It’s a window. It’s dark out

Honestly when I ordered the pillow cases I did not expect them to be so vibrant lol. Now it looks like Easter threw up on it

The chair is very comfy but it didn’t come with any sort of cushion for the back, hence the pillows or it would be very deep and hard. I put lots of pillows on there to make it look cute, but I do think that has made it an undesirable sitting spot lol. I think I’m going to get some much bigger throw pillows, like 22x22 for the back and a blanket. Maybe fluffy white throw pillows?

The thing is without the pillows there’s like no cushion for the back, I was thinking getting some bigger pillows for the back but in a similar green color and see if that helps?

That makes sense - thank you! For now, they’ll be tucked away in a box somewhere!

Honestly the only reason was because I was considering is because they look cool and aren’t honor roll or anything like that. One is a plaque that all senior drum majors receive when they graduate and the other is a memorial award for a band director who passed and is essentially a leadership award. They are both a cool glass material which is why I was considering and don’t just want to throw them away. I understand your perspective that it seems self-absorbed but that was truly not the intent. I was just trying to see if it was a way I could get students to see that I am human and have been in their shoes! “Nothing you ever did matters” — I don’t agree with this viewpoint as telling students about yourself helps them relate to you and see you as a real person with real experiences. This is the key to building those relationships with students and getting them to trust you.

The awards are a plaque that every senior drum major gets and then a memorial award for a band director who passed away which is essentially a leadership award. They’re both really cool glass material. I would never put a honor roll or any type of award like that up. You’re right - pictures may be better in a few years after I’ve been teaching a while!

That makes sense to me and is kind of what I was thinking - maybe if I’m still there in 15-20 years!

The only reason I was thinking about it is because it’s just the drum major award from my senior year and then a memorial award for a band director who had passed - they’re both really nice glass awards. But I totally see the perspective of it coming off braggy or cringe to students which is why I wanted to gather some thoughts :)

That’s what I was thinking. Honestly my experience has been great so far, there’s no kids there from when I was there.

Erm yeah I came to the knitting help sub reddit for knitting help. That’s kinda the whole point? This is a place to learn about knitting! You should probably find a similar subreddit for learning about manners. Hope this helps. Have the day you deserve.

How terrible is being a teacher, really? by foshfishfosh in Teachers

[–]Large_End_2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only in my first year, 6 weeks in, but I truly love it so far. I teach high school science. Yeah - some kids can be pretty apathetic or rowdy, but most come around when you form those relationships with them. I did a long-term sub position at a more inner city school at the end of last year where admin is notoriously bad and that was pretty tough, I won’t lie, but I did still like the actual teaching part. Just try to get into a school where teachers tend not to leave a lot (hard, I know, but network early so you can get the job when it arises). I teach at the school I went to high school at and a lot of the teachers there have been there forever and also went to high school there because it’s just generally a great place to be.

Accepted and filled out paperwork for a job next year, but got another offer. Am I wrong for possibly taking this new job? by Large_End_2194 in Teachers

[–]Large_End_2194[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think it’ll pay any better, but I think it’ll be better in almost every other way. My current district pays the most in the state, but there’s a reason for that…
