my physics teacher is so bad. he has no sense of discipline, and rambles on about things that aren’t important, teaches what he wants, and one lesson just scrapped the lesson plan and spent an hour watching dancing videos. i feel like i’ve not learned anything since february, but multiple people have complained and nothing’s been done. i’m getting a’s so people thing there’s nothing wrong, but that’s because i have to study my butt off and relearn everything myself. do you have any advice? sorry

That is unfortunate you are not getting the education you want/deserve.  One thing you could do is actually talk with your teacher privately and politely about your concerns.

Otherwise, you would have to look into the complaint system within your school board; do the complaints stay in the school or go to the school board?

Hi, have you ever taught at the school/s you went to as a student? Or do you know anyone who has? I am considering teaching at my old high school once I graduate university and am just looking for advice or any personal experiences. Thanks in advance, you have a fantastic blog!

I honestly find it weird to work in the school I attended.  I have only done so about 5 times as a supply teacher, and I did not enjoy it.  I’m sure it would have become easier/better if I was there permanently, but it was strange for me to have a different connection with my old teachers, where I can start calling them by their first names, know things about their lives I still think I shouldn’t know, etc.  It would be up to you to discover what fits for you.

Good luck in the job hunt!

hey you, have you heard of the TCC? how do you react on students crushing on you? and do you realize it without them confessing their undying love to you or anything? i’m a little curious since i am really in love with a teacher who’s not teaching me anymore but we are still talking a lot… have you ever… like… saw a student of yours on that man/woman-level instead of the teacher/student-level if you know what i mean? :)

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 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.
