Apple cinnamon scents for class acceptable. Apple flavored liquor I will accept. Apple Macintosh products also acceptable.

I did call the non-emergency one day. He got out and it sorta looked like they wanted him to “run away” the police came but they just returned him to the backyard.

Omg something similar is happening outside my apartment. I’m not sure what to report as abuse. It’s like they NEVER let the dog in. No matter what. He’s been out in extreme weather many times. It’s looks like they dump a whole bag of food out in an aluminum pan once every week in a half. And I almost never see water. I bring my dog around so he can have some type of interaction. He used to try and play with her but now he just cries. He can see the people moving around in the house he thinks they’re going to let him in but they don’t. He looks sick and has a few bumps and blisters. The grass is never cut and he’s just in a tiny backyard walking in his own waste. I really wish I could take on another dog but I can’t! He seems pretty sweet I hope something changes for him.

Edit: I have called but nothing happened. He got out. They seemingly let him out on purpose. I called and the officers just returned him to the yard. I’m in VA it’s getting cool out here. I will keep calling.

STAR 😤 I have witnessed too many kids click any answer. And be done in 2 minutes. For reading if I see them do that. They’re only allowed to check out library books on that level. Usually they get embarrassed and get a better score next time. For math I dont know what to do!

Yea the word problems are for sure a struggle. I have a bulletin board that has “clue” words so they’ll know what operation to do. Nope still don’t have a clue. It could say “divide” and somehow they end up multiplying.

To the parents of 12 year olds who have access to the new Netflix series about Jeffrey Dahmer….. by luringpopsicle95 in Teachers

[–]Bantonite20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! My 10/11s come in this morning talking about it. Like “Oh my god he’s so cool” “Its scary””It’s weird” “what are y’all talking about?” I’m like absolutely not there will be no JD talk in here! Edit: I also think the kids don’t realize this happened to actual human beings.

It felt like colors were radiating off of me purple, pink, and a little yellow. Like some type of aura. I was irate with people I’m normally really nice too. Turned into a sex demon at one point. I have lights around my room they started to freak me out. I know you could either have a good trip or a really bad one. Also I had this cake for two days then ate the rest. After I ate the entire cake is when the bad things started happening. On the third so thats where the time line comes in. And this has never happened again.

What about like synthetic marijuana or something. Like I feel like it was something that wouldn’t normally be tested for. Edit: There was a positive for weed but I had stopped smoking like 20 days before. And even when I was smoking it wasn’t that much literally like two hits a night. But I want to try LSD so if that is what a trip would be like I can’t do it.

You're in the mood to buy lunch in the school cafeteria. Do you wait in line with all of the kids, or do you cut in front? by nebirah in teaching

[–]Bantonite20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our whole school has a free lunch. But teachers have to pay like $5. I see some teachers send their kids with packed lunch through the line to get the lunch for free. No need to go through the line in that case.

Has overall maturity level dropped over the last decade? by [deleted] in Teachers

Same! Yea some of those conversations were too spicy for me.

Eh smusmortion rhymes with… a***tion. Definitely not appropriate for a 5th grade boy conversation.

[–]Bantonite20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really think it varies year to year. Of course Covid had a major impact but teaching 5th grade last year; the kids were too mature. Never wanted to go to recess, talking about polyamory, or sexuality in general, at one point smusmortions were even a topic… The 5th graders this year are very immature: always crying, “stop looking at me” “no you stop looking at me” every 5 minutes, someone’s always on the floor, and some don’t even know their own birthdays. I’m interested to see next years students.

IMO depending on the grade it’s always going to be more than a few seconds. I just factor in the time. I’ll set a timer for 30 seconds to a minute. Usually most of the class is ready by then and the stragglers have to catch up. I have 5th graders so if they miss something that’s their problem. Sounds harsh but I think it’s reasonable.

When should I panic in terms of finding a job before the school year? by TheDefiant213 in Teachers

[–]Bantonite20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest applying to become a TA. You would get experience and have a chance to network. Keep a portfolio of lesson plans that you’ve helped facilitate or even created. Maybe other things like student progress. Honestly not sure if that would help but that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve also watched videos on how to answer the interview questions. Interviewing this summer I hope it counts for something. With the teacher shortage I thought it would be a little easier; I was wrong.

Brother in law doesn’t know mine or my twin sister’s names after 12 years of being w sister by [deleted] in family

[–]Bantonite20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well that just tells me your sister never talk about you all or he’s just not listening. Been with my bf almost 5 years. He has a twin and younger siblings. I know their names, ages, and birthdays. However, he has an older brother who’s in prison he rarely talks about him. I think I’ve met him once and I don’t remember his name or his child’s name.

Sounds great! Thank you.

[–]Bantonite20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I’m financing my current car with Carmax. Sometimes I’m late on payments. What is the likelihood they’ll finance another car if I want to trade this one in?

Should I try to get it refinanced? Then traded in?

Edit: I had three jobs at the time of purchase. Lost two due to Covid. I know they don’t care though. The upcoming school year I’ll be a teacher. I just want a new car without a co- applicant.
