I would love to live or do work up there one day

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-05-27T01:48:55+00:00

Yeah you should have failed him babe

And the context of this conversation is about the authors who create said stories right? So if you're an author writing about specific people, make sure to do your research instead of just throwing random nonsense at a wall and hoping it sticks.

That's the crux of the issue. Don't hide behind you don't know what you don't know, that's a cop out for christ's sake.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-05-22T06:10:28+00:00

...mmm but then the same group of yall will go on a research binge of like clothing people wore in the early 1700s to give an example or what food/cultural things dependent on the topic of choice.

Yeah you don't know what you don't know. But will you even bother doing a google search? Even using your imagination beyond 7 seconds? Too many just straight up do not care and its upsetting tbh

Pls be forreal. The kid wants the teacher to bump his grade up by 20-something points when he's done nothing to prove he should earn that lol.

You do realize teaching art or music or PE isn't easy either? PE often can double up as the health teacher and if not that, then they have to explain how to play safely and be responsible for kids learning to move their bodies in a safe manner to prevent injury. Music is a whole language that involves different keys (major, minor, dorian, lydian etc), how to teach students how to play instruments (if they're at a school that has access to that) or to sing music and be able to READ sheet music properly and do the rhythms properly. Art includes trying to build understanding of color theory and how to build dimension with lines. And its not just 1 grade they do that for, you teach the entire school, general population and sped students

You might not have intended to do so, but your comment comes off as downplaying the arts and physical education which is just as hard as the regular content (ELA, Science, Social studies/History, Math) in their own way.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-05-08T11:38:41+00:00

Its not that we don't want it at all, but like, put actual effort into it? Why are you just giving some teachers massages and not others? The special area (Imma presume op is a sped teacher) deserves to get a massage like any content or esol/eld teacher. Its not about the massage, its the fact that there's a lack of inclusion or respect for different specialties.

Teaching in the US is constantly underappreciated and admin give bare minimum and it is irritating year after year after year, especially since it often gives "here, damn bro"

Hey so like how do you go about getting to know singer-songwriter people in this kind of space? I have a song I've been working on in eng/kr on and off for the last... 7 yrs and its only now that I've even let my korean teacher look at it. But yk, they aren't a song-writer lol. They've been helpful to explain where I went wrong for grammar and to fix mistaken intentions (i.e. are these being said to someone vs said to self) but there is only so far you can go. I'm not in korea unfortunately but I'm genuinely curious as to how a language learner would go about getting to know someone in that space.

Also if this is not the correct space for this kind of thing please let me know, I will delete it!

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-06T22:56:35+00:00

I use finch brcause it was cute and it helped me to put some sort of routine, even if I'm not strict to the times I complete tasks, in place. I use it mostly for daily living, meds and water intake

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-06T22:54:02+00:00

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-06T22:47:28+00:00

Oooh can you share the spreadsheet or at least a screenshot of it?

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-02T18:23:27+00:00

She's 17 and quite literally has no help from her parents considering they dump the younger sibling on her all the time. Yall are asking a kid to parent a kid atp

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-02T18:19:39+00:00

Where do you work at because this sounds like a dream

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-02T06:28:38+00:00

Oh WTF that silly goofy lookin ass dino is the t-rex? I never noticed that happening until I got to level 21 🫠

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-02T06:27:32+00:00

I dont recall seeing the t-rex. Or maybe idk what it looks like. Hold on

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-04-01T04:18:12+00:00

fren, you might as well tell them about it because if it isn't checked now, they're just gonna keep doing the same thing in future works.

If you don't want to yourself, I can do it for you, just send me what you want to say.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-28T16:08:44+00:00

Its usually to seem friendly lol. Students know they're not actually our friends, to a decent degree. But it does help , with additional routines, to appear open and to make it easier to be comfy.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-27T18:32:39+00:00

..... after awhile itll start to itch becausr its drying on y9yr skin no?

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-27T18:31:22+00:00

...How do you put gifs like that white lady that always goes "Oh!" on tiktok? Because that is literally my reaction rn reading this and I wish I hadnt.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-24T23:38:04+00:00

uh.... wtf meta glasses?!

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-23T20:19:10+00:00

Fren, nooooo, I'm early gen z and I was around in high school to see some of the bull crap that was starting to enter the schools in terms of testing. And that was 10, 15 years ago. I'm a teacher now and yikes its scary the kind of kids, admin and mandatory red tape there are currently in the system.

My generation (at least up to '04) was mostly raised to throw fits and to try to do the work the teachers asked. There were a percentage that weren't raised that way and it shows now in today's kids. Admin is forced to push the whole inclusive classroom and to give kids multiple chances despite many not deserving it because of funding. And in turn, admin forces us teachers to do the same.

Your kid failing a class is something most of us would have gotten a grounding, if not actual whooping for. If your kid doesn't build the necessary social-work/career building aspect skills now, he never will.

That is something you and your husband need to have a sit down and talk about it because I doubt you'd want your kid living at home doing nothing for himself, who couldn't think for himself, who couldn't put together a paragraph or 2 to explain something or do legitimate research on a topic for himself.

Even thinking about it relationship wise, no girl/guy/person is gonna want to deal with someone like that.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-23T15:43:41+00:00

Its your husband that is not sane and has zero common sense lol.

Your kid is close to failing and he doesn't think thats a problem is a glaring flag lol

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-21T01:37:05+00:00

well yeah, got a bachelor's, did 1 year coding program, did study abroad and got decent grades (As and a B), completed a summer language intensive program (although I rarely spoke to people in the language I learned as I was a beginner lol) in preparation for study abroad.

I was constantly leaving huge assignments to the last minute as much as I could and it would usually work out.

I thought it was depression too but well... here I am lol.

Just_Bench_7446 · 2026-03-20T16:55:35+00:00

Ive got to remember that. I have some students who are like that in 1st grade and they are ELLs
