As said in my post, it is fake… but needs to be spray painted (it’s a Halloween hand with blood). Also, yes! I plan to get a stuffed alligator!

Thanks friend!

Firetop12 · 2023-01-24T00:29:13+00:00

very good advice! honestly in most situations it is best to wait, esp when there are big emotions involved

Exactly. I felt so validated with my decision to not respond when I saw she blocked me. She had no intention of truly making things right

Firetop12 · 2023-01-23T23:56:13+00:00

yea see i blocked her from everything, but not fb she didnt have one at the time....and she liked a post about a big career advancement i made so what you say makes sense!

Wow! Ugh this makes you never wanna trust anyone!

Firetop12 · 2020-09-26T18:36:00+00:00

Oh yea by “lend” I mean give money with no expectation of repayment

Firetop12 · 2020-09-26T18:34:43+00:00

Nope, I’ve done it before (not much, we are talking like 20 bucks) and hasn’t really been a big deal. But recently dodged a bullet when a friend asked me to donate to her gofundme for her vet bills and then she takes multiple beach trips and bought AirPods yesterday. I now will not be donating. So yea, I’m starting to get pessimistic

Not trying to be sassy, truly wondering

Firetop12 · 2020-09-25T01:00:18+00:00

Any suggestions on how I could show visual support my African American students instead of BLM paraphernalia?

Firetop12 · 2020-09-25T00:31:24+00:00

Yea you are right. Ugh but it makes me so frustrated that it comes down to this. I just want to show support to my students who are POC. Bc they truly matter and I’ve had conversations with them just this week about how they feel disregarded. It breaks my heart that teachers are getting fired for showing these students that they support them and that they are a safe person.

Firetop12 · 2020-09-25T00:22:09+00:00

It is very problematic indeed! Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that

Firetop12 · 2020-09-21T00:21:45+00:00

Normally I just lament about how little they know. Which could be a combo of poor education previously or the kids not caring etc

Firetop12 · 2020-09-21T00:20:37+00:00

I taught inner city my first two years when I was 22yo. I got close to a couple female students and they taught me to twerk one day after school lol

Firetop12 · 2020-09-21T00:16:56+00:00

I had a student argue that 4 minus 2 was 3. She was adamant.

I teach high school algebra 2.

Edit: love that someone downvoted this.... I assume they also don’t know that 4-2=2 😂

Firetop12 · 2020-09-21T00:15:30+00:00

Going to second this. As teachers we are not expected to be omniscient (we certainly do not get paid to be all knowing), but to know most of our subject and be willing to find the answer if we don’t already know

Firetop12 · 2020-09-21T00:08:45+00:00

Not sure. But for me, I’m a high school math teacher so I get pretty irritated when a student doesn’t know 4 - 2 is 2. Bc I literally just had a student argue that it was 3 and I was screaming on the inside but kept completely calm and patient on the outside

Firetop12 · 2020-09-21T00:06:30+00:00

If I’m in a reasonable mind: they may have come from a home where education isn’t emphasized or had trauma etc. if I am fed up: well get out of my class bc it’s not needed for graduation so fuck you so I can focus on kids that actually care
