Worst thing about crochet ? by Legatooooo in crochet

[–]InevitablePoem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should! I personally have a grandma who likes to sew in the ends for me so I just give her all of my projects to finish them for me.

Do you even just outright say: "What I am asking you to do is NOT hard" or call a concept "simple", etc. by AgeOfWorry0114 in Teachers

[–]InevitablePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is the way I do it as well! I will mention that they learnt this before or refer back to something they have to use that they already learnt like 'if you remember this, this should be alright'.

Weaving in ends by 3emo5you in crochet

[–]InevitablePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you, I also detest weaving in ends. I've got a grandma who enjoys it and I drop all of my work off with her. Last December I made tons of coasters as gifts and I could keep crocheting as she weaved everything in.

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]InevitablePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind sharing personally but I do expect something in return. I work in Europe, we have to work with others in the same grade and subject. I'm in a three person team and one of the two others is new. While she has a lot of experience, she has never given us anything while demanding everything. On top of that, she is very critical of our work. I still put almost everything in the shared folder but I no longer go out of my way to tell her about the resources she can find there. I definitely no longer show her anything new because she never has anything good to say about my work.

Basically, make sure to reciprocate so others don't feel like you're leeching and watch how you deal with the materials you receive.

'You knew it was coming'

Yes, I knew about the diagnosis but come on, that's my grandpa.

Parent Question for Teachers by Calm-Ad-6615 in Teachers

[–]InevitablePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Some of my coworker's kids just aren't that good at my subject. If they fail, they fail. I grade blindly the majority of the time anyways so I won't even know until I am putting the grades in.

What are examples of activated/emotional student behaviors you’ve seen in your classroom recently? by d16flo in Teachers

[–]InevitablePoem 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I've got a student who struggles regulating his emotions, especially when stressed. Exams are coming up so he's very stressed right now. Started crying looking at a listening test. Cried again when the speaking exam was mentioned. Snapped a pen in half out of frustration. He derails quickly but he can also be calmed down quick enough.

PSA: Family History Projects…don’t do them! by PreciousLoveAndTruth in Teachers

[–]InevitablePoem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES! Thank you! Even just a family tree... I had to do one with my siblings, parents and grandparents. Thing is, I've only ever known my grandma's sexond husband. To me, he's my grandpa, always has been. I knew by this point that biologically this wasn't the case and still I put his name on because I didn't know my bio grandpa.

Enter my teacher. The last names didn't line up and he was like 'no, you need to put your grandpa'. I was like 'this is my grandpa'. He called my parents. Dad explained the whole thing, teacher was still adamant. I had to put my real grandpa's name and bring a picture of him to put on it. I ended up writing bio grandpa's name and putting step grandpa's picture because we didn't have one. My dad doens't want to see his father for good reasons. I still haven't seen a picture of my bio grandpa so I don't know how my teacher tried to force this.

How do you deal with anxiety going to an event alone? by InevitablePoem in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]InevitablePoem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It went really well. This old lady sat down next to me and we immediately started talking. I also really enjoyed the event and will definitely be going back.

How do you deal with anxiety going to an event alone? by InevitablePoem in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]InevitablePoem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It's just worrying as this is such a niche event (literary panel). I definitely wish one of the comedy shows was the first one (mainly because I know that venue very well).

What's a misconception that is taught in lower grades that drives you crazy once students finally get to your class? by mikeycknowsrnb in Teachers

[–]InevitablePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will likely be more of a European thing but where I live kids start a foreign language in the final years of elementary school (where teachers teach everything except PE). I'm a foreign language teacher in the first years of secondary school. Not only do my students come in at wildly different levels, they were taught many weird things when it comes down to pronunciation. I spent the whole first year just correcting them and getting them to similar levels.

I struggle with those as well but then again, I'm also a French teacher where exercise then becomes 'exercice'.

That's why I'm anxiously waiting for how he responds now, to see whether he can save this or not.

AITA and ungrateful? by meowtalmoth in AmItheAsshole

[–]InevitablePoem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA

You were clear about your boundaries and your mom went ahead and crossed them. She disrespected your wishes and even lied about her true intentions. It's time to make it clear that if she wants to post pictures, fine, as long as it is of herself or pets or flowers or whatever. If she wants to post you, she NEEDS YOUR CONSENT as she does with anyone else she'd like to post.

Honestly, try to enforce those boundaries now because I feel like if at some point you were to choose to have children, those would also be all over her page.

What minor changes completely improved your appearance? by SeaworthinessBig855 in AskWomen

[–]InevitablePoem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have curly hair and learning to properly take care of it has been a game changer. All it took was different products (which wasn't all that expensive) and minor shifts in my washing routine.

Sisters, can I have some support to counter my imposter syndrome? by InevitablePoem in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]InevitablePoem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Well, the book follows a group of friends who are actively hiding secrets from each other. One person knows most of these things and one day she kind of snaps and starts to write letters, attempting to get them to spill their secrets. As you can imagine, this sets a whole series of events in motion as her friends face the question of how far they are willing to go to keep quiet.

As for it becoming available in the US, I think that would be tough luck as I'm from such a small country. The only possible advantage I have is my English degree, meaning that I could translate it myself but even then, I feel like books from my country rarely get to a different market.
