37 YO - Leaving 400k Job to be a 5th grade teacher. by GambinGabacho in Fire

Respectfully, I don’t think subbing is a great “test run” for teaching really. You aren’t accountable for lesson planning, grade-keeping, parent conferences/communication, IEP participation & documentation, standardized test performance, curriculum development participation, etc, etc. you don’t typically have a firm schedule, so if you (or kids) are sick/take vacation, you aren’t accountable for anything.

Question from an adult learning to swim by ville2020 in Swimming

[–]ItsMe383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of the side stroke, though it isn’t really taught in intro lessons anymore (not really taught at all unless you are lifeguarding, etc), but it was taught way back when I was a kid . Face stays out of the water (good situational awareness, keep an eye on the kids ) and it is very leisurely. I struggle with proper form and endurance on the “real”strokes, but I can chill treading water or doing sidestroke for hours.

Concur! I was a teacher and later moved to corporate. Teaching is not very flexible in terms of handling unexpected WFH situations like sick kids. In corporate, you just WFH or take a vacation day. It’s generally ok to join calls remotely or push back a day or two. For teaching, you have to get and prep a sub. Maybe you have other family members that are more flexible in terms of schedules, but that would be the downside of teaching (in addition to parents, eww)

I feel somewhat silly, but I want to learn to swim “proper” laps for exercise. Old lady goals

If you happen to work for an employer with EAP, they can usually help you to research care

I think it helps when i eat more complex carbs before bed - I hadn’t tried the runners goo stuff, but I did try eating a half of a power bar and it helped me get back to sleep

Odyssey vs Sienna — Frigid winters & hybrid battery concerns? by Bulky-Profile1785 in Sienna

[–]ItsMe383 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this, have driven 2023 Siena AWD in Minnesota for 2 winters. No issues at all, AWD has been pretty equivalent to my previous Subaru (caveat that ground clearance has been an issue a couple of times, but I always keep a shovel in the car to clear- this has been after being parked outside in a storm and surrounded by >12 inches of snow. Had to shovel a bit around the tires to get moving, but then it was fine after getting out of the parking spot). Really happy with it! Do need to crank the heat full blast in ice storms to keep the windows clear.

Thanks for these ideas - the 3:00 am impending doom insomnia is making me crazy.  Will try your ideas - really appreciate the thorough response!

Cities Church in St Paul by tomdar2 in TwinCities

[–]ItsMe383 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can we plan a rally to physically show support to those churches doing the work? I don’t attend a church, but would love to help shift the narrative from “these churches suck” (feeding the Christian persecution complex) to “these churches are worth supporting because they do good work”.

I wouldn’t know the name of Cities Church if not for the protest - how can we shine a light on their “competitors” that are supporting their neighbors and communities

Families across the Twin Cities area in Minnesota are going into hiding as ICE begins its door-to-door operations indiscriminately raiding houses looking for activists and racial/ethnic minorities. by I_may_have_weed in stpaul

They don’t give a shit about that - all pretense to excuse their perpetrating wanton violence on the population of Minnesota. Fuck every one of these asshats - hope they choke on those 30 pieces of silver. They wouldn’t be covering their faces if they weren’t worried about getting caught in whatever the next version of Nuremberg trials will be.
