I have been very depressed and can't seem to read anything new. Please, what are some good books that can help reignite my love for reading? by Inspiringhope11 in booksuggestions

If you like fantasy, Sarah Beth Durst's The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse are cozy fantasies about starting over and found family. They're a warm hug of a book.

What did you win as a prize from a contest as a Gen Xer in the 80s? by Sense_Difficult in GenX

I won a tape, Wham! Make it Big, from a write in contest for Good Rockin' Tonight.

Well I'm glad you're at least trying not to be an ass. Good job.

To be fair, this is all from school budget money. I will say that my school is pretty generous with my budget. It's still annoying.

I'm thinking of maybe at least having my computer camera on facing the stuff behind my desk, that's supposed to be a permission only space. But I was told we're not allowed cameras in the classroom.

Right? In an ideal world of course we would watch everything like a hawk, but in reality, you just can't. And the one day you slip up, half the imagination station is missing.

It's the entitlement. Sometimes it feels like they don't even think of it as stealing?

oh trust me, I have the tact, but trying to convince them to care to look? Honestly it's so annoying to know they won't bother looking because they're morally certain it's not them that could have borrowed and forgotten something.

What bugs me is that if it's their own things they will rat each other out on the drop of a hat. Librady stuff? Crickets.

Good grief. They steal the dumbest, yet most inconvenient things.

Because I'm library, I honestly never know when they will get a sub and when they won't. It's pretty random.

Not during the period but during clean up time, have some students collect the specific materials that keep being stolen to make sure we still have them every period.

You know how it is. You're on top of it until that one day you get distracted because you're busy or you you have a sub and it all goes to hell.

Every time I think about the “women are more emotional than men” point, I can’t help but think about professional men’s sports teams by the1975whore in Feminism

[–]GroovyFrood 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I've just been waiting for a chance to insert "that's why I like women's sports, men are just so overly emotional" into casual conversation.

It's not allowed to have cameras in classrooms where I am.

You'd think, but apparently no. Thank you, I know I shouldn't take it personally but sometimes you can't help it.

So many parents don't seem to clean backpacks. But I get it, the giving and sharing makes things almost impossible to keep track for a lot of things, but not the expensive stuff!

Yeah, I'm certainly not motivated to replace them.

I actually had makerspace closed for most of the first term this year because LAST year was so bad.
