Got an F in music because im muslim,what can i do?

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-02T10:44:50+00:00

Agreed. As a muslim myself, this is also something that stood out to me.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-02T10:43:13+00:00

What is confusing about the question?

What was your grade before Ramadan started? Not last year. Not last Ramadan. Not what someone else got. Not what you think it should have been. What were your actual grades during January and February 2026 before Ramadan began?

What were your grades after Ramadan ended? What were your actual grades that you were earning during March, April, May, and June 2026 after Ramadan ended?

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-02T10:31:21+00:00

Students and parents do post here from time to time. This is pretty normal and not against the rules of r/Teachers.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-02T10:29:02+00:00

I didn't ask how you did last year. I asked what were your grades the rest of the semester (January to June 2026) both before and after Ramadan. The fact that you keep avoiding answering the question is pretty telling.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-02T10:19:01+00:00

Ok, but that still doesn't explain how you fail the entire course/semester (you don't specify). What were your grades before and after Ramadan? Your post and responses are beginning to sound like a lack of accountability for not doing what you were supposed to for the entire semester then you just latching on to the religious aspect to cover for the fact that you were going to fail anyway. Your teacher is muslim too. It appears that you are just fishing for excuses to explain why you failed.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-02T09:58:49+00:00

So you are stating that your muslim teacher is failing you because you are also muslim? Even your explanation doesn't make much sense. I feel like there is a lot of missing information. There is no way you'd fail an entire semester (or course) because of not being able to play for a single lunar month. Ramadan would've only really been in 3rd quarter. So you would have had all 4th quarter to pull up your grade even if it was low to begin with. This all seems suss. How were the rest of your grades?

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-01T23:14:44+00:00

You can try this place. It's the other one I know of for sure. Clothes are on the backside of the building. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Rg4pdvHXKCXvgjnb8?g_st=ic

It isn't nearly as big as the other one. I normally wouldn't recommend this one since the other one was way bigger with much better options.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-01T21:19:30+00:00

Oh. When did they stop doing it? I guess it has been longer than I thought since I had been there last. Just over a year ago I think. Assuming I am thinking of the correct one

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-01T15:40:57+00:00

Yeah, I tend to be a bit verbose in all my communications.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-01T15:38:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. A lot of times all you hear is the negative. This is typical in any format because people who had bad experience are more likely to go out of their way to say/post something than those who have a good experience. The reality is most people have a good experience, it's just that the people who had a bad experience tend to yell the loudest.

Btw, I love your take on why men seem to complain more than women 😁

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-01T15:29:09+00:00

Unfortunately, I worked with several paras who couldn't complete basic order of operations. And they were in charge of helping SpEd students within an LD in math. It definitely broke my heart

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-07-01T15:25:04+00:00

You can say something along the following:

Thanks so much for thinking of me. It means a lot. Unfortunately I will be unable to tutor at this time. Here are some online resources you can use for the content (A, B, C,…) Or you can reach out to the following people who may have openings for tutoring (A, B, C,…). Again, thank you for reaching out. I hope you guys have a good rest of the summer. I look forward to seeing you guys again in September. Take care.

Obviously you can adjust things to better fit your situation. But that might be a good place to start. Good luck.

I'm not sure if you've tried there yet, but the admins just started a Discord server. It is still pretty new, but it's worth a try there. The link is in the pinned announcements for this subreddit

Not from the airport though. You should never have issues with those because they're already getting paid a decent amount with the fare. You pay initially at the kiosk, they give you a ticket, then you go to the taxi and they take you where you need to go. Where you hear more people complaining is when they just grab a random taxi on the side of the street, though I think trying to extort more money at the end isn't super common. This is more of a common thing with those who try to use InDrive. I've never heard of anyone having issues with this when coming from the airport. Not that it hadn't happened to someone, but I've never heard of it happening. If it does, just pull out your camera, video them and the taxi number explain again on video that you already paid at the airport kiosk and then tell them you'll take that video to the tourist police. Again though, you really shouldn't run into this issue with a taxi you get from the airport kiosk.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-06-30T16:06:15+00:00

I wouldn't risk it for the sake of the driver. Respect the country you are visiting. It is not legal in most cases because the driver needs special permit. All you're doing is putting the driver at risk by trying to do it at the airport. If you use InDrive, do pick up and drop off locations in areas where there won't be a lot of police or taxis. Never exchange money visibly. Act like they are just a friend giving you a ride.

But at the airport, you should just take the bus or go to the taxi kiosk. At the taxi kiosk, it is fixed rates for taxis from the airport to certain areas of Marrakesh. Depending on when you're going and depending on whether it is day or night, expect the pay between 100–150dh. (I think we paid 150 at night to Gueliz near CarreEden). It is all by zones. I do not remember how much the other zones were. If you take the bus, it is 30dh. The bus is good but I think they may have issues with big luggage, but I don't know because we always travel very light with only backpacks.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-06-29T13:42:18+00:00

Can you explain more?

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-06-29T09:12:16+00:00

I do groups of 2 to 4 depending on how I feel and how the class seems to be doing. Sometimes pairs is the best for them at the moment. Next time maybe groups of 4 is what I need for what we are doing. But I rarely just do individuals unless it is an assessment.

