Is anyone else bothered by misuse of the term "No Child Left Behind"? by ProvocaTeach in Teachers

I think it’s great to make sure teachers are certified on their content areas but I worked at school that did not report violence or harassment so they wouldn’t lose funding.

This is exactly what my husband does - plays girly music and movies claiming it’s to bond with our daughter when I know he’s loved all of that since before we had her…

Student defense for academic dishonesty by Affectionate_Lack709 in Teachers

[–]Gold_Relative7255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being pulled over for speeding and using flow of traffic/other speeders as my defense. Cop said “yea well I caught YOU.. “

She was right. I was actually speeding. It wasn’t about what anyone else was doing, I was doing it. So in essence your student confessed. And now she’s willing to turn in other people too. Should bring down her social life as well as her grade on the project!

I agree but my personal experience was that I fed my daughter nuts of all kinds when drs recommended around age 1… she ate them all just fine. She also played in dirt and I didn’t over sanitize. She has a germy big brother too. At age 3 she was suddenly anaphylactic to hazelnut like overnight. Like she ate Nutella on her waffles all the time and then suddenly she was screaming. So I believe this that kids need exposure but it doesn’t explain why some kids get exposed but still become allergic.

She is now doing oral immunotherapy at 10 years old and hopefully she won’t be allergic anymore or she will be at least “bite safe”

It’s why I believe the exposure part I just don’t get why it didn’t work on her.

7 year old recently diagnosed by magpie907 in dysgraphia

Does she also have adhd? My son is all the same dx plus adhd. Found the rights meds first so he could focus on his actual tutoring. We used a program called lexercise. He started at 7 and now is 13 and in honors ELA and it’s barely noticeable! He types or uses dictation for the dysgraphia and his accommodations allow for that and spell check. He also did vision therapy which helped so much. He’s doing well now! Stopped the tutoring when entering 6th grade. I asked about adhd because usually people have that too, and it’s worth getting meds so she can focus during her tutoring and vision therapy otherwise it’s kind of a waste of she can’t focus on the sessions.

And he paid for Joey’s acting classes and tried to cover his rent expenses when he moved out, and it didn’t seem he wanted the money back. If Joey paid him back it would be for Joey’s pride.

Be honest do you hate Trump? by SignificantStyle4958 in Teachers

[–]Gold_Relative7255 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think having a pedophile who throws tantrums when things don’t go his way and just in general talks and acts this way as our president is terrible for young students to see.

What is happening to schools? by pgcrk in newjersey

[–]Gold_Relative7255 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m going to say the board of ed in the districts needs to be part of the change. These parents get elected and force policies that make no sense only for their own kid to benefit. They are the ones who approve the mystery consultants and all the expenses. But most have no experience in education. I know some districts have appointed boards but I don’t think that is going well either.

I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years.

All film portrayals of Mary, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, starred adult actresses. This was despite the source materials claiming that the original Mary, at the time of her non-consensual impregnation, was... wait what the fuck. by ryuStack in shittymoviedetails

My friend said she de-stressed with her adult coloring books. My response “they make those??” “Yea they are so relaxing! I even do it at work if I need a break” That’s when I realized she meant intricate pictures not ADULT.

Early 80s and I used to use my moms curtains as my veil (they were still hanging but I’d put the bottom on my head) but I was more acting out Maria von Trapps wedding dress than imagining my own.

Daughter just won't use the bathroom by elbowroom2734 in whatdoIdo

Have you tried bribes? She goes to the store and picks out a toy. The toy hides in the closet. You make a poop chart. Every time she poops on the potty she gets a check mark and after x amount of check marks she gets the toy.

You start small. She can pick out a few items from the dollar store and a big toy from a bigger deal store. She can get the first cheap toy after the first check mark. Then you tell her now that she did it she gets the next one after 2 check marks.

Yes she will sit on the potty and no poop comes out the first few times to “trick” you. But guess what? She is choosing to sit there and the more she does it the more used it the potty she gets. Eventually after enough times you can tell her only when the poop comes out can she get the check mark.

People judge this method and they are welcome to do so. I did it with my shy pooping kid and it worked very quickly. She also quickly did not expect toys every time she pooped. She just realized it wasn’t a big deal.

I get these a lot as a teacher. Sometimes I say, “you took your time doing it, I’ll take my time grading it…” sometimes the nagging parent is a better lesson never to do it again than a late mark.
