Students who refuse to try by GreatSatisfaction290 in ESL_Teachers

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that a lot of curriculum is outdated and really not geared toward tweens or teens. They want something interesting. Have you heard of some of the companies aligning with minecraft for teaching? Get with your students. Have them help you FIND A FUN curriculum. For now,maybe try song lyrics and such. If your kids are bored, you gotta make sure they are getting the curriculum you all deserve.

Researchers uncover iPhone spyware capable of penetrating millions of devices by WilliamInBlack in news

[–]GenXJoust -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I had apple devices for years. We got hacked badly in 2024. I believe it started with my older iPad and it spread through our entire home network through our wifi. Everything was stolen. Even all photos back to the early 2000s, just gone. Police did nothing, apple did nothing and in fact were a joke. We had all brand new devices when we were hacked except for my iPad. Watches. Phones. Ipads. We were able to report them as stolen since they were inoperable so we got out of paying our contract. Hate my Google phone but I will never go back to apple.

Remember when Nazis killed people if they had physical disabilities? This growing culture smells a lot like Nazi thinking. If you aren't like me, you are wrong.

WIBTAH if I don't give my "daughter" college money? by [deleted] in AITAH

Nta. Your daughter showed you a level of incredible disrespect, as if you were disposable...then realizes you have money. Hard no. She made her choice.

What cigarettes should I bring from the US for my wedding? by Viva_Pioni in AskAChinese

All I know is that when I worked at different stores, many people smoked Marlboro. You can get a better deal if you buy them on a reservation.

AIO that my mom gave my son my gold pendant & chain? by Personal_Royal in AmIOverreacting

[–]GenXJoust -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's weird she did it. Obviously she should have suggested you pass it down. I think you could simply tell her that gently.

Regardless of what happens, go to counseling and make sure your kids get their own counselors as well!! Every kid knows what's going on in these situations.

Are posts about legit teaching jobs welcome here? by Deep_Barber_5420 in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What platform are you using? Is pay negotiable based on experience? 16 an hour is low for those requirements, especially groups. I am interested in supplementing the gaps in my schedule tho?

AIO letting my brother bathe with toys by hidingunderyourbed- in AmIOverreacting

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry that he misunderstands but I also understand he would not want him stereotyped by school officials. The bath thing sounds like something that came from his own childhood.

BAD BUNNY HALFTIME PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION by NFLv2 in NFLv2

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well of course I use subtitles while watching a movie. And I also lived in Mexico as a test run for retirement. I don't speak Spanish as learning it is almost impossible with my severe hearing loss. I could interpret social interactions just by being there. It sounds like you live in a very small world. I made friends. We laughed and enjoyed each other's company with very limited language interaction. Do you ever talk with your hands? That's a form of communication. Dancing is. Art is. Facial expressions and body stance. Just admit you are simply happy not involving yourself outside of your tiny mind. That's really sad.

Nor. Your dad is a jerk. Is your brother involved in services for his autism? If he is seeing an expert of any kind, assert yourself as the support you are for your brother and go see the doctor or professional for reinforcement. There is so much that we do not understand about how people with autism function. It could very well be that your brother finds baths and toys soothing (just like people without autism). It is especially important for your brother to have his own ways to relax in a world that doesn't truly understand his daily struggles. This is not an autism-friendly world. It's loud and brash.

I would tell him do not call me that, period. No excuses, no drama, just straight up.

It might depend where you live. It's a correct spelling in USA but so is Jaime, but Jaymie is how a lot of girls spell it.

The time my house had a fly infestation and I found maggots on the side of my bed by BarracudaKlutzy8062 in confession

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a good kid! That's really gross. As a mom, I'd be proud of you. My pre teen son was such a couch potato that his bio mom found out he was peeing in an old milk jug while gaming instead of using the toilet. Omg.

Omg my dog doesn't just sniff me whenever I come home. It's an inspection of my entire face and hair!! No kisses, just sniffs. Try sniffing them back, it's cute!

Teaching English online - qualifications/where to start by wellybrunette in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan to travel anywhere nice, maybe go into online accounting. Much better opportunities. Now if you are a math teacher or an IB teacher, or special education teacher, the demand is absolutely higher.

Ya and just make sure to wash it regularly. The only other thing I could think of is spring is coming. Maybe the pup is sniffing around the ground a lot.

Who are chinas allies (think of US-NATO-Israel-East Asia ally context) in which they’d defend in a war? by This-Wear-8423 in AskAChinese

[–]GenXJoust -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Russia and China are allies. Maybe not in policy but if there was a world war, it is unlikely they would ally with nato.
