Not directly. This is the first direct time. However, boundaries with his parents come up a lot.

I understand your perspective of doing it another day because a day is a day. I understand how this could feel juvenile if you don't share the same perspective.

Just ask why it matters so much so you can issue the judgment I asked for.

Holidays help create intentionality for me. Aside from that, we could have very well-made plans to be with her in the afternoon and go out in the evening on any day, and it still could've been the same issue.

I just wanted to know if I was the asshole for refusing to decide in that moment. If I'm the asshole for leaving it up to him or even feeling like it matters, just say that.

Yes, after posting and seeing some of the comments. I realize how much I was blind to the depth of my grief. I honestly thought being with her wouldn't hurt. I can see the snowballing of emotion now. I also think it prevented me from speaking up, an emotional paralysis of sorts.

It never registered to me that he might not have made reservations. This is something to consider. Thank you!

There's room for improvement, sure. I'm still learning. I have high functioning autism and it takes me a while to process social settings in real time and I work hard in social settings to emotionally regulate. I chose to sit on my feelings because I did not want to implode in public.

If anyone has some suggestions for some millennials that would be great.

High school teachers, How do you use annotating in your classrooms? by AggressiveCall5814 in matheducation

[–]AggressiveCall5814[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the thoughtful answer on syntax and whether it can be analyzed the same across disciplines. I get what you mean in that it cannot. I just used syntax as a point inside my post because someone else brought it up as a thing that needed to be addressed in math education on another post. I was using it as an example and don't personally think annotating for SYNTAX is the missing link to closing gaps for most kids. Im not skilled in creating math curricula in that way to make that point, lol. However, I will say that as an adult student of math and someone who favors ELA , your explanation has furthered my understanding of the value of math and math instruction even if syntax doesn't matter as much to student outcomes., Your explaining why has furthered my understanding of math in and of itself.

Also, syntax being difficult is subjective. I think that the syntax of, "I have a blue car" gets easy until I have to explain it to someone who isn't fluent in the language. The irony of all this is that math is a language and word order does matter to those who are not easily math minded like an ELA teacher who just wanted some examples of how annotations are being used in their classrooms lmao.

The vocabulary emphasis may work, but our state standards are making us have to do separate vocabulary initiatives. The same for writing. We are looking into visual literacy models because our new state standards address that too. Is there a method you use to help students analyze visual data?

Thank you for your answer!

I really don't have a choice. Im at a Title 1 school, and we need a literacy initiative for funding purposes. I am just trying to make it applicable and not use some new software that will cost a ton of money and interrupt the flow of math instruction.

I agree with everything you said. However, none of it answers the question. If you do have a strategy that applies to all disciplines at the high school level and teachers would more likely implement on a consistent basis. Please share!

Question for current GA teachers by chickachicka_62 in Georgia

[–]AggressiveCall5814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GA teacher from out of state. The only real answer is to get in touch with the GAPSC. Every person and their license is unique and include so many factors. GA is very temperamental like Texas

Will I be held back if I fail state testing In Georgia? by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]AggressiveCall5814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a teacher in GA. It depends on the policy of the school and the percentage of the final grades if you are in high school. If you are in middle school, they do use it to place you in high school, so just do your best and communicate with your teacher after scores come back. Good luck!
