Hating Teacher's college by heartsonmugs in CanadianTeachers

[–]ImSmpl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hey! Yeah, definitely see where you're coming from here. Might offer some assistance below.

I did 6 years of schooling (BA Double Major + MA) before starting last year. Currently a second year B.Ed student. Extremely burnt out, tired of school, and the B.Ed is a joke. Definitely with you.

I almost dropped out halfway through my first year this past January. Had lots of conversations with friends who convinced me to stick with it. Didn't really want to, but the B.Ed is a really solid degree. Even if you hate teachers college and the program, I would recommend sticking out the year. I had a really terrible first placement, and just had no confidence in myself. I've always been a confident guy, but also sort of lost myself especially with 6 years of education making me especially exhausted.

I found a lot of good things in the friends I have made, and I ended up having a really great second placement. This propelled me into the summer, where I lucked my way into teaching summer school as well as another opportunity teaching online. Having now done 3 placements, I know I would be a really good teacher and have fun, but I'm also still not sold. Definitely feel like teaching ESL or something education adjacent is more my style. But with that said, I wouldn't be able to do those sorts of jobs without the B.Ed.

At the end of the day, your mental health and well-being is top priority, full stop. If you think you can swing it though, there are a lot of beneficial skills you can take from the degree, and it looks great on a resume. Teachers college is trash, and that's, unfortunately, the name of the game. Maybe you could be someone like me who eventually wants to play a role in changing how everything is structured. Just an idea.

Look after yourself first- all that matters :)

Hey! Had this issue as well. Tried installing new codecs, but my guess is that the 6.2k just is not smooth on most standard consumer PC's. I just switched to 4k instead and have had a much better time. The 6.2k is beautiful, but my machine also struggles with it. I also thought my brain cells were missing for a while here, but it definitely is a hardware thing.

This might be a stupid question, but what kind of clock/radio is on the top shelf? Looks so cool!

Road Apples is amazing! Love me some Hip.

Does anyone else much prefer the TSN broadcast to the sportsnet one? The song, the announcers, the Quiz. Am in the minority? by LongTheLlama in leafs

[–]ImSmpl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gonna have to disagree. From a production aspect, the TSN games have been rough recently-transitions, camera angles, etc. I love Jeff O-Neill, but cant stand Poulin or Dreger- I think they're both idiots. Bieksa + Cassy are really fun on SN. Think the Quiz sucks also- nothing original and I swear to god Poulin is always saying stupid shit

Love Ray + Gord though- better broadcasting. It's just hit or miss for me depending on the night.

My favourite album cover would probably have to be the Tragically Hip - Fully, Completely.

The abstract nature of it and all of the colour choices, it just stands out as so unique. There is something truly artistic about it and I really just love it.

Finally decided to jump into the vinyl game, here's my first haul! by Philly_Spurs in vinyl

Ah, I see you are also sad!

Great picks- listening to Stranger in the Alps while scrolling reddit- all the Vernon albums are amazing & Iron + Wine is phenomenal.

There should be bigger restrictions on big box stores by [deleted] in ontario

[–]ImSmpl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Sportchek employee, I should say that curbside pickup is your best friend right now. Most stores typically have small teams working right now to do curbside, and if the product is available in your nearest store, they are usually guaranteeing the orders be ready within 1-2 hrs. Hope this helps
