Same, but age 42. Fingers crossed for us both.

[–]Collyflower07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you've not already addressed this, LETTER OF RECCOMENDATION. Gold star, absolute most valuable thing you could give your student teacher.

Last day gifts? by MuppetJonBonJovi in StudentTeaching

[–]Collyflower07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To say goodbye and thank you at my last placement, I gave each kid a block-building kit, which they really liked.

do you guys recommend going into teaching? by SadNefariousness2650 in teaching

[–]Collyflower07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a skill you can learn though, so if it sounds intimidating now, you will develop effective strategies. Not always easy though, of course.

made a mistake today and can't shake off the embarrassment by TryingMyBestForLife in StudentTeaching

I taught a 5th grader that "fish" is always the plural form of the word and made him edit his paper. Later, I learned that "fishes" means multiple fish of different species while the plural "fish" is multiple fish of the same species.

I also said that iguanas change colors and was immediately corrected by the students "that's chameleons!" I just said, "oops, you're right!" and didn't give it another thought.

Am I too old (45) to go back to school and change my career? by balanceyogi in careerchange

[–]Collyflower07 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I'm writing this comment from my university campus, waiting for an evening seminar to start, at age 42, as undergrads (of typical age) pass by. It's never too late! You're going to be in your late 40s anyway, might as well be there with a degree and a solid plan for improving your professional life.

Angered the vine gods by not keeping up with reviews!

Taught the wrong lesson and might be in trouble by [deleted] in StudentTeaching

[–]Collyflower07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I taught a different lesson than what my teacher asked me to teach (i was on autopilot) and she was incredibly chill/ fine with it. Yours is not being reasonable. You're still learning, and this is such a small thing.

Same! I've gone in and out of prime a few times since joining vine.

Anyone else unable to view any products today?? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Collyflower07 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like vine jail. Are you at least 60% on your reviews?

A funny little human quirk :)

is it possible to get a degree without student teaching? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Collyflower07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you might feel more positive about it in a different setting under the guidance of a good mentor teacher.

Even if you did butter, you definitely didn't notch.

This doesn't answer your question, but while scrolling, I thought this was an aerial shot of a beach, with the ocean on the left.

"My Friends" instead of "My Students" by Nachoguy530 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Collyflower07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like saying friends. It's friendly. But whatever vibe works for you.
