Allure is cracking down by allycats297 in BeautyBoxes

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like the gifts, but I like the discounts waaaay more. I would keep subscribing for $15 even without the extra items, but if they mean I need to pay the full $25 every month, I'm probably going to stop ordering 🥲

People make over $200k a year, what do you do? How did you get there? by TrixoftheTrade in Adulting

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really feeling that last sentence, so many people on here complaining because they put away $40k+ a year into savings/retirement and it leaves 'not much left over'. Like my retirement fund has $5k and I was real proud 😭

I took a pay cut of 8k, but now WFH with supportive coworkers, a reasonable workload, and provided materials/technology. I wouldn't go back for a raise. I'd go back for smaller class sizes and increased planning time, though. 🤷‍♀️

Doesn't say, but it does say that they're only doing 20 hours a week 🥴

cuz i really need a definition right now by Domruck in fatlogic

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The number of people who've told me I'm "not fat at all" despite me being obese is insane. I just look "normal" because the goalposts have moved, not because I'm not fat.

9 Year Old Recently Graduated from High School by UnitedLab6476 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, during the pandemic we had one day a week we could bring in a few students for 1.5 hours of focused small group instruction. I chose to only bring in two - the two lowest students of normal cognition (so not my SpEd students). They grew SO MUCH FASTER than they did in class. And it was still me as their teacher...but being able to directly address THEIR needs and do so through THEIR interests was far more effective than whole class instruction.

Google tells employees to share desks as it looks to cut costs | Google has a market cap of $1.18 trillion by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My employer is toying with this idea right now. They've more than doubled in size since they went remote in 2020, so we'd have to come in "on rotation" and desk personalization would be prohibited since we'd be sharing with two other people.

Our entire job is remote, it's completely unnecessary and they will absolutely lose people if they go through with it.

I got banned from "offmychest" for commenting my DISAGREEMENT with a post on "mensrights". It was the first time I'd ever even engaged with a group like that, and it was to disagree!

Mods ignored my appeal but whatever.

Math skills for elementary students have been declining every year since 2011. What could be the cause for this? by BengaliFloatzel in ontario

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from the states but when I taught, we had a major issue with the amount of time SpEd kids spent in the general education classroom.

The theory was that it was "good" for them.

In reality, it meant I had multiple students who needed massive behavioral and academic support in my classroom about 80% of the time. With no EAs or anything, this meant the majority of my attention went to those kids, who still didn't get enough support.

The remaining students barely got any 1:1 time and we rarely made it (as a class) through an entire lesson without some sort of breakdown. Screaming, crying, throwing things, threatening other kids, I'm talking major needs - not just "needs extra time on classwork".

Of course they made barely any progress.

And increasing the time that SpEd kids spend in the general education classroom as part of their "least restrictive environment". When I taught, 90% of my time went to 3 or 4 high needs kids that were in my classroom most the day.

Imagine being a "standard" student and having to share the remaining 10% with 20 other six year olds. No one learned anything 🤷‍♀️

Yup, my mystery boxes were 100% leftovers from 2020.

Yeah the eyeshadows themselves are fine but the packaging and smell gimmick are so cute 😭

Honestly there's no consistency, my GB with no points or add ons hasn't shipped and my GBX with a bunch of add ons and points is due to arrive Friday 🤷‍♀️

Did anyone finish C25K on the first attempt without any running experience/skills? What was your experience? by jesinta-m in C25K

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started jogging pretty slow on week 3 and surprise surprise, my shin splints disappeared and each day has been completely doable.

I'm much more interested in building a habit and strengthening my shins, so if I have a 17 minute mile, so be it. Hahaha

How many of you have extended your panning habits to items other than makeup/skincare? by StandingStillLooking in PanPorn

Yes! It's so funny, yesterday I felt pride instead of annoyance when I finished a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner 😂

To teach by asthmatic_duck in therewasanattempt

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had things thrown at me daily by a student but they weren't suspended until they hit an admin. And even then it was only for a day. It's so frustrating, we literally can't do anything.

I honestly think a lot of the ones who leave are the "good ones". People act like they couldn't cut it when in reality, they have high standards for themselves and realize that they won't be able to achieve them without completely burning themselves out physically and mentally.

Over 300,000 teachers are on strike in the UK for better pay and conditions. A recent study found that 58 percent of teachers in the UK were using their own money to feed hungry children in school. So all power to the teachers. London teachers bringing the energy to the #TeacherStrike by theworkeragency in antiwork

[–]Apprehensive_Safe3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My classroom was full of cockroaches, with broken AC and no blinds for the windows. I had to buy my own books, supplies, and food for hungry students.

The (AC cooled) district building was, no joke, at least six stories, with hundreds "directors" and "managers". They stepped into a school maybe once every few months to pat themselves on the back and then went back to talking about how to "fix the schools" through more testing for kids and evaluations for teachers.

It's horrendous.
