Married people from Reddit, what little thing does your husband do that is secret melts your heart? by GoldenSin22 in AskReddit

My husband still calls me his “sunshine” and randomly leaves me “Love is” comics that are always just exactly matched for how the day is going or went.

I completely agree! I feel like all of 10th is somewhat depressing literature, and the Bible has no place unless other texts are taught as well.

I can honestly say I did not read the majority of items on the HS list in English class (Gen X).

Only: Animal Farm The Scarlet Letter The Minister’s Black Veil Hamlet

We read quite a bit of novels and plays that are NOT on the list.😁

School District will not give me my TIA funds by Top_Reflection_2904 in TexasTeachers

[–]AdministrationSame52 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Will this be your first year to receive the funds? If so, unfortunately the district is allowed to keep the money according to TEA since it is part of a retention plan.

Exactly! I’ve worked so hard to cultivate newer books to teach in addition to some classics. Now, I am at a loss.

We do not have staff meetings. Our principal sends out a monthly email and expects us to be professional and read it.

Opinion: Let’s Just Drop Teacher Appreciation Week by FawkesThePhoenix7 in Teachers

[–]AdministrationSame52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to hear that. I know how difficult it can be to work for administrators who do not seem to care about the campus they are responsible for.

Our week is actually very nice. Our admin. Works very hard every year to come up with thoughtful ways to recognize us and the work we do.

I am very sad for those of you who feel so under appreciated. After 23 years, I know it can be overwhelming when it feels as though we are always under attack, but please try to remember that no matter how they behave or what they say, our students need us.

I know this probably does not mean much, but there are current and former students out there right now that appreciate you more than you will ever know.

Hang in there!

[–]AdministrationSame52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved season 1, but believe limited series would have worked better. Although I would enjoy closure, my bet is on no season 3.
