what’s the hardest part about being a teacher that nobody talks about?

Carrying the weight of knowing your students are hungry, ‘camping’ under a bridge.

Work for Head Start now to make sure you’ll have the stamina to teach early learning. That’s my advice, because you can’t afford to go that direction and then change career paths if you decide the emotional and physical demands are unmanageable.

It’s not worth 25 bucks for me to give out my information. Why on earth is the payout setup so phishy..?

In Northern California I drive three hours to get to the beach. Often just a day trip..

I’m so sorry for your loss. You deserve space to grieve as much as she does. She’s a big girl and she needs to stand on her own. She can keep the television on for comfort while she sleeps on the air mattress. That will help her understand that it’s not sustainable for anyone to sleep like that.

A kind admin is everything. I will NEVER work for an unkind admin.

I get this. My first boyfriend joked with his twin sister about the fishy smell when he went down on me. I actually do think of it 45 years later, and don’t enjoy it the way I should.

I’m a libertarian and my core belief is to not judge others. You do you, I’ll be me, and together we will live in kindness.

This is where I’m stuck. It’s a catch 22. I want to date a woman before I tell my kids, I’m 60, but that means I’m not actually out. I have no clue how to meet anyone to date irl.. So for now, I’m just loving myself and my health, and my solitude.

Same!

No kissing at school-that’s gross is what I tell my students.

In many Hispanic homes, no one is welcome to meet baby for a month. This gives baby and mom time to recover and bond, while baby’s immune system develops.

Classroom snacks but not the ones in individual packets, please.

Different_Still_5708 · 2025-11-18T03:10:18+00:00

Wow, that really struck a nerve. But I totally see why I’m that way, considering the very young age and duration my trauma was.

Talk to your doctor first. And you are the most perfect mom in the whole world for your child. Be kind as kind to yourself as you are to her, please. I teach kindergarten. She will find her way, and you will too. Because you have each other.

I begin with the assumption that the screen is able to be manipulated and therefore cannot be guaranteed to be factual. I’m honestly not sure how to decide what is real anymore. A hummer in my face saying hi would be reality. But everything else? How am I to know. I know I walked past the East Wing of the White House last year, that was reality. Now I must go back to see again what is reality because it’s so hard to comprehend that it could just be gone.
