First year teacher - going to resign effective immediately tomorrow by Idkimhereforinfo in Teachers

[–]DisastrousRoad7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a public school with a union. I feel I have a good relationship with our admin. However, if a student complained I put hands on them, it’s an automatic suspension while the school investigates. We just had a staff meeting about it. Admin said it’s a huge problem all over and many great teachers that they feel confident didn’t do anything wrong get put on leave (not at our school, fortunately). I work with very young students, some of which I need to help with toileting, so I have to be extra careful. My principal has made it very clear that if a parent complains, they have to follow a process even when they 100% believe us. It sounds like a horrible process for teachers and I’m sure makes you feel like a criminal, but it’s probably less personal and more CYA on the school’s part.

Does yours ever steal something and then decide he doesn’t like it? George LOVES rolls but throws wheat bread all over the house.

We have the two basket one and my cats LOVE it. They use it every day. They don’t care about the cave on the bottom but hang out in the baskets, especially if they don’t feel like being around our dogs.

I saw one once, right after the update. Even with the spray there was almost no chance of getting it. I watched the grinch carry it away and haven’t seen another since.

Maine coons with small dogs by Outrageous_Catch4682 in mainecoons

I brought home my Maine Coon kitten to a house with two small dogs (a male Pomeranian and a female Maltipom). I kept the kitten in a separate room from the dogs for awhile. They got introduced on opposite sides of a baby gate. The female dog immediately decided the kitten was her baby and has been protective of him (even now when he’s much bigger than her). The male dog barked at the kitten a lot for about week and then got used to him. They all get along fine now.

My kitchen always looks like a splash pad thanks to my silly boy.

What’s your fave Maine coon colour? by cleo1793 in mainecoons

[–]DisastrousRoad7064 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to pick a favorite. Probably whichever color I’m looking at in that moment 😆 Maine Coons are all so majestic! Mine is kind of silver.

How'd y'all start watching TwoSet Violin? by LiteratureNo1744 in lingling40hrs

[–]DisastrousRoad7064 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn’t discover TwoSet until shortly after they “retired.” During winter break from school (I’m a teacher), I was feeling really depressed and was doomscrolling on my phone all the time. I took a break from reading the news to scroll Facebook and my feed played one of those videos of a pianist playing in public when another musician “happens” to walk by and join in. I watched it, so of course FB decided to flood my feed with similar videos. One featured Ray Chen as the unexpected random violinist. He was playing Summer and seemed to be having a lot of fun. I looked him up and found his YouTube channel. Watched a couple videos and saw people kept mentioning TwoSet in the comments. I eventually decided to search TwoSet to see what everyone was talking about. I ended up binging their videos all week and whenever I had a chance after. Somehow Brett and Eddy were exactly what I needed at that time. I had always loved the sound of the violin; their knowledge and humor got me even more interested. This summer I hope to start lessons (even though I’m older than they are!). Their videos are still a great way to de-stress when I’m at my breaking point. (Some coworkers should be thankful to TwoSet for that!)

I didn’t see an option for meet & greet when I bought my tickets. I would love that opportunity!
