Things have definitely changed in schools. It may surprise you, but gone are the days of overly scrutinized calligraphy classes and with them, the ability to read cursive writing and sign a half-decent signature.
This week in Teachers in the News, Devin covers students attacking teachers, true crime teacher podcasts, self care for teachers, and an OUTRAGEOUS student loan bill for an Orlando teacher.
Devin's list of the most ridiculous rules at schools across the country will send you on your way asking who is running our schools?

Crying In My Car Podcast with Devin Siebold: Presented By Bored Teachers - Komedie
If a student calls out that I misspelled something on the board I say, "It was a test, and you passed. Very good."
Not allowed to sit on the edge of a desk or table while teaching or be written up. Must constantly change bulletin boards or be written up. And of course, no one can "exceed expectations" across the board on their teaching review, because we have to find SOMETHING wrong. If we can't, we just make it up.
Third grade teacher here in the CA Central Valley and we teach Cursive EVERY year !!! It’s still a part of our curriculum
My students go to 4th all knowing how to write cursive and hopefully read it 😁🥰😁🥰
Wow really? I thought you guys would've phased that out by the time I was out of elementary! Cheers from a Central Valley native and former student.
@@justapurplerock Why? Learning cursive helps develop many skills including fine motor skills.
I’m a teacher: accommodation is a word we use a lot that I can’t spell without autocorrect.
Brand new teacher here going into my first year. I wasn't taught cursive and students now almost all but use computers. Cursive had its time, but not needed now.
That accounting error wasn't a mistake. Hospitals try this trick all the time. It's just a money grab. Some percentage of people will pay the exorbitant amount so it's worth a try.
Surprisingly, I can almost spell
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocaniosis!!!
My computer always autocorrects “definitely” 😂
My kids are currently 4th and 6th and they learned cursive in 3rd grade
Yes, "restaurant" is my word, too!
Texas gave up teaching cursive a few years back, but now we have gone back to teaching it. -I teach high school, but I am sure I heard that from some of our elementary teachers.
My 17 & 14 y.o. kids were literally only taught how to write their name in cursive for the purpose of a signature.
Restaurant is such a hard word for me too!
I had a dream this morning that one of my students threw a desk at another sstudent. Thankfully this was just a dream, but this young man has acted physically violent three different times in two different classes in real life this year.
When I had ESL students in my HS science classes, I was told to print, so over the years developed a fast print style that had some elements of cursive. Also, i cannot spell (without special effort) lisence and occaision (misspelled here just to prove it).
Guarantee is the word I frequently forget how to spell
The buddy teacher thing actually can work. You have a desk in the corner with a folder, when a kid acts up they get sent to the buddy room where the kid has to fill out a reflection form, or there’s some random busy work, gives them a chance to cool down and get their head straight. Works well if you pair up a couple grades apart - like when I taught eighth grade and pair with a sixth grade teacher. Kid is now in a room where they don’t know any of the other kids so you remove the showing off for peers benefit, and they just have to work quietly in the corner until they can control themselves again. Now, if they go to the buddy room and act like a jackass, that’s now an immediate office referral AND you have the benefit of having documented that you have tried an alternate discipline method so admin had to deal with it at that point. Works either way - they do calm down and you’ve saved the hassle of having to write them up, or they don’t and it is now admin’s problem.
But of course elementary "special area" teachers don't have this option, because... why would they?? They have the worst schedules, they have every student and often no special ed support, they are the first classes to integrate, they are disrespected by other staff and the principal, and they have the least support.
Lisence is my word. Lisence or license. Because it doesn’t make sense! Lol
We have cycled back around to the days of signing documents with an X. Make yer mark on the line! And my word with a spell-block is calendar. That “a” at the end always looks wrong, I want to put “er” instead.
YES! I said those two words before you even said them. Those are hard. Restaurant and Definitely. Only got them thanks to auto suggestions.
My word is probably 😂
Psychology / Physics
Text-to-Speech really is the future.
Devices now let kids take a picture of a book and it reads the page to them.
So I have seen a teacher REMOVE a child from her classroom and have them be in the class across the hall who was working on the same lesson. The child was acting up and refusing to listen. So when the child was moved to the other classroom he knew he had gone to far. He finished that lesson in the other room then came back to class with a different attitude. It was actually very helpful
Yes we do need cursive and I don't write in all caps. Actually writing an essay versus typing helps the thinking process. . Writing in cursive helps brain development as well as fine motor skills. It was sort of funny to see some teachers during our district's recent ransomware attack unable to function without a computer and computer based lessons. There are still some skills we should all know- whether it is cursive or pen and paper lessons which don't require technology. There are still some standardized tests that are paper based. I recently took the IELTS for residency in another country and it was paper based. We are making ourselves stupid by 100% relying on technology.
I think children should at least be proficient in reading cursive at the very least, it's important for any and all historical document
To your point about not being allowed to make any more copies, etc., at a previous school, we had something similar. It was because we were over budget on copies.
At another time, we were out of paper and to start bringing our own if we wanted to make copies. Starting the next school year, we had copy codes we had to enter and couldn't only make a specific amount of copies per month.
With the advent of Google Classroom, and online assignments, fortunately, I rarely make copies of anything anymore.
Also, I know I "shouldn't" have to do this, and it is sad that I've resorted to this, but it's been worth my mental health to buy my own $200 HP color scanner/printer and an HP Instant Ink account. That way, I pay based on how many copies I typically make (or things I print out) a month, can adjust that amount any time, and the ink cartridges come to me so I never have to go to the store again. The cost is less than buying those cartridges the usual way and you never run out of ink. As soon as you sign up, they send you all of your colors. From then on, as you replace a color, one is automatically sent to you.
Doing this was a total game changer. I can print out parent reports on the spot and not have to walk to the other side of the campus, on a different floor, to pick up what I printed out. I can print out work samples for IEPs on the spot, print out seating charts each morning and make notes on them about anything good, bad, or just "notes to self" about anything that happened that period.
I cannot spell opinion or squirrel (that took me three minutes plus a Google search)
Spelling is easy. Me personally…
Yes 100% I would teach cursive. All of our prior state departments documents are in cursive and we want to be able to understand the past. This is horrible. Same thing occurs in the synagogues too weather or not to teach Hebrew in block or cursive. It is sad that we are creating a society of people whose language will be grunting. We are going back to cave people days. It is truly sad.
I learned this in 3rd grade to spell because you say big-b elephants-e can- always-a upset-u small-s elephants-e and if I don’t say it I will not know how to spell because
I love this podcast!
