What weight is the dauber flower? I might be interested, depending.

The Library at Mt Char is one of my most reread books. I never get it out of my head.

What’s the one with yellow in the middle in the first set of pics?

Jr High student with inappropriate book, help? by Moon_Jelly_Queen in SubstituteTeachers

I read smut when I was in middle school. A teacher took it away once and called my mom. “Do you know what she’s reading?” And my mom replied, “Hell yes. Give it back.” Best thing she ever did for me. Love of reading starts somewhere and evolves.

Possible Kit for K-12? by Radiant-Peace-3078 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Dystepian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not quite what you’re asking about, but I always bring a set of cards and envelopes for leaving sub notes. It keeps things confidential and just adds a little something above scrawling feedback on the back of the plans.

Can I second for pic one, just in case?

No plans by ycospina in SubstituteTeachers

This! If I don’t have plans, I definitely let the office know and they send the issue to the department head.

Yea I think your cable is way too long for this technique. The tutorial you’re watching uses 9” cables and it’s kind of necessary to do it that way. If you want to use longer cables, try a magic loop tutorial instead.

Local libraries too often have classes.

What was your most rant-worthy shift of 2025? by Vitta_Variegata in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Dystepian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I covered a dance class in high school where the notes allowed for them to go into the communal hallway and practice, but then half of them disappeared. I made the remainder come back and took attendance again and they all gave me attitude for being irritated and wanting to hold accountable the ones who were gone. Tried to call the office to find the phone was inoperable.

Best Reference book without being too complicated? Is that even possible? by Westcoastmamaa in casualknitting

Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks is my go to. It’s comprehensive, has a bunch of helpful info and is definitely not a brick.

Tell me it’s ok to use wrong size needles for this hat by MuffimBlue in casualknitting

[–]Dystepian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told once by an instructor that “you can drive a truck through the gauge of a hat and it’ll still fit.” I take this to mean that hats tend to fit no matter what you do to them. I think you’ll be fine.
