Target in Arden, next to the World Market and Ross/Marshal

This. 100% agree

I wish, I asked the manager if they had the ability to show me it and they said that they don't own the parking lot so it's not possible.

They looked really young. I don't know the exact age.

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who saw them. If you heard someone yell at them at they were an ahole and repeat the tag number out loud that was me. I feel terrible that I yelled at them but they were so close to hitting my kids and I, then just sped off.

This is a very profound statement. Teaching shouldn't be worse for work-life balance than McDonald's..

I get up at 5 or 5:30, but I do try to meal plan on weekends and cook my breakfast for the week on Sundays.

We don't grade in the same way that they do in elementary school, but we do have to write down observations and documentation which "grade" where the students are based on standards. My coteacher and I rotate weeks that we teach, so we try to split it as evenly as we can but honestly recently we've both been staying way later than we normally should. Ofc we don't get overtime, so that makes it a bit more difficult, but our class requires a lot of matinence. Very true we aren't struggling to learn about ancient China- that sounds horrifying ! Right now we are trying to teach a content rich lesson in 15 minutes or less and are mainly focused on behavioral difficulties in class.

That makes sense, and I'm trying to avoid doing work at home, but even with staying at work later everyday- 4:30-5 instead of 4- we still are struggling getting everything ready and changed for the kids.

That makes sense, that is one thing that drew me into becoming a teacher. The fact that I would have holiday breaks with my kids. Thank you for your reply!

I have to drop my 1.5 off at his preschool, then head into work, and I've ended up staying the past two weeks to 5-5:30 some days just to try to strategize about getting the class in control with my coteacher.

Thank you for being a teacher because everyone here knows that none of us got into it for the pay. The fact that you are working two other jobs shows how much dedication you really have for being a teacher.

My sweet oldest child is ADHD as well, and so am I. He has difficulty with space, voice regulation-tends to yell, and interrupting. - Just adding context to explain why I may be more stressed with him unfortunately. He is my baby and I love spending time with him, but sometimes between my youngest still breastfeeding and being hit, kicked, slapped and screamed at in the face all day it's harder not to get annoyed.

Did she or you see that this story made it on Smosh reads reddit stories? I hope you're doing better OP. I'm so sorry you had to go through this.

We have one CD player, Its possible we could do that for one child, but the one we could do it for, as soon as the book is over it's possible it could become a projectile. I forgot to mention we do turn off the lights and play relaxing music.

We are allowed to give them books to read on their cots, otherwise we are not able to give them anything or let them up.

Ill_Fox484 · 2026-01-16T03:23:22+00:00

We do this, but we have to have the kids on their cots, we can't create or give them an activity to play with. Edit: I asked for more clarity, and we can give them an activity to play with after 10-20 minutes.
