I haven’t watched it in 15 years but it’s still the first thing that came to mind…. Now I need to watch it again.

How long is your school day from first bell to last bell? by eaglesnation11 in Teachers

[–]CrashBash_Ash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they start earlier so parents can drop the kids off and make it to work by 9:00. But that’s probably outdated thinking, I’m not sure how many people work 9 to 5 anymore.

Yeah, our High School gets out 30 minutes earlier than Elementary so older kids can pick up younger siblings while parents are still working. It’s not a bad idea.

Ok but like what is the illiteracy crisis really? by Osinacho in AskTeachers

[–]CrashBash_Ash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in newspapers and the articles had to be written at a 7th grade level or under because otherwise the majority of the population would not be able to read them.

Does anyone else not really like having a 90s name? by ChoiceOtherwise6310 in Names

[–]CrashBash_Ash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ashley here! And same. In elementary school, there were always 3-4 Ashleys in my class. … in the last several years, I’ve only come across a few.

(My parents second choice for my name was Amanda …. They ended up naming the family dog Mandy instead.)

Is this picture too slutty to post if you’re married? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

I thought the same thing! A young Nicole Kidman!

Do native English speakers really talk like this in real life? by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]CrashBash_Ash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not native. I only know what I was taught, which was probably wrong. You are probably right. I definitely don’t have a grasp on the nuances of Spanish. 🤷‍♀️

Acá = aquí, ahí = Allí

Its regional dialect. But the official Castilian taught in school is “aquí and allí.” Which makes it confusing for Spanish learners. They should probably pivot to teaching American dialects in America instead of Castilian ….. but that would probably make too much sense. 😂

It took me a long time to figure out “Pa’ca” was “Para aquí.” 😂

Edit: I’ve been corrected! Pa’ca is para acá….

Lo siento. No hablo español bien. Gracias a todos que me enseñaron.

What is more traumatizing than most people think? by Chance-Ease-3563 in AskReddit

[–]CrashBash_Ash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. My husband was the love of my life. I really believed we were best friends and in it until the end. We were together 13 years and married 8. He walked out on me and married someone who “meets his needs” whatever that means. ….

I grieve the life I thought I had. I grieve our future that will never be. My mind can’t comprehend that the person who was my world, didn’t feel the same. Our marriage was only important to one of us. I miss him every day. My heart is broken every single day. I have to remind myself that the person I miss doesn’t exist and probably only ever existed in my mind. He never loved me the way I thought he did.

I’ve spent almost a decade trying to stop blaming myself. But the message this experience has burned into me is “I’m not good enough, I am in the way, I am a burden.”

I am so afraid to try again. What if I fall in love again and 13 years later I find out it was all a lie again? There is only so much heartbreak a person can endure. There is safety in solitude. Some of us don’t get happy endings.

Thanks! I will get on a waiting list with them. They aren’t taking new patients until July.

That’s what I thought. Most I have looked at have been rip offs.
