  1. Have you ever wondered what goes on at a teachers convention?

    Many of y'all know I have a job teaching and supervising troubled teen boys at a boarding school, who are one step away from Juvie.
    The task can be challenging at times, when the teens literally will try to attack you. But, anyway. That isn't the point of this thread!

    I have just attended my first teachers convention, and just like I would sleep in school.... I basically fell asleep for half the workshops that were going on. Getting up at 4:30 to travel 2 1/2 hours didn't help either.

    I was wondering! What do all you guys who are not teachers think goes on during these conventions? I would be interested in knowing!
    I always thought they went and just ate free food and hung out all day.
     
  2. Fried chicken and beer!
    Wait? That's not teaching?
    I need to change my major then..
     
  3. Ate free food and got drunk at night.
     
  4. Halimah, don't be such a hater.

    I think they'd talk about how they're going to plan 5 tests and quizzes on the same day.
     
  5. Hal, or it could be that most of them are doped up on heroine
     
  6. ._. Hermes, let's say I went to a christian school. Would I be expelled if I hit a kid outside of school?
     
  7. Or angry because they were forced to go there by the courts or their parents.
     
  8. I honestly think teachers talk about their class, what happened that day, and their students
     
  9. Lol Sasuke, I don't know. I am not administration lol
     
  10. fine, I wont chance it.
     
  11. Plugged in and recharged.



    Teachers are robots
     
  12. Sasuke lol
    But, that happens all the time in our school lol. People get cracked upside the head regularly.
    Since we are half a military school, they would get physical exercise.
     
  13. I would think they'd have different professionals discussing diverse topics related to the job; maybe some free time to interact with colleagues and some refreshments. Maybe a few presentations as well? Am I way off?
     
  14. What I thought they use to do was try attack me with homework cause I annoyed them so much
     
  15. I feel like they group up and talk about which student to hate and talk about why their class is the worst
     
  16. Lol Latin was spot on
