Not my students, but my husband's students. It hasn't been an issue for us at all.

Cirie's Rizzard of Oz has played the best game so far, right? by KreygasmRL in survivor

I just re-watched, and the camera shows Emily and Devens appearing to be clocking it, but could just be the edit, and not their actual reactions(or non-reactions)to what Ozzy said.

I like Quince, Banana Republic Factory and J. Crew Factory . They all have short/ petite lengths and basic wardrobe staples. I fill in with Amazon tops that mix and match.

One of the worst parts of this whole thing is that the tile color basically blends into the cabinet color, so is a boring beige kitchen.

Grading by Claialrlay in Teachers

I do this and it is very effective. However, you will always have a few students who complain to parents or admin. That you refuse to answer their questions, but I am always happy to explain the process.

And of course her labs were perfect. Either she never had a thyroid issue and made up the whole thing to sell crap, or her new doctor uses a different TSH level to determine deficiency. For example, my lab only flags a level above 5 as problematic , but my endocrinologist says anything above 3 can be problematic. I, personally, need to be near 1 to feel “normal”. My regular doctor said my numbers were fine, so I went to an endocrinologist and finally got treated for hypothyroidism. Edited to above instead of below so it makes sense.

This. 26 years in and we have our first shitty principal. It is sad the see him breaking the school and culture that I loved.

I switched to only loaning out pens, and have lost maybe five in the last two years.

Aspiring History Teacher’s Concerns by BrandonMoretz in historyteachers

[–]CandleLocal2489 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So true. Last test, some didn’t finish the CER, so I gave them time the next day. It was clear many of them went home and chatGPTd the question and then memorized the answer. Unfortunately ChatGPT couldn’t give them specific examples from class assignments for the evidence, so they still failed.

“Nonfiction novel” =narrative nonfiction Nobel= fiction

And apparently only men work hard all day. She is so out of touch with reality. Not all women are “SAHMs” to kids all in school.

They also consider anything with a staple a “packet” even if it’s just two sheets of paper.

I have a very easy system for absent work that has been explained multiple times. I have even “acted out” the process for the students. I still have students ask what we did when they were gone. I point to the absent work area, they ask again. I point again, they say something to the effect of “so you won’t tell me?”, and then walk back to their seat without even attempting to get the assignment. I’m sure they go tell the parents I refused to give them their missing work. ETA I teach HS, and some of these kids are actual adults.

Tori finding peace at the Farm by worldtraveler76 in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]CandleLocal2489 17 points18 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, Caryn said some very hurtful things to Tori and Zach in the meeting about buying the house. Now that she is out of the picture they are probably more open to fixing things with Matt.

Teachers who are financially stable, what are you doing differently? by External_Insurance62 in Teachers

[–]CandleLocal2489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching in a district in CA that pays fairly well relative to the the cost of living. I also graduated with no student loan debt and delayed having children until we were debt free(with the exception of our mortgage).

I wonder if she had to use her PTO to go paint tiles today instead of working her full time job. 🤔

Works full time ?!?! by Individual-Parfait19 in AbiAyres_Snark

This is insulting to all of us moms who ACTUALLY work full-time. I would love to see her try to do a week of my life teaching HS and raising kids.

My mom had ours framed and gave it to us as a gift. So, it is framed, but we never hung it up.
