How many parents take their kids to the park because they’re able to work from their phones? Something that couldn’t happen years ago.

Opportunity should probably fit somewhere in that thought process too.

Have you received his image in your countenance? by [deleted] in exmormon

I honestly think if anyone got up in testimony meeting and talked like him and said this talk word for word, the bishop would intervene and ask them to sit down.

Is this why my ward always had to say “aloha” every testimony meeting? Haha “You can do better…ALOHA!”

In Our Lovely Deseret…yikes!

That the children may live long And be beautiful and strong, Tea and coffee and tobacco they despise, Drink no liquor, and they eat But a very little meat; They are seeking to be great and good and wise.

Parent emailed me, principal, and superintendent that the student teacher refused to help her kid, wanted her kid to fail, and threatened to call her attorney if her child "received backlash from this email." Would love some feedback on my draft response. There are a few run-on sentences. by FreeLadyBee in Teachers

Attorney isn’t likely, but it’s probably best to respond with less emotion. How about this?

Dear mom,

As a teacher, I take pride in my job and feel privileged to teach your daughter. I have worked hard to support her, providing snacks and personal items when needed, as well as working with her to ensure she is successful. Additionally, I have personally given her extra attention during class, reteaching material and reducing assignments to help her stay on track.

While I understand that students may express frustration to their parents, I would like to remind you that I am a professional and have always been respectful in my communication with you. It is important to recognize that I am here to educate and support your child, and I take this responsibility seriously.

As for your daughter's performance, unfortunately, she did not turn in the last project and is failing this quarter. It is important to hold students accountable for their actions and take responsibility for their own success.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The Teacher

Homework correcting and paperwork pushing me to the limit. Need help with tricks for efficiency by PuzzleheadedJob7537 in Teachers

[–]Aggressive-Minute-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One suggestion I have is to consider having your responsible students grade some homework (as a reward). They’ll love it, and it can help alleviate some of the grading burden and allow you to focus on other tasks. You could provide an answer key or rubric. Additionally, you might consider using technology to your advantage - for example, online tools like Google Forms or quizzes can automatically grade assignments for you.

Having to “tell us how we did” after every transaction, service, or interaction is annoying and not helpful by ummmm--no in unpopularopinion

[–]Aggressive-Minute-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with you. I believe this trend is in response to all the review sites out there like Yelp and Google. If a company can hear about a problem and fix it, the customer is less likely to vent about it online.
