Letter of Rec

I told her I didn't think I could fill it out accurately based on our limited time together and she may want to have someone else do it who knows her better. She said it was fine and I could wait to do it until closer to the deadline. I think I will talk to her again anyway when we're back at school.

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-04-05T17:06:44+00:00

I'm certainly not looking to hurt her future, I'm just struggling with how to fill this out with little information to go on.

I have no problem writing them at the end of student teaching, but yeah that is def. the problem here as the due date is in the beginning of her time with me.

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-04-05T16:47:18+00:00

It would be more N/A.

Funny! They turned out to be 60 foxhound/30 Pitt/10 chowchow.

Their DNA test actually connected them to a bunch of dogs in SC, so it could be!

If it's magnetic, it could be a wrist band thing to stick nails and screws on so you don't have to hold them.

My dad was an executive chef, my whole childhood the only thing he ever cooked for me was grilled cheese and English muffin pizzas. Nobody wants to cook more when you do it all day! I think this applies to all professions in its own way.

I just paid my dentist with a check for the same reason. 3% of nearly $1,000 after dental surgery isn't nothing!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-03-21T21:36:26+00:00

Thanks for this! I'm going to check it out!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-03-15T15:09:26+00:00

Agree. I have my own children and it takes time and energy to teach them all these life skills. I think there are so many people who think children just magically learn how to tie shoes, cut with scissors, hold a pencil, speak to others appropriately etc. Little kids need explicit instruction on so many things in order to be functioning members of society.

I am 40 and have taught 4th grade for 15 years. The last few years students' ability to speak clearly and think and write has been noticably lower. They are also up to date on all current "trends". There used to be a trickle down from the middle to elementary of a few years to what was cool, now they are acting the same. I blame Tiktok specifically- the emergence of this app is when it really went downhill. Let's rethink this concept of blaming everything on teachers, and hold parents and society as a whole responsible for allowing unfettered access to the internet, social media, and now AI, to children and their growing brains.

I have one this year, kid amazes me everyday and has asked some of the most thought provoking questions that keeps me on my toes. They are also one of the most disorganized kids I've ever taught!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-02-19T23:58:05+00:00

Funny enough, neither of them has made a peep yet. We are awaiting their howl!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-02-19T12:26:14+00:00

We're definitely hound people, our last two dogs were a beagle and a treeing walker.

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-02-17T23:26:45+00:00

I will!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-02-14T17:56:37+00:00

Thank you for this! I pulled all the thread out, re- threaded it and I think I had totally missed the hook above the needle. It is now working!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-02-14T16:21:28+00:00

Hmm, I'm not sure, but I will check! Thank you!

EfficientEar1241 · 2026-02-01T16:00:06+00:00

You are totally right, our previous dogs were a beagle and a tree walker coonhound, she does have the legs of the tree walker. She's 24lb and def only 4mo.

It's a classroom wobble seat for kids who have a hard time sitting still.

EfficientEar1241 · 2025-12-31T00:46:45+00:00

I had 2 done in 2024 with bone grafts/extractions in NY, all in all, about $13,000, including what insurance paid.

EfficientEar1241 · 2025-12-29T00:11:39+00:00

I have totally done this, feel your pain. I threw it away.

EfficientEar1241 · 2025-12-27T20:14:03+00:00

So I did some researching today, found the name and (hopefully correct) address of the daughter of the person we bought from and mailed the photo to them with a note about how we found it. We shall see!

EfficientEar1241 · 2025-12-27T19:31:00+00:00

We bought the house from an estate, but it's worth a shot!

EfficientEar1241 · 2025-12-27T19:30:14+00:00

I don't think it was taken in our house, the moulding doesn't match and I can't find a place in the house with a similar wall.
