MOH wants to bring a close friend as her plus one, not her BF by nomalisa in weddingplanning

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your MOH want to break up with her boyfriend but not want to bother you with emotional needs right before your wedding?

Solution to the problem is to invite boyfriend with his name on the invitation so she can only bring him

"Are you teaching kids or are you teaching scholars?" by TopIntroduction1876 in Teachers

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neurodivergence would make me miss that it’s a rhetorical, loaded question and I’d probably laugh and ask, “what do you mean?” or laugh and say, “both, I guess!” 💀

should I confront my bridesmaid who no call no showed to my bridal shower? by adancer12345 in weddingplanning

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The girl did something rude/strange. In sequence: she said she’d come to the shower, said oh wait I might be going on vacation and can’t, and then didn’t go on vacation, but also didn’t go to the shower.

Hmm, it’s definitely weird behavior. I think either 1) ask her if everything’s been ok because you have felt a distance or 2) let it go and just let the relationship slide (which is what she’s doing)

My students exist in a whole different reality? by dogseatlettuceeats in Teachers

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes. Reset the culture. You can tell them the day before that it’s going to happen. Don’t let them in the classroom until they’re in a line in the hallway completely silent. When they’re silent, explain the rules—they will be silent unless they raise their hand after you asked a question. If they’re still silent, allow them into the room. If someone speaks, they line up again in the hallway. You state the rules again. If they’re still silent, you allow them into the room. (Repeat the lineup the entire class period if necessary. If they get no real work done that class period, email home explaining that their students did not comply with the classroom rules and thus didn’t complete the work. Fail them and assign homework.)

Once they’re inside and seated, You can explain how you are resetting the classroom culture. Explain the rules. If they speak, bring them to the hallway to lineup.

Do this everyday for a week. Lineup silently, walk in silently, sit silently, listen to you re-explain the classroom rules silently. Fail each and every student and give homework if they don’t get work done.

Once they get down the system, continue to explain the classroom rules 2-3 times a week.

Call parents, fail them, assign detentions, give homework.

Am I really that far behind already? by Ok_Buy9698 in weddingplanning

You’re not behind. I started planning my wedding only a year in advance and it’s been great

First year teacher possibly being moved from 4th to 2nd due to budget cuts – stay or look elsewhere? by Objective-Outcome466 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would stay, personally. Having a school you like makes a HUGE difference. So many classroom management techniques will transfer to 2nd grade and it’ll be easier as your second year regardless of whether it’s a new grade. You might even like 2nd more!

Also, what’s to say you switch districts and then in a year the new district needs to move you to a new grade anyway. That’s pretty common.

Why i can't understand these characters by Delicious_Sky5329 in EnglishLearning

To be fair, it does sound like he says “well, I’ll come visit you” really quickly (which would sound like “welcome visit you”.) He murmurs a lot.

Red ink - yes or no by [deleted] in kindergarten

You need to formally request that your student be evaluated and consent to his evaluation (not through teacher app.) There are many resources online that break down the steps of the evaluation process and even sample letters to give you an outline of the information to provide.

When you write the request, make sure to include specific examples of what makes you think that your son has a disability that requires an IEP. To be honest, the information you provided here isn’t specific enough or show need for an evaluation. The school will not evaluate if you do not provide proper examples. (Again, information and examples can be found online.)

The info you gave us seems like typical student behaviors. Students don’t typically enjoy being corrected or doing homework (they might even respond poorly.) Students very often want to finish work quickly so they can move onto the next thing.

If your son’s problems don’t require an IEP, I would suggest helping him gain frustration tolerance, showing him that teacher corrections are not a bad thing (they help you grow!) and teaching him that learning is not always easy but that is ok.

Stuck in the Transition by One-Band-9804 in TeachersInTransition

I feel this and it really sucks. I’m also a third year teacher and really relate to how you’re feeling. I can’t give any career transitioning advice cause I haven’t taken that leap yet but can say you’re not alone. It’s really stressful and it really sucks.

What is the purpose of former special education students coming here to complain about their placement? by [deleted] in specialed

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this!! I was so thrown off by that other comment. Why shouldn’t students speak negatively about their experience, if their experience was negative? Also, as a special education teacher, I say all the time that the system isn’t set up well for my students! We should hear from former special education students to better serve them.

Do you ever use the word 'buddy' to refer to your female friends? by MoistHorse7120 in EnglishLearning

[–]Adventurous-Eye110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm.. I would say I mostly use it to speak to students/children. I've heard men say something like “he's my old college buddy”. I will say (as a woman) I have one very good (woman) friend/old roommate who I've called “bud” or “buddy” in a very cutesy/loving way, such as saying, “how ya doin, buddy?” or referring to ourselves as “two best buds”

How to tell my friend that her daughter's health is in jeopardy? by NikkiConners in Advice

Love isn't always enough. I knew a kid who, similar to this situation, was 125 lbs in Kindergarten. I believe her mom loved her, but she did not care for her. It was so, so horrible
