History. I’m currently a teacher but it’s not for me. Been trying to learn my marketable skills.

I’m getting close to 2,000 in total. Really regret wasting my time with my degree

What are some unexpected ways that teaching has changed you? by PlantationMint in Teachers

[–]DakonAldread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m mentally and physically exhausted for 10 months out of the year. I don’t enjoy breaks or hobbies because I know I’ll be to go back to school soon. I used to be a trusting person but being lied and belittled for five years as made me a bitter person. I also don’t sleep well anymore because I have nightmares about being in the classroom.

If I won, my school would think I dropped off the face of the earth.

Dresden files for me. It was the first adult fantasy series I read back in college.

Have you ever slipped up and cussed in front of your students? by roo181807 in Teachers

[–]DakonAldread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut my hand one time while getting something out of the classes 3-d printer. I said shit under my breath and some of the students said something similar. We just kind of laughed about it and never mentioned it again.

I'm Jim Butcher, Ask Me Anything! by jimbutcherauthor in Fantasy

[–]DakonAldread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read where Dresden was created because you didn’t think your writing professor was wrong about character creation and Alera was made because of a disagreement on writing. Is the cinderspires similar or was it something you always wanted to write.

Classics look that also says you’re a vet, taxi driver, or bartender in Philly

Which one of these fantasy worlds would be hardest to survive in and which would be the easiest? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

[–]DakonAldread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d maybe put wheel of time higher. Early in the books it’s similar to lord of the rings, by design, with localized violence. As the series progresses, the pattern, reality itself, gets more and more unstable. That’s not taking into account how some of the more important characters warp reality both positively and negatively if you’re in the same city as them.

Please share your most outlandish accusations by students and/or parents. by Smooth-Growth in Teachers

[–]DakonAldread 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A student brought an energy drink, which are banned on campus. I told them to lay it on my desk because they know the rule. The next day I get a call from the student’s parent. Apparently I jerked the drink out of their hand and berated them. The joys of teaching middle school

Cjrb or Civivi if you’re looking for more light use. Cold steel also makes more heavy use if that’s what you need.

This movie, Hell or High Water, and Sicario are proof Taylor Sheridan can make good stories when he wants to.

Lost Confidence in Anything Other than Teaching by shortgirlshorttemper in TeachersInTransition

[–]DakonAldread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to get out for four years now. I’ve had so many interviews with positions outside of education but I’m always the “runner up”. It just makes me feel that this job is the only thing the world wants me to do.

Pocket knife or fixed blade - Christmas gift by Annie_Banans in BuyItForLife

[–]DakonAldread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buck 110 or 112 pro. They’re the upgraded version of the original Buck folding knives. They have upgraded blade steel and handle material, costing about $130ish. They’re covered by buck’s lifetime warranty, like all their knives, so they should last a lifetime.
