AshleyMSJC5 Feb 13 @ 10:41 PM EST

A2: I don't want to talk about workplace romance. I want to talk about bringing my dog to work. Bark bark. #IEedchat

rguztec Feb 13 @ 10:45 PM EST

MathButler Feb 13 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2 cont'd It is nice to be able to vent/discuss w some1 who gets the context, can give honest feedback. Foundation of honesty key.#IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Feb 13 @ 10:48 PM EST

A2b: Avoid PDA & similar behaviors. Workplace is professional. Ss + most staff never knew wife and I were dating. Kept it 💯. #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Feb 13 @ 10:50 PM EST

A2b: I've only seen positives of strong team work but I'm sure there are negatives out there too #IEedchat

MathButler Feb 13 @ 10:50 PM EST

A2b: Ss need to respect Ts as professionals. We are human, but I've always valued professionalism of staff. #IEedchat

A3: At the high school level, you see a lot of Ss that have crushes. I found it best to talk to Ss about dating good people. #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Feb 13 @ 10:53 PM EST

A3: I just let them know to not get distracted & no PDA in the class. I've had SS grades improve because their bf/gf was helping #IEedchat

MathButler Feb 13 @ 10:54 PM EST

A3: Would offer reminder: "Love is hardly perfect, requires learning, and work." Enjoy life - just remember to grow yourself too. #IEedchat

MathButler Feb 13 @ 10:54 PM EST

Totally agree with this. Always good to have positive influences in your life. #IEedchat

Q3B: How do you deal with excessive PDA between students at your school? Is it a problem? #IEedchat

MathButler Feb 13 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3b: My fav move is just awkward presence. Remind Ss that P stands for public, and I can be there right next to them in hallway. #IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Feb 13 @ 10:58 PM EST

A3b: Students making out in front of a crowd of other students is pet peeve of mine. I guess it could be worse, but... #IEedchat

MathButler Feb 13 @ 10:58 PM EST

A3b: Also - I don't see it as a problem, but it does have seasons. Like now near Valentines. Expecting breakups around May. #IEedchat

KathleenDiver Feb 13 @ 10:59 PM EST

A3b- I say "excuse me". If they dont break, I go explain that we're in a professional (work) environment & PDA is not acceptable #ieedchat

Chrisjlara24 Feb 13 @ 10:59 PM EST

A3b: I'll simply say "come on" or "go to class" not much else I can do #IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Feb 13 @ 10:59 PM EST
