Last Call to sign up for Phic Phight!
The form closes tonight at Midnight EST! If you're on the fence about joining, here's some food for thought.
If you join and don't write anything, that's okay!
You can comment on the fics others have written to get points that way!
You'll get to see all our prompts before the end of April, and this year they're all very good.
You'll get to enter your own prompts and read fics based off of them!
Every time someone joins the event @currentlylurking cries tears of joy.
We're all very excited for April 1st, but please remember when signing up to click the link at the end of the form and join our discord! We're working to streamline the event more and more every year, so we won't be contacting people on tumblr to tell them their teams.
If you signed up and are not in the discord, reach out to us and we'll get you in.
Happy year five of Phic Phight, everyone. We're so excited to see what you'll do.

Hello! Very random and no worries if that's not your intention for the blog, but I love reading about your teacher experience and insights! Take this ask more so as encouragement to write more about it if you feel like it, because I'm going to start teaching soon (and yes, many people I've met have warned me about both its miracles and horrors lol) and it's really helpful to hear others' experiences :)
Thanks for the ask! Honestly I'm just a first year, so I don't have a tonnnn of advice to give. But here's a few general first year tips from one to a future another:
1 — No matter what, having a good department team is ESSENTIAL. You're going to be relying on them a lot your first year for help, advice, curriculum stuff, behavioral management stuff, etc. Talk to them, get to know them, have lunch with them, share issues/seek advice from them. You're going to encounter situations that your degree did not prepare you for (likely, in the first week lol. For me, it was Day 1) and having people around to help you judgement free is going to be crucial. I was super lucky that my department team and all the teachers from other departments that I work closely with are really amazing, easy to work with, etc.
2 — You're also going to want a good relationship with the "other" departments. The library staff, tech staff, sped department, guidance, janitors, etc. They're all lovely people, so don't be afraid to pop in to introduce yourself on the first week!
3 — Crazy things are going to happen. Like....all the time. Don't bring them home with you. As soon as you exit the doors, shake it off. All your students made it on the bus to their parents alive, so it's fine. Your job is done for the day. I've been going to the gym a lot right from school, and it's been really helpful to prevent myself from taking anything home with me so to speak.
4 — Document, document, document. Did something happen? Document it, email a copy to whoever's applicable: admin, guidance, sped, BCBA, etc. "Hello, just emailing a summary of what happened today" is not an uncommon email for me to send out. If an IEP isn't working, well at the next IEP meeting it shows they have 10 emails in the last month from you about little Timmy's hourly verbal threats and attempted physical violence to his classmates, so maybe the BCBA needs to do some data collection to adjust his BIP, or they need to give him a 1-1, or give him more resource intervention, etc.
5 — This isn't so much of advice, more like reassurance. The small moments when it clicks for a student and they get something, and then the confidence and excitement shows, it's really the best. That's probably why I've fallen so in love with working where I did. The other day, after weeks of struggling to help this student with Downs with his math, I tried a totally different approach based off a few example problems I saw in a math intervention workbook and hOLY HELL IT WORKED. It totally clicked for him, and the kid was so excited to do a problem out on the board for the class. It was amazing. Another student with an LD who I've been helping heavily school aced a quiz in one of her classes and legit ran into the room to show me. Cue me literally jumping out of my chair to high-five her, and her calling her parents to deliver the good news. Like, little things like that are really really special, and they're going to mean so much to you. And I hope you get to experience LOTS of them too!

The topic of Danny Phantom came up in conversation with a coworker and I mentioned I'm active in the fandom, and he asked me what the weirdest thing in the fandom is, so I said the dissection/vivisection fics and then showed him art of Little Baby Man and Diddles Piddles. He was like "yeah that's weird." Stay classy, Phandom.

The people in my tags/notes going "well my teacher...." y'all I need you to know that 99% of the time the student or couple of troublemaker students who you think are the teacher's favorites are actually a case of:
1) IEP accommodations (e.g. frequently checking in on a student, prompting them, previewing material, orally going over work, etc) and yes "jocks" can have disabilities resulting in needing this level of support too.
2) Student/Group Of Students Need To Be Babysat To Complete Literally Anything Because There Is A Genuine Executive Functioning Crisis Happening With Teens Right Now
I had a student accuse me of favoritism to these two boys a few weeks ago and I had to nicely (and legally) explain that it's not that I favor them over her, it's that "some people need more support than others" and I can trust her to complete work thoroughly on her own with less frequent check-ins in a way I can't necessarily do with others. That I think she's INCREDIBLY bright, she has amazing work ethic, and I take notice of everything she does in the classroom whether or not I comment on it that day.
It's a really difficult line to balance between spending more time with some students (and thus as a consequence ignoring others) vs giving everyone the same amount of time and energy (and thus as a consequence letting kids slip through the cracks). Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and some people just really struggle with school. Yes, even those who are socially or athletically inclined can have 30 page IEP documents listing disabilities and accommodations that you know absolutely nothing about.
There is one of me and I'm not a god. I can't split myself in half, though that'd be nice. I'm not saying that every teacher cares like this—every job has bad apples in the mix. And sure, some students are wayyyy more interested in striking up a conversation with me than others. But when all the kids leave from school and I'm with my colleagues and we're talking about our difficult classes, THIS is the stuff we're talking about. We're talking about kids who are 15 and don't know their basic math facts, kids who are 16 and don't know when to capitalize a word in a sentence, kids who are 17 and are so impulsive, addicted to their screens, and emotionally dysregulated that we're worried about what will happen when we ship them off to college. We're strategizing together and comparing notes and trying to figure out what to do.
I don't mean to get deep here but like yeah man a LOT goes on behind the scenes in a school that students just don't know about (legally cuz like confidentiality shit ya feel???)
Me: I think Mr Lancer’s character in the hit Nickelodeon show Danny Phantom was really underrated and was a poor example of what teachers are actually like. He clearly played favorites to the jocks and I don’t know any real live teacher that would do that. Additionally I think he would have gotten Danny sent for testing to put him on an IEP because no 14 year old willingly crashes and burns that hard in school. Overall I think it was a missed opportunity to give Danny a character outside of his immediate friend and family circle that actually is rooting for him to succeed.

I like imagining the policy changes to Nasa after Mark Watney's extended stay on Mars. Used to have 4 independent communication methods? Make it 8. Send enough food for 3 years now. Send so much duct tape. The rover needs to be able to recover from being rolled. The air locks between the rover, HAB and pop tents should all be interchangeable.
Also potatoes. I fully believe that every manned mission after The Martian will include potatoes, for sentimental reasons. I am equally sure that Mark absolutely hates that fact.
