something that I enjoyed doing.
Good luck!

Hi, would would a teacher do if they found out a student was self harming if they were in sixth form?
They would have to go through the proper procedures set up at their school to support the student, talk with them and get them help. Usually this includes involving the parents, support staff and counselling.

I’m almost in high school and the majority of my middle school teachers absolutely despise their job. Are high school teachers any better? I’ve heard that they are, but I believe you would be the most reliable source.
That’s too bad that it seems your middle school teachers don’t like their jobs. I cannot answer for other people and how they enjoy their professions. I enjoy what I do, but there are always bad days or parts of my job I don’t like (paperwork, administrative stuff). It’s different for every person.

Hi! I think your blog is absolutely hysterical. I’m in my last year at university, and I’m currently tutoring a few high school students in English Literature. A few students are struggling with essay writing (specifically with word choice, they struggle to employ a wider vocabulary). Do you have any advice on how I can help improve their vocab? Are there any online resources you would recommend? Thanks!
I’ve struggled with this question a bit, because I face the same issue with my students. Other than providing a “word of the day” to introduce them to new words or telling them to use a thesaurus, I believe the only real way for them to expand their vocabulary is for them to read books. This seems like a lost art with the current generation sometimes, but improved skills in reading, writing and speaking all come from reading. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it’s written properly (meaning no social media, etc).
Sorry I can’t be more help with this issue. This would be more of an individual solution for each person.
