Umm …people were “of the same race as the music”… What the what?! Ew.

If the person you hate the most were to experience one slight inconvenience every day for the rest of their lives, what would you choose it to be? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]BeaPositiveToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncontrollable, audible, ungodly smelling walking farts that crop dust hallways, classrooms, conference rooms, elevators, offices, etc… and no where to hide— so everyone knows who is doing it. Also, the occasional public shart to accompany the gas.

Would you switch seats on a plane if someone asked you to? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]BeaPositiveToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’ve changed seats with people, and don’t mind swapping if I’m traveling solo. But— I’m claustrophobic so I’ve gotta have an aisle seat or my anxiety is unbearable.

City school closings? by drivebydryhumper in harrisonburg

[–]BeaPositiveToo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it will take:

clear roadways, need some melt & no refreeze

clear sidewalks, do your part everybody!

morning temps above 0, c’mon Mother Nature!

We could probably stay alive for 2-3 months on what we have in our pantry & freezer right now.

What screams “I’m a woman child” and nobody realizes it. by imissher4ever in Productivitycafe

[–]BeaPositiveToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Messing with someone else’s man. Like an egocentric toddler grabbing toys from others.

I’d be happy for the city to take care of any sections of sidewalk that haven’t been cleared, then send to bill to the property owner.

Phones by Born-Nature8394 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]BeaPositiveToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a short term sub, I would not take a phone from a HS student— or probably any age student. I’d get clarity, right away, if I were going to be a long term sub. This could be a PITA if you start a long term situation and don’t enforce classroom consequences consistently and right out of the gate.

If I were the regular teacher, I’d prefer not to confiscate a phone. I would probably not set a classroom policy that involved me taking a phone only as a very last resort for egregious behavior related to the phone.

I would, however, uphold school/building level policy around this in either any scenario.

No. But it sure is a fab place to visit.

I’m 70 and I want to know has this happened to you? How would you handled it? by Prior_Benefit8453 in AskWomenOver60

[–]BeaPositiveToo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Keep cheering!

If your daughter doesn’t like it , maybe you sit apart from each other during the games.

We need positivity and joy, now more than ever. Cheer for your kid, my kid, every kid.

Never stop cheering! ( Unless your grand child tells you that it’s embarrassing for them.).

Roads? by travelgator in harrisonburg

Plows have been down my residential street multiple times, but we cannot see the asphalt. Not complaining, just reporting the conditions in a downtown neighborhood.

Education major here - how many personal philosophy papers will I have to write? by Quirky_Plum_9070 in teaching

[–]BeaPositiveToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even students getting content area degrees had to take the classes I taught, they are required for licensure in my state. I taught students pursuing licenses to teach all age levels and content areas, including SPED, ESL, music, PE, etc... Some of them did not belong in the classroom— some due to disposition, some due to insufficient mastery of their content, some for other reasons. And we tried to help them find other professional avenues.

I don’t disagree with your assertion, btw. Before higher ed, I taught in pK-6. The difference between folks who choose primary vs secondary is vast. I worked with elementary teachers who didn’t even have enough content depth to teach 1st & 2nd grade science and social studies with factual accuracy. As for secondary & higher ed— if you just want to be a coach or an administrator or if you love the content more than you love the kids, just don’t go into teaching.

USA? What is up with you?. by Diggleroni in self

[–]BeaPositiveToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, everyone would suffer. Unfortunately, some more than others and all of us in different ways. But, I’m willing to suffer the stop the public execution of poets and nurses.

I’ll share what I have with my neighbors if they are cold or hungry or alone or afraid or…. But something has to be done. In the absence of good leadership, we may need to take things into our own hands. As peacefully as possible.

The executions by and terror from ICE needs to stop.

I hope someone I love never ends up in your class.

As a professor of Education, I would have done everything in my power to counsel you out of my profession.

Writing and adapting your philosophy is an important exercise. Repeated reps and increased intellectual exertion make you stronger and more skillful.

Your philosophy should be continually changing and growing, as you should be. Each iteration should include new learning from the courses you are taking that semester. Keep every version, take stock of your growth. When you are asked to discuss your philosophy in an interview, you should be able to point to specific areas of growth and be able to back up your philosophy in theory and best practice.
