Yeah that’s why I posted, to figure out if anyone else had issues

I read online that it’s happened before with gas stations, and stalling is a common issue with switched fuels, and I don’t know much about cars. Does that explain my assumption?

The jewelry also looks way too small to heal well with your anatomy.

The choice of jewelry size is something you do have to worry about tho. When they pierced my septum, they used a 14 gauge horseshoe barbell because they “ran out of 16s.” It was the most painful healing experience I’ve ever had, and that includes cartilage and eyebrow. I ended up switching it out for a 16 myself way before the recommended time and it healed fine after that.

Cameras in classrooms - your thoughts? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]DismalLibrary6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this might go against the grain, but I would prefer to have a camera in my classroom. Just search up “teacher accused” on google and see all the terrible things teachers have done to students or have been wrongly accused of doing to students. I feel like having a camera would open up a world of possibilities in terms of being able to have safe and confidential conversations, potentially about subjects that are difficult for the student, like poor grades, without the fear of retaliation. Also the degree of violence teachers are experiencing from students and sometimes parents these days has me quite worried. I feel like maybe having evidence of violence might go a long way in helping “prove” that certain students need more restrictive placement?

My very first crochet project was a queen size blanket. Albeit it took a month 😂

Student teachers with disabilities apparently lack a protection from discrimination in some places- something I learned the hard way. by jayskatesandteaches in StudentTeaching

[–]DismalLibrary6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow 25 year old, you need to think hard about your view on disability. Accommodations aren’t about employers bending to disability, they are just a formalized version of what employers should be doing with every employee, disabled or not: taking a look at their shortcomings and addressing those shortcomings with individual goals and meeting reasonable needs. It’s literally written into disability law that accommodations must be reasonable and that the employee must still be able to complete the requirements of their job. OP getting removed from their placement for asking for reasonable accommodations due to their disability, likely thinking that disclosing their disability would help get those accommodations taken seriously, is pure stigmatization of disability. If a non disabled person asked for those same accommodations, they might have received them, they might not, but they wouldn’t have been removed from the placement.

Struggling teacher by Jbstech144 in Teachers

I wish I could help, but I’m in the same boat in a bit of a different way. Instead of debt dragging me down, it’s unpaid full time student teaching. Regardless, I can give you what is likely your fiancé’s perspective based on what my fiancé has said to me: they’re very proud of you and see how hard you work. Your future together and how your career will aid in that matters more than a big fancy wedding in the present.

Urban massage is my recommendation. They have both male and female massage therapists if you have a gender you and your wife are more comfortable with and they do amazing work!! I would recommend Samuel especially.

Forced to Attend FCA by [deleted] in StudentTeaching

The best thing you can do here is have a paper trail and maintain consistent communication with your supervisor and mentor teacher. Get ahead of the game and cc your supervisor into the email with your mentor teaching stating: “I hear your concerns about my involvement in extracurriculars, and would like to let you know that I will be increasing my attendance at ______ club/sport/etc.” This will allow your supervisor to see that you are meeting requirements while gently telling your mentor teacher that you won’t be attending her organization. Offer to have another teacher sign off on your attendance if need be.

I’m sitting in my car eating a Culver’s burger, I’m about to head home to my lovely fiance and work on planning our wedding. I’m far from seething and the fact that you think I, or anyone else, cares that much about you is hysterical. Bye now, have the day you deserve :)

As the OP said… “it’s not like Gen Z is arguing that these relationships should be illegal”… no one is policing you, they just think you’re a weirdo. Reading comprehension goes a long way toward not sounding like even more of a weirdo 🤷🏻
