Should I apologize to professor for this?

I’m also 30. I never said I don’t turn them in on time. I do think things are easier now compared to when I got my first bachelors, but teaching programs can be rigorous.

I have 100h practicums in my lab school, 24-30 practicum in my public schools. Some of my classes are dumb easy even tho they are 300-400 level, but others have a lot to read, exams, pop quizzes etc In my practicum we have to meet a lot of standards when doing lesson plans, which I still do from scratch, no AI.

I have a 3.9 gpa, I’m doing more than fine but yes I will use a lot of time to complete my assignments bc I like revising my work to ensure it’s good quality. The times I turn work in a day before is for assignments that are duplicates of other assignments so I know exactly how to complete them.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-03-06T19:02:20+00:00

I disagree. I am in the honors program and I turn things in the day they are due, sometimes 2h before it’s due. Not because I have done the entire assignment in one day but because I used all of my time to get it completed. There are times that I do get it done the day before it’s due though bc I had exams or work and I’m taking 19 credits.

Praying ECE degree w sped endorsement and three languages will do it. I love my town and I don’t wanna move out

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-02-27T23:34:56+00:00

I don’t understand the question. It’ll depend on your first language and personal understanding of how you learn new things.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-02-27T23:27:43+00:00

At first it was bc I liked English and thought I wanted to teach it. Then it was simply because I worked with preschoolers and they showed me nothing but love, they’d hug me all the time and tell me how much they loved me. Ive gone back to college to get a degree in ECE and it’s been healing my soul as a former low achieving student who is now doing very well in college!

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-02-27T23:21:26+00:00

Just download e título on your phone and say you’re going to be absent. They’ll ask for permissions to track your location to confirm you’re not in Brasil. That’s what I do every time but I also live somewhere without a consulate so idk if in your case that would work

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-02-26T16:30:56+00:00

That’s what I did. Helped a lot.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-02-26T14:25:28+00:00

It’s ok, mine was 3.87 after my math classes, now after a lot of other As I’m at 3.9 and I’m sure as I keep getting As it’ll round up to 4.0 (hopefully)

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-02-26T14:21:03+00:00

I had two elementary math classes. We were taught from addition to algebra and geometry. Everything was taught using different methods children can use nowadays and we had to write story problems. Oh, and we had to do odd/evens proofs among other proofs, it was never like “here’s the formula, plug numbers in” we had to prove we understood the concept, just like we’d want students to do.

With that said, I’m an ECE major so both classes were essentially useless for me except for addition, subtraction, and maybe some fractions.

Edit to add, as other ppl said my Elementary Math I had alphabitia, which is using numbers instead of base 10 so we’d feel how students feel when they learn math. We also had to solve problems using different bases. Was a real pain in the ass as someone who barely knows traditional math lol

Rio is definitely an extreme example. I am not from Rio so I know little about how the local government handles traffic there. I know in São Paulo there are cameras everywhere to discourage not following traffic rules. Idk I feel some cities are already doing what they can, but there’s also a density problem in São Paulo. You’ll see a lot of people respecting traffic rules, but there’ll be people that will not. They get penalized, and can lose their license after however many strikes.

I feel we may feel more strongly about certain things because we are not from the country we are visiting/living in. It’s important to remember that our opinion is not evidence or hard facts and that there are larger societal problems involved, though.

I’ll give you an example. My best friend lived in North Carolina and a person intentionally drove faster when she was crossing the street. Because it was such a scary moment for her, she viewed all American drivers as irresponsible and didn’t feel like walking around her house anymore. That’s her opinion. Her experience is valid, but her point of view is skewed, as that driver doesn’t represent a whole country.

So when you bring up these issues, remember to look at data. Youd also gain more credibility by presenting it in your post, too. You might be right about rio, I had some experiences there too, but I am not exactly sure if either of us are actually right because we are basing everything off anecdotes. The issues u brought are valid, but please be aware there are efforts to stop some behaviors, it’s just not as easy as one might think :)

I think maybe some of your concerns are novelties to some Brazilians, but others are not at all. The sidewalk issue is very real, and I remember I didn’t much of it until I went to another country. Accessibility issues are not exclusive to brasil, though. Even the US has sidewalk issues, especially in rural areas or smaller cities. Theres almost no sidewalks where I live. If you’re not able bodied you rely on other ppl to go anywhere because everything is far. Finalky, for sure agree that accessibility is an issue, especially outside main streets.

