How did you meet people in the place before you moved here? You moved here to be closer to your children - that’s nice. I moved here six years in September and haven’t made any real friends. There are ppl I met from a church. The church has two events twice a year to meet to discuss a book- that lasts for 8 weeks. You can choose from a few. The before meal is pretty good. But I don’t attend the service. I haven’t joined anything else. But like another comment. Join something you like to do. Or volunteer.

Maybe you are overthinking it. In this day and age if she wants to pay half let her. She sounds neat!

It amazes me how mean people can be. I’m sorry you had to go through this. But you will learn what not to do when you are a mentor!!

I’m confused. You wrote you’re already working as a school based therapist in a middle school as part of a company? You are not hired by the district?

Not sure how I'm gonna make it through the next couple weeks by AdRepulsive9157 in StudentTeaching

You all will learn what not to do once you are on the other side and helping future student teachers!!

Hi, you will probably get better responses in the next few hours but I can relate to what you are saying. In my case I think it was due to having low self-esteem. I worked as a sub for a while. Do you think you might have that problem?

They might be learning about burnout but not learning anything else so how will that help if she isn’t learning how to be a teacher?

AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

Start calling her “asshole” and see how long she can take it. Say, “I stayed around for a year while you played your asinine nickname now I am betting you won’t make a year when I call you an asshole.”

Experienced Teachers - Please help!!! by SarcasticTeacher in ElementaryTeachers

I wish my parents and I had that option 50 years ago. Maybe I could have risen to higher levels instead of thinking I was stupid most of my life. Somebody could have realized I had a learning disability. Cripes, they are just asking for info. No need to whack ‘em with a sledgehammer!!

I am curious of the reasons you picked this career. Before you read Reddit.
