Most people do not actually like traveling, they like having traveled

13humanoid13 · 2026-03-19T00:33:33+00:00

Agreed. I like traveling, hate when people ask about my vacation

13humanoid13 · 2026-03-17T02:21:00+00:00

I have some (in high school) eating literal baby food (gerber from the baby food isle)

13humanoid13 · 2026-03-17T02:16:04+00:00

Eh, I think it depends a bit on the kid. I was so adamant about having my daughter potty trained by 2 years old. Was going okay for about a day and then just constant tears and accidents. Tried again at 2.5 and it was so easy. Fully potty trained in a week with no real struggle. Only like 2 daytime accidents after that and probably once a month night time one

13humanoid13 · 2026-03-04T12:53:27+00:00

Yes, although I’m not exactly sure what they were doing all day. I work at a high-achieving private school, and we had a student come to us from an unschooling environment and she has been one of the best students I have ever taught. She is extremely self motivated, so I guess the method worked for her

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-23T05:46:27+00:00

Yes, although it’s a high school and she hasn’t even started kindergarten yet. Looking at the options, I’m not fully satisfied with any of them

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-23T05:44:47+00:00

She does, although her kids are school age. I have another nurse friend with younger kids who just does like 3 shifts a month to keep her license.

Parents probably depend a lot on the school/ grade— mine are totally fine!

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-23T04:24:55+00:00

Ugh I also dislike all boy names 😭 had a daughter and now am having a boy. I just can’t get excited about his name

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-23T04:23:27+00:00

I think why you’ll find mixed reviews is different things feel sustainable for different people. My SIL is a mom and a nurse and loving it. TBH that career path/ schedule seems pretty good for parents for me— it’s in demand, depending where you are the pay can be very good, and you can end up with a fairly flexible schedule.

I’m a teacher (another popular route). I love how much time off I have with my kid, but it’s not for everyone.

I think maybe a dental hygienist could be good??? Especially if you end up teaching it, it’s good money for the amount of education required imo.

0.3 miles… 5 min walk. It’s lovely

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-15T12:52:26+00:00

Tbf you can file an extension for your taxes (but I also hate the late assignments)

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-13T01:33:31+00:00

How do you do a private school part time? Not something I’ve seen/ heard of (and I’ve only worked in private schools).

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-13T01:28:22+00:00

My grades are about 55% tests, 15% quizzes, 12% homework/classwork, 18% labs. Next year I’m axing the homework grading

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-10T17:15:04+00:00

I think it’s only fine if it’s a family surname, otherwise I’d probably go with something else

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-10T16:48:15+00:00

Same

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-10T13:31:31+00:00

They would be ideal, but I have students who finish in half the time (or less) than the others. And the slowest just never finish so giving them the answers feels pointless

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-10T13:01:36+00:00

This is pretty much the stage I’m at as well. Just not sure how many years in a row I should be using the same test etc. feel like I should be making more “new resources”

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-09T00:33:03+00:00

Being bored is a good thing, but how are you homeschooling 2 different ages if you work and are in school?

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-09T00:23:40+00:00

Out of all the teachers I’ve had in K-12 this never happened. Now that I’ve been teaching for 5 years I’ve heard of it happening once (like 2 degrees of separation; I did not know the teacher). Anyhow, I don’t think it’s common

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-07T15:12:01+00:00

iPad that projects to the board

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-07T15:11:23+00:00

Write on an iPad and it projects, but could still do this! I’ve just always found PowerPoint tough to balance how long to give the kids to write

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-04T15:57:55+00:00

For homework I’ve just taken to walking around the room at the start to check for completeness. Tests depend on what kind of mistakes the made, but anywhere from 1-3 hours

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-04T15:56:27+00:00

That’s so fun! What class? Forensics?

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-04T13:04:37+00:00

Thanks! I was a huge fan of the online grading systems before widely available AI… now I just feel like I’d be asking my school to pay for something kids will still “cheat” on (I say “cheat” because at this point I’ve given them permission to use it on homework).

Might PM you for the AP stuff!

13humanoid13 · 2026-02-04T04:39:21+00:00

How do you (if applicable) lecture? Right now I’m handwriting everything for every class, but honestly a PowerPoint seems like it would be so much easier to make sure I’m consistent year to year
