They don't have to be conservative. The are supposed to "look" conservative. And I agree it's most important to be a loveable teacher. If your kids don't like you, they won't respect you. I'd say that all of my teach's in high school looked pretty straight edge. Some were obviously hippies, but you'd never know just looking at them
thats funny cause we had teachers that were veruy odvios hippies and 1 i thought might be a biker
That'sawesome. I wish it was like that for me. It might be something for my generation. It seems to be ararity to find a teacher who is outwardly liberal. Teachers aren't even supposed to voice any politicalopinionsanymore. You can get in trouble ( not like fired, but definitely frowned upon) if you even go to a rally
Teachers can have locks. There's nothing stopping themlegally But when it comes down to actully getting a job in a school, it depends on the principal and the school district. Most, and I mean the vast majority of principals, won't hire dread heads. Those who get hired should count their blessings. They are probably the best teachers out there, but being the best teacher doesn't mean you'll get the job, in fact, the best teachers are the ones who don't make it 5 years. They get fed up with the administration.
Literally, 50% of all new teachers don't make it 5 years. Some because they weren't cut out for the job, and a lot because the job doesn't let them actually help kids. You can be loveable all you like, but in the end, the administration stops you from teaching kids the truth.
I grew up around teachers; My mom was one for a few years and quit to become a social worker because she really wanted to help kids. my dad taught for philly for 35 years, my girlfriends dad taught for phily for 35 years, and my girlfriend teaches for philly now. It hasn't change dmuch, except now they teach to the standardized tests. Not only are those tests false and take money away from ailing schools, it stops the teachers for dozens of weeks out of the year from teaching relevant material
amen bruda!!!

Maybe a spray made of salt water combined with some essential oils would help?
I made one today for starting my dreadlock journey that has Rosemary, Peppermint, and Tea Tree oils in it.
sounds like a great combination. I've never added salt to my solutions. How much did you use?
I want to teach but also want dreads...
