I should not have got in trouble

no it's not clickbait I did get in trouble three times but if you're looking for some make some good juicy story it's not really going to happen this video I will explain the three times that I got in trouble in school and kind of give you my side of the story and what the other side of the story was claiming they're mostly kind of funny because you're like really this is how teachers are getting in trouble these days but it's true it happened to me and I want to explain them to you because they're just kind of weird they had no effect of why I left the classroom well let's just get into them cuz I know that's what you want to hear so the first time I got in trouble in teaching and it was probably my earlier years third or fifth year teaching was we had our like review your administrators would come in and just kind of review you and stuff like this and I remember I was a couple years in because I started to get confident in my teaching and I was like all right I'm starting to get this like I know what I'm doing and I was teaching Algebra 1 once you have your math degree Algebra 1 like it's actually very difficult to teach because you have to get yourself onto the level of your students and sometimes when you've taken so much more math or you've taught upper level courses it's hard to put yourself in the framework of your students I knew what I was doing like I had everything prepared I would plan out stuff I would just not go through the time of writing out detailed plans I basically just kind of winged it and if I remember correctly this was also my time when I was a wrestling coach so my time was like very very minimal I was teaching then doing wrestling like and I wrestled basically was like a year round program I mean yeah we had our season but we did offseason tournaments on the weekends like it was a full-time gig so the reason I got in trouble was I just didn't have any lesson plans like I would just show up I knew what I was going to teach I'd look over the information and I would just kind of wing it and that was not good that was not up the par at that moment in the time uh of our district we had to have provide written out lesson plans and again I was a little bit younger and I was able to get by but I would definitely say that I didn't really have a foundation of the importance of writing out lesson plans for my students but I would say I will agree that that was a good reason for me to get in trouble because I fully do support having out a written out lesson plan and not so much a detailed like you do as like a student teacher but really thinking through the problems and how the students are going to react to them and having more than just you know a couple problems that students are going to do or what you're going to teach and everything else so is what it is I eventually started writing out my lesson plans and then as I grew as a teacher the lesson plans actually became more important to me I didn't even actually care about what the district wanted I prepared lesson plans so therefore I could create them for students to be able to follow you know online as well as to help me as a teacher be a ble to guide myself throughout the year so lesson plans actually became more important to me once I truly understood the importance of them because before that point it was just a like a check mark for the district like oh here's my lesson plans didn't really mean anything to me and I just did them and they're boring and I hated them but it's was just that dog and pony show that a lot of teachers do if they don't understand how to craft a proper lesson plan without taking hours and hours of their day to be effective so I got in trouble I fixed it it's okay now the next one it's kind of an odd one you might not believe it but it's true the next time I got written up as a teacher I had a camera in the middle of my classroom the reason I got needs Improvement on there because it was possible that a student behind the camera because it was like in the middle there students behind to the sides it was possible that if I was teaching at a certain part of the board and a student was on a certain part of the classroom that they might not be able to see because the video camera was an obstruction now I never had a student complain and if students were outside I never had a problem with them getting up and moving to a different part of the classroom or you know moving the camera if I wasn't recording never had a problem with that but still I got it dinged on my evaluation so I did not get a high performing evaluation that year because I had a camera in the middle of my classroom and it didn't matter why I had a camera in the middle of my classroom that I was recording these videos uploading them on YouTube and doing all this for my you know for my students so they could watch any lecture they wanted to online I think it was like one of those they needed something to Mark me down on they didn't want to give everybody like high performing or satisfactory reviews so that was one that I got dinged on and then the last one now this one's actually kind of funny I never thought it was actually be possible and I didn't really get in trouble trouble with it but I got a warning we'll put it that way so I was in the classroom teaching and all of a sudden my principal comes in with two District personnel and I'm like oh crap like it wasn't like they like they're coming in to like look in my classroom like evalu me like they had a look on their face where I'm like uhoh this seems like I'm in trouble now again um I never did anything to Warrant anything that'd be like in serious trouble so I was a little bit confused but I was also still like kind of scared like is there something I'm not aware of that I could be in trouble on like their faces just were stoic and it just it seemed odd because I I had a good rapport with my principal so when I would see her we were usually always smiling with each other and everything else but this was different so they pulled me out of the classroom and they're like can we see your dists computers because we're having some issues and I'm like sure okay and it made me think I'm like is there something that maybe a student uploaded to a video like they're accusing me of or uploaded to one of the computers and they're accusing me of like I I didn't know but I was confused and concerned what they were going to find so they go on our computers because we had like four computers in our classroom and they go on the computers and I just kind of continue teaching and they pull up this folder and it was my my videos my YouTube videos and the problem was for whatever reason I'm not really sure why I did it because usually I would upload my videos using the computer using that computer I'd take them from the flash drive upload them to the computer upload them to YouTube after school you know sometimes anywhere from 40 to 100 videos a day because I was recording so many videos and then I would delete them all R they up to YouTube I delete them but for whatever reason I like forgot to delete these videos or I just was like hey you know what I'll save these because maybe they were like different videos I may want to use later but the problem was I took up all those videos took up all the server space so therefore nobody could save anything cuz it was Shar Drive the whole school had like a Shar drive and so my videos I wouldn't say crashed our system that's a pretty good way to say that like you crash them but like but yeah nobody could like save or do anything on a share drive because all my videos had completely filled up the whole Drive once I figured it out you know I got a warning from them like you can't save any of your personal stuff on the share Drive obviously it's for like the school stuff so don't do it again or you will be in trouble so it was a Stern warning but it was no problem because I was like oh I shouldn't have done that anyway so I just deleted them all and never did it again so I was good and that was it that's really about as tough as I've been I know it's not as exciting um some of them are a little funny especially to me or maybe some other teachers you know I've had the superintendent of schools come into my classroom he goes up to my board because we had to have the objective of the lesson plan on our board so he reads my objective and he says that's not a good objective that you should have a better objective and this is the superintendent of schools so I'm like you know fair enough thank you and he takes that information to the principal the principal has a conversation with me and I'm like whatever El like okay yes I get it you know I can improve blah blah blah but then I'm like wait a minute I didn't actually create that objective and I go and look into our district lesson plans because our district would actually provide us with like a framework of like the objective whatever else and they told us to use the objectives from the district and put them on our board and that's exactly what I did so the superintendent was basically just you know saying hey that's not a good objective but it wasn't even mine it was actually the districts of his own Personnel that provided it but that's it guys didn't really get in trouble I did have some embarrassing moments and if you want to know those embarrassing moments then check out the next video I have for you here cheers
