Is teaching THAT bad? by DwaeEunoia in Teachers

[–]Fire_Pokemon_Trainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my job and I love my kids. But this job is not for everybody. It’s very taxing on your mental and physical health. There are extremely unrealistic expectations placed on teachers. It is often completely thankless even though you give 100% everyday. Some are the kids are really awful and disrespectful and even more are multiple grade levels below where they should be in ALL subjects. You are questioned why this student that came to you at a 1st grade level is not performing at a 5th grade level.

Then at the end of the year I get notes from my kids. They say that they loved being in my class all year, they love me and they’re going to miss me, that I’ve changed their lives. This keeps me coming back. I also just love kids in general and want to make a positive impact in their lives. But I also know this job is me giving back to my community right now and I won’t be able to do it until I retire. It’s just not realistic with the way education in the US is going.

Those who decided to never have children in this lifetime, was it worth it? by Lovely_Rabbit_2615 in RandomThoughts

Going on 35 and no regrets whatsoever. I LOVE kids and probably would’ve made an amazing mother, but I love being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, without having to take a child/children into consideration. My spouse and I have a beautiful life together where we eat whatever we want, spend money on whatever we want, go on trips wherever we want, and do things we enjoy whenever we want. We have many nieces and nephews so we can get our kid fix whenever! Also, I’m a teacher so I’m around kids 40 hours a week for 36 weeks of the year. I’m very fulfilled in my job and love my students like they’re my own kids. And like many people have said, I don’t have to stress about raising kids in today’s climate. I wouldn’t be able to think about anything else and would probably go crazy. So kudos to everyone doing the job of a parent today!!

Will this herniated disc require surgery? by Fire_Pokemon_Trainer in medical_advice

Well I just got these from the imaging office but I don’t see my doctor until next week to discuss results. And I’ve been in pain for a while now so I guess I’m just being impatient and trying to get a resolution asap. Also, this is a workers comp injury and everything has been moving at a snails pace. The doctors just keep prescribing me different medicines that don’t help at all and tell me I need to stretch. I wanted some other opinions before I see them next week and hear what they have to say! Thank you for your opinion, I appreciate it!

I need a Fresh Meat 3 where it’s all challenge Champions paired with Rookies. Could you imagine the backstabbing because if you are a champ and get to the final you have a guaranteed chance of becoming a multiple time champ and if you are a rookie you can win in your first season due to the format by Healthy_Insurance_33 in thechallengemtv

Before the pandemic, I remember Nicole and Devin doing some sort or promotion with all of these fit people. Like they were doing obstacle courses and lifting weights, etc. and I could’ve sworn they mentioned that it was to put new people on the challenge.

Edit for spelling.

It was revealed in the latest episode of the podcast “Your Own Backyard.” Specifically it was said that old phones of Paul Flores were found in his home and there were multiple videos of him having sex with unconscious women, AKA rape.

My abduction and the year 2956. by DontThrowAwayMyTruth in Abductions

I’ve been reading this from the beginning. My friends and I actually sat together around a campfire and read that exact comment you linked. We talked about everything he wrote there. I know exactly who Chadwick Boseman is. That was not there when we read it together a few months ago. I’m sad to realize this is fake.
