I am a high school history teacher.

Ask me shit while I grade some papers.

Do you make decent amounts of money as a history teacher?

Depends where you work mostly. The teachers in the richer parts of town obviously get higher wages.

Once you get tenured it gets a little easier because you can get away with more, but if you are working at certain charter schools prepare to be fucked hard. I did a few "internship" like things there.

Wouldn't recommend it, but they seemed *slightly* better structured than the public schools only because they could fire the shitty teachers or teachers that make too much money.

Anyway Direct answer: Kinda, but not really. I need to work two jobs in the summer to pay rent since they don't pay me for the summer since school is technically "out" even though I spend 3 - 6 hours a day at the damn place preparing stuff for fall.
>>
>>684581584
>>684581618

No, but some girls have tried. They would come to me during my office hours in short skirts and revealing shirts.

I'm not going to fuck myself out of a job because some girl couldn't study. There were a few times their parents put them up to it too.
>>
Do you feel pride when one of your student gets better grades?
>>
>>684582098
Hell yes. This is one of the things keeping me in the job. When a student succeeds. I've had students that believed they couldn't do it, but when they see that "A" they got on a test. It feels good man.

Not even that, but when a student finds a new passion in history through my class its a damn good feeling. Some have considered starting a history club. I told them to go for it and I'll even sponsor them.

>>684582098
>This is one of the things keeping me in the job

Is there anyone or anything that motivates you to continue teaching? Or is this just a job for you?

>>684581714

That sounds so hot for some reason, I think I need to sleep.
Jesus, thats scary, almost losing your job that way.

The ability to talk about history and lecture with students. Its fun when you get into a discussion. However this has caused problems in the past.

Thankfully I'm tenured at the school, but holy hell. Do the administers hate it. Mostly because I challenge things that are pretty well established.

also the school didn't like it when I talked about Gouverneur Morris.

Just the idea of helping kids get through things mostly. I do want to see them succeed and pass through things completely and move on to a better life. It can just be difficult at times because of the parents. Sometimes it does feel like a job to me and a horrible job at that.

There are a lot of roadblocks and interested parties that want education to go a certain way. Alot of teachers are against it. One of them is standardized tests.

Also yes, parents put their kids up to crazy shit. one girl's parents tried to get me fired by claiming I raped her. Problem was I was at a teacher's conference during the time so the school board was like "Wait a second.." from what I heard she spilled the beans about how it was her parents idea. There was another scandal in the news during the time so thankfully my story was largely ignored.

There was also the time when I had a parent legit go tumblr on me and claim I was culturally appropriating their child or some shit. She came over and sat in the class and disagreed with everything I was saying claiming I was "white-washing" history. We had to get her removed.

>>684582830
Not yet, but I'll add it to the list.

Thanks for responding, keep doing your best as an instructor.

I have to finish my last two weeks of high school class (still 18).
Interesting perspective on teaching.

Who knows, maybe when I run for House of Representatives and get rid of standardized testing teachers might focus on more than what the school says they should do.
Take care my man
>>
>>684583567
Antiquity and the classics for sure. I mostly majored in the Greco-Roman classics. So I'm mostly focused in that.

>>684583589
Depends what you want to do and what you want to teach as well as regional / county laws.
Make sure you try and look up as much information as possible. What degrees are needed, what paper work is needed, what you need to pass and what you need to do.

Becoming a teacher in a public school (especially because you are a foreigner) is really unlikely. Private schools? You'll have a better chance (slightly) Universities and Colleges? That is your best bet, but you'll need to study like hell. You can also get a teaching degree and pass the teacher exam (Its called PRAXIS where I am) and do all the work then. If you do some work as a substitute teacher It'll help.

>>684583676
Mother fucking standardized test preparations. The papers I'm grading now are "mock tests" and its pissing me off.

>>684583702
There are a few students I'd spank if there were no obstacles . Mostly for behavioral issues, one because she is 18 and hot, and one because her dad needs to slap the stupid out of her.

