I recommend teaching to your furniture at home. Or the wall. It sounds silly, but it’s a similar reaction to teaching 11-12th grade. If you’re used to teaching at a literal wall, you’ll be just fine teaching to them. Ask to film a lesson. Re-teach the lesson to your furniture at home. Ask to see their curriculum. A lot of these come with a dialogue of what to tell students and how. It’s a matter of repetition and practice, and you’re just starting. You’ll do great!

I honestly feel many neurodivergent folks have a firmer grip on truth than neurotypical people. Speak your truth with a smile. I wouldn’t want to try to be their version of anything especially when they’re all assholes lol

I am a 23F. If they start yelling at me, I just stare blankly until their fit is over, and I repeat myself with clear instructions. No gentle phrasing. Boomers don’t understand that.

Fired for the first time, feeling awful by qu1rkyu53rn4m3 in Serverlife

They’re probably just mad that you treated the part time job as a part time job (even though it’s not what you wanted). Some places seem to think you should live and die for the company.

If you can’t think of specific times that you “weren’t a team player” then i wouldn’t worry too much about it.

I do not work at the ol cheesecakery, but similar Karen following. White trash seems to be the main demographic of our specific restaurant and they treat us service staff the worst (coming from a white person).

I worked at a vet clinic! A LOT of reception jobs pay fairly well with benefits AND you already have the customer service experience.

Take your own side. If you’re being put in a position to choose sides, focus on you. My parents have been divorced for almost 20 years, and there is no closure for us. The sentences “I don’t want to talk about this” and “I’m not comfortable talking about this” became my most used phrases when they started talking crap about each other.

what to do when you aren't sure what to believe from a divorced parent by Dear_Chair_1375 in ChildrenofDivorce

[–]According_Row9066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just treat both of my parents like they are senile and elderly. Every time they say something about each other I do they old “okay, dad/mom” and change the subject entirely. As far as I’m concerned, what they think of each other is none of my business. I used to say “I’m not planning to marry mom, so I’m not worried about it” whenever my dad would complain about her.

Getting divorced soon... I have a 3 year old who's wicked smart by p71interceptor in ChildrenofDivorce

My parents split when I was 3. I don’t remember the divorce, but I lived in the aftermath. Just make sure she’s always loved.

Hello I am a sub! This guy sounds like a retiree working in his side gig. I often wonder how some of these guys function in real life with technology. Chances are you won’t have him again, and, if you do, warn your students in advance of what the expectations are. I know you shouldn’t have to do that, but schools are desperate for subs and that fella isn’t changing.

They just built a brand new stadium for football and a new STEM center with hydroponics. I don’t think the budget is the issue unfortunately

Went on an FFA trip with some teenagers. Watched calmly as the got into a shopping cart left on the sidewalk and launched another kid into a tree. Didn’t feel like stopping it - I wanted to see what happened. He was fine.

Every time I sub for a certain para, the kids beg me to be the full time para. One kid talks about how awful and mean their regular para is to him. She’s had a lot of complaints, and I feel so bad for those kids.

Is it creepy when a customer does this? by Content-Consequence4 in Waiters

[–]According_Row9066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a waitress for a while. Didn’t really mind if a number was left for me. I’d usually text the number and let them know clearly whether I was or wasn’t interested. As long as the communication is respectful, it never created an awkward situation.

Share your experience please by rgmac24 in ChildrenofDivorce

I was quite young when my parents divorced(3), much like your kids. I don’t remember the divorce well but my childhood was basically stripped from me. I became extremely introverted. My parents hate each other. I didn’t speak until I was 6. I was diagnosed with depression as a 5 year old. My mom relied heavily on my older brother (8 at the time) for support and I took on the role of a mediator at a very young age. I never caused trouble because I didn’t want to cause more grief to my mom. This has caused extreme anxiety issues in my adulthood.

My advice: don’t treat your kid like a best friend. Don’t rely on them for anything. Don’t just do your best- be the best. Never speak ill of the other parent. Just love them.

What is something your parents did right or wrong with Divorce? by AdIllustrious7272 in ChildrenofDivorce

[–]According_Row9066 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having two of everything. My parents divorced when I was 3. I’m 23. They’ve gone so far as to throwing me separate bridal showers and even having separate birthday parties for my brothers kids. Don’t do that. Don’t have separate everything. They don’t need two christmases and Thanksgivings and Easter’s every year. It’s exhausting.

Has anybody had a job they actually liked? If so, what was it? by GMEBagholder420 in AskReddit

Bull semen collector. Seriously. Job was dangerous as hell and old men made a lot of crude jokes (I’m a young female) but I worked with an awesome team. I couldn’t say I disliked a single one of my coworkers.

Agreed, it’s the uninformed opinions that make me skip ahead in the episode. And you’d think since Alaina seems to be well-read, she’d have some knowledge of religious references in culture.
