i never said that it had to be a custom made 3000 dollar sheital! in fact someone who does wear that to teach is a little nuts. but people who just throw on dumpy clothing and a shmatta on their heads have the tendency to be disorganized and cant always run a classroom. I’ve seen it first hand. The teachers who dress like the shlumps have a class where the kids run wild and dont care. the ones who dress put together care what the kids look like when they go home, has a clean organized classroom and actually care about the children. spend a day in a school with both type of teachers and ull see the difference

i work in 2 schools. one you must wear a sheital(no falls allowed) so i wear a pony shietal. ill tell you it’s the best thing that i have to do.

Oomis-despite what ppl think hair is not really getting ruined from these things. i used to think the same thing too until i started teaching and having to wear the sheital myself.

sneakers i feel are ok because there are some ppl who cant wear shoes(like myself) and stand on my feet. when i see people coming to work in snoods it makes me feel..”why bother coming to work. it seems u have other things to do so why you here?”

Theprof-hook us up! Ask your cousin if he knows anyone.

thanks everyone!

By the way…I am not trying to share my personal life…I was just trying to see if the people out there have had the same types of problems as me and what they did

its not even the breathing. i get sooo nervous. like the fact that my husband works and gets home late gives me anxiety. he has an hour and 15 minutes each way on the subway daily and i cant take it anymore lol. its just so hard so of course im left to think about all different things and i get nervous and the anxiety starts

sms007-i wish i could. ive told the principal and shes like “oh letters go home.” the problem is is that the outside teachers dont inforce it! they are too scared. this is in a bais yaakov school i work for. when i was working in a boys yeshiva they had no problem when i opened my mouth. i was best friends with the secuirty guard and he would say “YOU TELL THEM!” and thats exactly what i did. because sometimes they say “well its an important call etc etc.” the only one i ever heard as am important call was when a teacher i worked with said someone she knew was waiting for a call from her kids oncologist…now THAT is important unfortunetly. but just to chitchat with your friends?!?!?!

WIY-im trying that. today i actually went walking and i came home,to more anxiety. I dont have kids yet so its not like i have kids giivng me stress lol

Ronrsr-thanks

i couldnt really…but i have said it to a few to get off the phone by dismissal