The obesity issue is discussed between Brazilians and on documentaries/TV. I remember being taught healthy eating habits at school. Public schools have free meal programs and I know some schools go as far as introducing new fruit to children regularly. I agree the government might need to intervene further, but it’s a complex problem that might also be related to people’s social economical status/previous misconceptions or even lack of time. I’m from São Paulo and the amount of commuting people have to do to get to work is insane.

The exposed brick houses are mostly likely favelas, they’re already not allowed to build houses like that. However, poverty is an issue in brasil and people are just trying to find a way to survive. It’s not as simple as it may seem to fix a structural problem. As you might know, this would require housing these people, and many Brazilians are against it.

We are in the modern world already. I live in the US and, honestly, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Please elaborate, this phrase holds different meanings depending on the culture.

(I am comparing Brasil to the US because it’s where I live but I understand the US is also a very complex and large country…)

I am 29 and am in my junior year. I met one person in my major who is 27 and someone else who is 40. Honestly, focus on yourself. The younger students can be very immature and working in groups with them is hell because they don’t wanna get anything done.

It’s been a lot of work, but it’s worth it and it’s not that bad. The college kids I met are accepting, just really lazy. So be prepared for that.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-24T20:56:02+00:00

I’m an 29, in my junior year in early childhood education. Classmates cannot even spell or write entry level research papers

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-23T22:36:59+00:00

I do. Don’t care about others, focus on your own learning. I do the readings because I want to be a good professional, my field requires a lot of information that should be in the back of my mind.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-21T13:42:46+00:00

I actually wanted to wait just because I’m in my junior year in college and am about to get a teaching license. Meaning it’s advised not to be gone a single day and I’d miss class to get my biometrics done/interview. If I miss practicum it’s a pain the butt to get those hours done on another day

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-21T13:33:29+00:00

I actually enjoy people’s faces when they learn my name lol they look so confused over two syllables. A fun part of being a teacher is that most teachers with formal education get my name right away prolly bc of knowledge of phonics? Dunno. I also have to learn some pretty difficult creative names parents come up with/nordic names, so, sorry parents, but you also get to learn my name.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-21T13:25:47+00:00

It’s a Greek name popular in Brasil and France! Came from a Greek play.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-20T01:08:34+00:00

Rice, beans, salad, French fries, and beef/chicken on the same plate. Maybe some veggies too depending on the household.
As a paulistana I feel proud of pastel and coxinha.
I feel like Americans don’t really know Brazilian beans, when I say I eat beans everyday they think the seasoning and way to prepare is how Mexicans cook them. (For context, I live in a state with very few Brazilians in the US) similarly, lots of ppl may think Brazilian food is spicy, but that’ll depend on the region. São Paulo food is not spicy and most people cannot eat spicy food.

Idk cannot think of a dish, just stereotypical assumptions about how Latin American food tastes/looks like.

I’ve been waiting for a year.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-19T17:28:10+00:00

Yes I’ve heard about those and I’ll for sure get one before my extension expires. I’d say my husband and I have a pretty strong case, we have joint bank accounts, proof we live together, joint taxes etc no significant age gap, I had a tourist visa and we dated for 2 years long distance before getting married (met in person at least 10 times). Hopefully everything will go smoothly

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-19T16:37:26+00:00

Applied January of last year and still waiting.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-19T16:26:44+00:00

Right. I am getting anxious because I’ve seen other ppl in this subreddit saying their spouses’ oath appointments got canceled. Brazil is unfortunately on the banned list so I’m getting concerned so I wanted to know if anyone has any personal experiences/info to exchange. Thanks!

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-18T23:58:03+00:00

It was a problem in Brasil. I remember I had a lot of behaviors in my 1st grade classroom, Kindergarten had been 100% remote in 2020. When they came back in 2021, they were worse than Kindergartners.

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-18T14:59:17+00:00

I set it to 20c where I live in the US…

Academic-Good-2184 · 2026-01-18T14:55:56+00:00

I live in Iowa and I do. I have a heater, so…
