That’s up to you; what do you feel is right? You could try sharing your concerns with a teacher you trust.

I have reason to believe that my physics teacher is taking alcohol to school and drinking during school hours. Should I report this?

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.

How do you feel about Teach for America? I always thought it sounded like a wonderful thing since education inequality has always been an important issue to me and it would be a great way to do some hands-on good. But now I’ve begun to see a lot of negative testimonies about it, saying TFA teachers aren’t adequately prepared and their co-workers tend to resent them for being privileged and/ or snobby. Is this something I should look into being a part of?
I don’t know what Teach for America is. Do some research, talk to people, make your own decision. Good luck.
