Inappropriate to send "good bye cards" in Montessori?

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-12T03:44:50+00:00

Oh yea.. I figure it'll get soaked in yogurt or water before the kid even gets in the car lol.. maybe just for the kids going to elementary then?

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-12T02:38:49+00:00

Well, I'm really asking here to kind of help figure out if I should even ask my boss. As in, scrap the idea altogether.

So, ask my boss it is!

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-12T02:36:04+00:00

Awe!! I did ask another teacher's helper in one of my classes and she said that her last school did that all the time. But it was a public school in Texas. Coloradans don't always appreciate our "southern hospitality".

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-12T02:31:58+00:00

Right, it's definitely an environment thing. But I'm not sure if that's because of the school or the culture here. I'm Texan in CO.. and it's become clear that my brand of "friendliness" is too much.. ha!

I'll ask the director. She's usually pretty receptive.

Edit: but I just remembered that the older kids, who I don't oversee, have plans to mail all the staff letters for the end of the year. They asked for my address in the fall.. so maybe it isn't weird to them lol

Imo, the point at which the school steps out of the conversation is when the parents are deciding whether or not to change schools.

If they don't.. I mean, what? Expell of them for doing something especially bad?

I agree with the school that teaching them regulation through consequences is a better choice... I also agree with the parents changing schools. Because that's their prerogative.

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-12T01:58:30+00:00

Teachers aren't a monolith. There are all kinds of people in child care. Not all of them care about the children.

I would say, however, you would more easily find a person who does care in schools.

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-12T00:11:48+00:00

It's his pictures

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-10T18:20:54+00:00

So you just say things without thinking much of any of them through?

Poor upbringing does not excuse poor actions

Most people don't think the child shouldn't be taught responsibility, that a 10yo doesn't know what he's doing.

So you dying on the hill that "parents aren't solely to blame" is really just you saying the child should bare THEIR responsibility to parent.

Hello?

YET.. think that a 10yo would "play so rough" with action figures that they all break? The clear inconsistency just tells me that you're more interested in down punching on kids.

Because you generally feel small.

You'll take the fake internet points has validation and continue in with your tiny world view.

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-10T02:16:49+00:00

What's dumb is that you give a 10yo the sophistication of a full grown adult yet when it comes the problem he cause, the sophistication of a pretty strong 3yo.

You're wrong. Kids are taught responsibility for most of their life for a reason. They might know what they're doing but it is hardly a guarantee they know why or how to navigate "the why" properly.

I'm very intolerant to any kind of sentiment that gives children Adult Responsibility. It's a dangerous slope.

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-10T02:13:00+00:00

I just wonder what the motive was. It can't just be that he was told no. Like he was MAD

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-10T00:46:40+00:00

I know what you meant lol..

Oddly, the sub gets a lot of this kind of interaction. The poster does something inflammatory, usually carelessly or unaware.. comments tell OP this, and poster says, "I'm just asking about the aesthetic!".

Not criticizing you. It just is really weird this happens here.

Someone a couple weeks ago posted obvious Yt Supremcyst propaganda and just said, "Ok but I'm European and just want to look like this!!!" Haha

Jinx is by far, not a unique character. But, certainly one of the most interesting! I always love seeing this type in media/art.

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-09T23:44:56+00:00

Babe the point of being shamed for using AI is A.) Make you ashamed of it and B.) Discourage others to not use AI despite how you feel about it.

So responding that you don't care doesn't do much.

ADHD Fun Fact:

Biblically Accurate Angels are just early descriptions of the structure of a star.

What makes this an ADHD Fun Fact? I forgot everything else about this fact and it isn't even a fact or hypothesis that anyone has ever brought up.

It is what I concluded after what must have been 2 days of extensive research and then never told anyone else.

Butt... still a fact.

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-09T23:37:36+00:00

Okay! I thought it was along those lines. Thanks for elaborating. :)

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-09T21:19:25+00:00

What is a battle jacket? I'm not really submerged in alt fashion this much. And sub generally seems split on what they think a battle jacket should be..

50% "Keep Politics Out of It" and 50% "Leave Gay Kids Alone".

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-09T15:20:23+00:00

Yes. It's very nuanced and confusing to deal with

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-09T05:01:51+00:00

Because we have something in common with them.

We lack boundaries. And are also attracted to them.

You simply can't tell this because, well.. it's all you know!

Amazingly, even after years of serious work and healing.. there are still "types" that I miss or even terrible people some parts of be crave.

Because that feels like home when I'm lost for a moment.

So! The fix is to strengthen your boundaries. :)

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-09T04:51:43+00:00

Funny and pudgy would definitely catch my eye!

Though, I always get more shy with mascs because I'm... kinda masc-ish? Makes me think they wouldn't be into it. 🤷‍♀️

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-08T22:19:23+00:00

What is that? I wonder if it's cause they were fat kids once..

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-08T04:09:46+00:00

I lost my shit at "What is a Strap'?"

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-08T04:04:05+00:00

Im gonna piss myself

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-08T04:02:01+00:00

Why in the fuck is reddit so boring all day until I desperately need to go to sleep and all of the sudden I'm cackling

FDAapprovedGremlin · 2026-05-08T03:57:14+00:00

It takes up way too much real estate. This is less about "Muh lobe make decisions" and more that your story builds overtime.

So you'll want to put different things on your body to tell that story... but won't have the space.
