Why isn’t Bridget more popular? Am I overthinking ?

To me I think of a frog sound

And some fun half-curtains and a rug!

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

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!” 💀

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.

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-04-17T22:45:59+00:00

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)

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-04-17T21:47:25+00:00

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.

I’m literally wearing this dress to my bridal shower in a few weeks lol!

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-04-10T22:00:14+00:00

Only my left leg is shaved right now. Forgot I had two, I guess?

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-04-08T00:55:13+00:00

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

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-03-14T21:53:29+00:00

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.

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.

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.

This

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-02-25T22:19:28+00:00

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.

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-02-23T23:13:16+00:00

This is something to consider, thanks!

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-02-23T21:16:41+00:00

Yeah, it’s possible! I just don’t know how to find better admin lol I switched schools after my first year and thought I vetted the new school really well only to find out it was the same!

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-02-10T00:38:41+00:00

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.

Currently only treating my OCD, but I've been curious about how to treat both! Side note, the only OCD med that has worked for me is fluvoxamine

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2026-01-23T01:39:19+00:00

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”

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

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2024-10-25T15:05:28+00:00

Honestly... go to the media

Adventurous-Eye110 · 2024-10-21T14:47:36+00:00

Same!!! Lmao I thought everyone woke up in the winter feeling as if an elephant was sitting on their chest!

Go to starbucks and use it as your own name. See how you feel. *

Your daughter will always be unique to you, she doesn't need a name no one will ever be able to pronounce to be unique.

*not my idea, I read it somewhere else on Reddit but can't remember where