>>684583912
Not at all. I was actually aiming for this position. Special Ed. teachers make more money though, but have a tough job I would never be able to do.

>>684583985
Thanks man. Teachers just want to teach, but everyone keeps getting in their way. I just want to teach the kids the past to prepare them for the future.
>>
>>684581200
How many people get "F"s?
>>
Mr. Ahmad? Is that you?
>>
>>684584328
More than I would like, and the school just boosts them up to a "C" so we don't hear complaints from parents.

Also depending if the student is hispanic/black/arabic or not that F might become a B.

>>684584422
Nope! :P
>>
Are you married?
>>
>>684584487
Nope! Don't really have any plans too in the future yet, but there is a girl I'm kinda of crushing on now. So I'm trying to see where that goes. I'm a teacher and she is kinda-sorta an archaeologist so we go together kinda well I think~

>>
>>684584618
I would enjoy it a lot more if people stop telling me what to fucking teach. We mostly focus in America (fine) but leave out This person, this person, this event, this event, etc. Don't talk about this because we'll get a specialist, and don't bring up this because you might make a student sad.

I love history and love teaching it but fuck man. The kids like it too when you teach it right and make it interesting. They loved learning about Gouverneur Morris only because he was completely different than what everyone expected him to be.

>>684584635
Afraid not. Schools are really afraid of being "Unfriendly" or "racist". Its becoming a huge issue. We've actually had staff being told to try and mix people together during lunch period when everyone goes and sits with their friends and stuff. They don't like too many whites sitting together and too many blacks sitting together because it makes it look like we are segregating lunches.

Parents spoiling them, the internet giving into their little pissy attention sprees, and mostly because we coddle them too much instead of disciplining them.

>>684585091
This one kid who I'm positive was born and is currently living out of pure luck. He was good with history, good with math, but I don't know how the fuck he survives everyday. Everyday he falls down the stairs, When he eats his lunch (which is specially prepared) he throws it right back up, he (somehow) swallowed three pieces of chalk. His mother forgot he was at school and then went to the wrong school. He somehow falls asleep while standing, he failed middle school grades multiple times because his mother kept forgetting which school he belonged too and holy shit during gym he is one of the most act kids there, but he somehow always ends up getting himself stuck in the bleachers.

I have no idea how he is alive, but damn. He isn't dumb (per say) but shit I don't know what to call this.

Dumb on an academic level would be this one girl who was convinced that all of history was made up to keep her from passing and getting into ivy league. She refused to learn anything or hear anyone.

>>684585352
Its becoming much more prominent now. Much much much more prominent.


>>684585357
I guess the way I taught it since I wasn't allowed to talk about Thomas Jefferson because he owned slaves or some shit. I got around it by teaching about Morris. His life, behavior, what he did, etc. The kids were kind of shocked at first to hear about him but gradually came to like him. Everyone laughed when I told them story of how he tells everyone he broke his leg leaping from the window of a woman he was having an affair with whose husband almost caught them.

>>684585359
I try honestly. I like to focus less on dates and more on the events that happened around dates or specific cultures. For example teaching the classics class I focused an entire marking period on Sparta and Spartans.
>>
>>684581200
What's your biggest mistake you've done as a teacher?
>>
>>684585392
I think its 50/50 at this point. Most of the seniors like it me and the freshmen tend to enjoy me, but it seems that sophomores and juniors don't like me as much. Probably because that is when the majority of testing is happening and I have to just review for that. Seriously from March to June its all standardized test bullshit.

>>684585602
Sometimes. We get kids who just sleep through class don't show up but ace every fucking exam. At first I thought they were cheating, but NOPE! They just enjoy history or learn stuff on their spare time. Some fo them get notes from their friends and other things. I avoid tests that made online by "professionals" and make up my own exams.

>>684585774
Difficult to say. I guess during my early years I was a little more rebellious which caused problems among the teachers, faculty, students, parents, etc. So I've been on their shit list ever since. I'm surprised I haven't been fired for half the shit I did honestly.

