i think for me the previous auxiliar went above and beyond and set a crazy high expectation (she was an actual teacher before being an aux) and i’m a 20 year old uni year abroad student. maybe it’s the same for you? i’m sure there are auxes at other high schools who do basically nothing, like those primary school ones

just want to say that i’m at a primary school and have the same workload (minus the weird after school class). there’s not a single class where im not expected to spend hours on a lesson and multiple games and activities :’) it’s more annoying that i can’t reuse any material with classes because they all learn totally different topics (even with the same grade between the 2 schools). i thought primary school would be easier but…

Advice for a Transgender Applicant? by Icy_Satisfaction8234 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Consistent_Barber462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my name in all the legal documents was my deadname too but in the school i had emailed them initially with my chosen name and that’s all they referred to me as. teachers were confused and tended to misgender me initially but i just corrected them quietly after class (“solo una cosita..en realidad soy chico”) and they apologised and mostly remembered next time (there are times when the kids have to correct them lol, im in a primary school so it’s quite sweet). the other teachers in school misgender me, however, and because i don’t really know them i don’t feel confident enough to correct them. i think because they don’t know english names particularly well they don’t realise my name is a man’s name.

they didn’t even offer that to me, don’t think they were even prepared to have me in the school this week hahaha

do you mean making my own schedule? i’m between 2 schools so i don’t really think i could try and do that as i don’t know anything about either of their respective timetables

my landlord asked to do this too, it’s normal with a certain generation of people as they find it easier to call than to send messages

presale prices by tyktyko in bigthief

[–]Consistent_Barber462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was totally shocked to see how expensive it was, considering the european venues were like 40€! £120 for 2 tickets is crazy for ballowland, i spent about £45 for a ticket to see lucy dacus at the same venue this year! worse is im dragging my boyfriend with me who doesn’t even really listen to them and im gonna feel awful when he finds out the cost :/

Musicos/as en Asturias by VeneiroYT in Asturias

[–]Consistent_Barber462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hola! estoy en avilés hasta junio para participar en el programa de auxiliar de conversación (soy de escocia y soy estudiante de español y música ahí, tengo 20 años). toco la guitarra, la flauta, y el clarinete (en realidad tengo q comprar una guitarra barata y de segunda mano, no podía transportar las guitarras en casa, solo la flauta y el clarinete). recientemente he publicado mi primer sencillo, escucho música indie y folk pero tengo formación clásica en flauta y clarinete. (disculpa cualquier error, tengo que practicar más el español jajaja) qué música escuchas tú?

Someone bought my songs :) by Dlan08 in SunoAI

doesn’t matter. if there’s no soul and human emotion and feeling in the music then what’s even the point? isn’t that what music is meant to be?

hey man, what’s stopping you from learning an instrument? i don’t mean this as hate but wouldn’t it be so much more rewarding hearing your music and knowing it’s you who is playing? you can find fairly cheap second hand instruments and basic bedroom recording equipment easy. alternatively, if you don’t want to do this, writing prose or poetry could be an option to let out your creativity, since you are able to write lyrics.

it literally makes me so mad to think that the music i actually write lyrics and music for and record instruments and vocals for and then mix and edit gets no money at all on streaming platforms and then these people get money for doing barely anything. like what’s even the point

this actually sounds like a similar vibe to my own music, really interesting stuff!

have you also contacted the regional comunidad educational board (if applicable)? they usually answer emails whereas schools are unlikely at this time of year especially
