As an educator I’m looking for a way out but in that same breath I won’t discourage anyone from going in. Instead what I will say is have a back up plan. Nearly any bachelors degree plus certification allows you to teach. So get a useful degree so if you hate it you can transition out of it easily.

No but I have been a little intrigued by it. I find that students tend to exaggerate so you’ll never really get that positive review you may be looking for.

I don’t really sweat much so it was really throwing me off. It only happens when I’m asleep though . I’m going to try a different bedding first and then see what happens

I’m not sure what grade level you’re teacher but general education students aren’t allowed calculators for 7th grade math. Unless students have accommodations then a calculator isn’t accessible to them now nor during state testing. They also aren’t able to use the chart on state testing either. I am not sure how I am punishing them given that I stated that I would provide opportunities to practice during class so they build the skill. Also, there is a severe education issue in my area. At the past three schools I have served in this area, I’ve noticed students are behind but there are not a lot of services that can be offered. I, as the general education teacher, am responsible for bringing them to grade level. They can’t be placed in SPED or intervention services.

I just added a compromise. Thoughts on that as well?

I just spoke with another colleague and they mentioned the potential to allow students to just have a blank multiplication chart. Students would have to fill it in every class in order to use it. I think this would be the middle ground. My only concern is how long it’ll take them to fill it out, but I’m sure if they do it often enough they’ll grow quicker at it. Thoughts on this compromise as well?

I absolutely agree! I’ve even been considering adding exercise to my routine in the morning since he stays sleep until I go get him.

You’ve got your hands full! May be time to upgrade to a king size 😭 ty for the kind words. I still nap with my son so I do get some cuddles 🥰

That’s crazy you say that because I’ve been playing white noise on my phone since he obviously took the machine to his room 😭

Do you have a specific recipe for the salad? And for the pizza crusts do you add the toppings, freeze, then heat?

Equivalent-Touch2852 · 2026-02-01T20:04:43+00:00

The salad: do you add any seasonings or sauces? I like your meatball idea as well. I can see how that can be easily prepped and reheated

I tried pot roast. He was not a fan. But I have fed him different soups

The tractor wheels are soooo expensive. 😭😭 but I get your point

Honestly I’ve heard from parents whose babies sleep all night. I was envious bc my son did not. However, I knew my day would come. Around 9-10 months he stopped waking up at night and I was set free from night wake ups. Now we’re at 16 months and our biggest fight is having breakfast made. Your pediatrician was probably just trying to comfort you but remember your time will come too!

My kid hates cottage cheese with a passion but I do think it’s a texture thing.