I'm glad to hear that, nothing kills interest more that "date: event, date: event" imo. Also I have a tip for you, try to put things in context. Like, let's say you're teaching about something that happened somewhere, say also what was happening at the other end of the world at that time.

>>684581200
Would you agree that public schools are becoming or have become nothing more that internment facilities for American youths?

We had one kid who wears a trenchcoat everyday. No matter what the weather is he just wears it and deals with the heat. He is.. sort of smart? He gets decent grades but not great. He doesn't really talk about his hobbies or anything and he causes a lot of issues with other students. I think he might have the autism, but I'm not sure.

>>684586413
The most interesting historical fact (or facts) all have to do with Spartan Marriages which intrigue the living hell out of me.

One person I've really enjoyed trying to learn about is Hypatia of Alexanderia A lot of people believe her death was the end of the intellectual period of the roman empire. Very little information about her but take a look at the film "Agora" if you are interested.

>>684586430

History Buff Students are great. Make the class more fun because we get into debates and mock arguments in class. When things get heated the rest of the class pays attention. I give extra credit if you challenge what I know.

>>684586967
50/50 I agree that some and many schools are basically becoming internment facilities for American youths. Most parents I've worked with just see schools as nothing more than a daycare for their kids. We have guarded entrances at our school ever since the kids from the "darker" side of town have come over. Gentrification is happening in this town at the moment.

Teachers need a hell lot of more abilities than that. We have to make sure the students are not only kept in one place, but well taken care of, need to recognize abuse, try and solve their issues, try and get their parents involved, fight the government when they want to expel a kid because of a picture he posted online.

We aren't a prison yet, but we are trying to help kids instead of just locking them away.

Whoa whoa whoa, we don't like your kind around here.

How many of your coworkers (out of how many total, or a percentage) would you consider incompetent at their job?
At my high school about half of the history teachers were also a coach or heavily involved in the sports teams in some way, and it really showed when they taught plain wrong or autistically dumbed down information.
>>
Did you ever have to modify what you were teaching for religious reasons?
>>
>>684587477
Not that I know of. I'll have to keep an eye out honestly. To see if the way I behave in class seems to have run off on them.

>>684587563
Agora is eh. Its mostly used as an example of extremism of religion can bring about destruction of intelligence as in all extremism is bad. For example the Library of Alexandra was destroyed and burned by Roman soldiers on order. In the film its burned by the Christian zealots in a way that pisses everyone off.

Spartan Marriages are interesting. because there are a few ways to have it done.

1. You must sneak into her house at night and rape her. She must not over-power you. You must claim her as your own and take control. You cannot let her beat you either because you don't want to appear. Strong men = strong children.

2. She will give a signal and you must sneak into her house at night. Sleep with her without alerting anyone and leave. You victory is evidence by the child in her. Don't get caught or you'll lose your junk.

I'm quickly summarizing but its more complicated than that as well. Also Spartan woman were the only women permitted to have their own athletics tournaments and marathons. Something they practiced while the men were at war.

>>684587659

>>684587735

>>684587812
all the goddamn time.

>>684587828
I'd say about a few. Mostly because we largely cut back on the history program and many history teachers aren't as in-demand now. It upsets me that most schools and universities are really pushing for STEM at the cost of other subjects.

Hell we don't even have a music or art program anymore.

>>684587991
I try to avoid religious topics in my class unless they come in the actual subject. For example I did talk about how Christopher Columbus was rejected until he talked to the Queen of Spain's Confessor.

Some people do want a more historically religious class though which I just can't do because they want me to include Christianity, Judaism, or Islamic material which would be a complete disaster.

Not the history guy but a lot of stuff about Hitler, the numbers of jews gassed in Auschwitz and a multitude of other things. As one fucko once said, history is written by the victors.

There's a lot of holes in history too. Some things that we will simply never know.