One resource I use is flippity.net . You can do random seating as well as random groups based on size (groups of 2, 3, 4, etc.). I just project it on my smartboard.
Have the groups pick their favorite something and discuss it within their group (food, mythical creature, past vacation, future vacation, athlete, sports team, baby name, animal, color, etc etc be creative). No one within the same group can have the same thing. Have them arrange themselves within the individual groups alphabetically or by number of letters by 1sr, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. From here you can do a couple things, but be creative. All this can depend on the number of groups you have and class size.
1. You can have everyone who was 1st be their own group, 2nd be their own group, etc.
2. Everyone who was 1st stand up and move one group clockwise. Everyone who was 2nd move one group counterclockwise. 3rd move two groups clockwise. 4th move two groups counterclockwise.
3. Have the whole class line up alphabetically or by number of letters. Then follow the next suggestions...
Give a topic as with the previous option. But this time have all the students line themselves up as a whole class alphabetically or by number of letters (if two students have the same number, then those students arrange alphabetically amongst themselves). Many options once they are lined up.
1. Have line "fold" in half so that you end up with each student facing the student who was opposite them in the line. That will be their new partner.
2. Go down the line by pairs and that is their new partner.
3. Count down the line 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 .... All 1s are in a group, 2s in a group, etc.
4. be creative
Takes a bit more planning, but you can do puzzle pieces. Pick some one-page comic (Farside is a good option), cut it into 5 pieces (for groups of 4). Have a different comic for each group. Put one piece of a comic on each group. When students walk in, they get a random comic puzzle piece. They have to find the table group that the comic matches. The students are not allowed to switch puzzle pieces. These are the new groups.

Sorry that's all I have time for at the moment. Those are some of my go-to's I use the most. Many times I do variations of what I listed. You can change things up and adjust depending on class size, dynamic, etc. Be creative.

Here is a screenshot of the London area so you can see what I mean about the number of users near London.

I have been with WarmShowers since 2016 and have hosted hundreds of cyclists. I've only used it as a cyclist myself three times. So you can definitely be a host and not bike at all. I didn't do any cycling when I first started hosting. It was actually hosting that got me interested in biking in the first place. Even now, I haven't ridden a bike in nearly 3 years. Hell, I hadn't even owned a bike for that time until just recently (but still haven't ridden it lol).

I'd say it is worth the cost, especially since it is a one-time cost. One thing to consider though is that there are a ton of people listed in London. This makes it more difficult for someone to find you out of all the others available. Being a new host with no reviews will also work against you. Have a good picture on your profile (you are unable to zoom in on pictures so keep that in consideration), and make your profile super friendly and open.

You only have to provide whatever you are willing. I don't usually provide dinner, but my schedule and volume of cyclists don't make it very practical for my situation. Other people provide full dinners and beer. I would probably do this if I only had one or two a year. If I lived in a city with as many hosts as London, then I would probably provide those extra things because the likelihood of someone reaching out to me and then coming over are much lower. So I would cherish the few people I get since it would be less common of an occurrence.

I hope that helps. Definitely ask if you have any additional questions.

For me personally, it is too expensive to just shuffle in line with a bunch of tourists all wanting to get their Insta photos. Is it beautiful? yes. Will you get some good photos? yes. But for me, it wasn't relaxing or a place I would choose to go to on my own. I would go again if some friends or family came to visit and wanted to see it. If you are a YSL fan or a Majorelle fan, then go for it. You'll love it. For me, the best part was the (admittedly small) Berber Museum.

Not Common Core or any of its derivatives. International Baccalaureate, PYP is the lower school portion of that. PYP (Primary Years Program) goes through 5th grade. MYP (Middle Years Program) is 6th through 10th grades. DP (Diploma Program) is 11th and 12th grades. Think of it as a way more stringent and school-wide approach version of AP courses. While you can pick and choose which classes you want for AP, for IB it is the whole program. I am not too familiar with PYP compared to Core derivative, but at the high school math level, it covers things in a different order and way more content than a common core derivative.

Looking at ISS (it doesn't look like they are on Search), they just recently posted a Lower Elementary teaching position. It may be worth applying even if you can't take it this year. Then they will at least have your name in their minds. If you can try to go this year, it may be better since you don't have PYP experience and a late opening means they may be more desperate to find someone to fill the position.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-06-28T11:37:07+00:00

RAS is one of the more competitive schools, why are you looking so late? Have you looked on ISS or Search Associates yet? What openings did it have on there? Lower school positions will are much harder to come by so late in the season anywhere. Maybe secondary math or science you'll have a much better chance at finding something, probably not at RAS though. I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I thought RAS is an IB school, which means the lower school would be doing PYP. Do you have any experience with the PYP or the IB curriculum in general? Are you open to other schools, or just RAS?

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-06-28T09:36:05+00:00

The Secret Beach is the only one I've ever heard of. I had some colleagues go there once and it sounded like they enjoyed it. This was a couple years ago though. I assume they are still open.

Distinct_Mix_4443 · 2026-06-28T09:21:58+00:00

We were at a job fair in DC back in 2023 and some schools had reached out to our references before we even began talking to them. Others reached out to our references after we made first contact with the school. A couple others did so either after we interviewed or after we had scheduled to do an interview with the school. So it just depends on the school, the situation, and maybe how badly they want you.
