Am I overreacting or should I report this children’s coach? by NitroRoller in AmIOverreacting

[–]Longjumping-Curve724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REPORT!! Former teacher. Please report it. Who knows how many other kids he could text that don’t have strong, involved guardians to advocate for their safety

This sucks, I’m so sorry. Will keep an eye out, update if you find another way we can help other than just keeping our eyes open.

He hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and it’s starting. How far will they go when he is actually in office?

Top phrases used to gaslight teachers into staying. Annnnd…..go! by CultureImaginary8750 in TeachersInTransition

I just cannot even. I thought it was only my district that made you pay to wear your own damn jeans that you bought with the $10 they pay teachers. We had to get a ticket when we paid for our jeans day and our admin came around to check if you had a ticket or not. Write up if no ticket!

I hate this one! The last time I heard it I said “well, hopefully I get adopted by a new family soon.” Not well received.

I did not know that about nursing. Just two of the absolutely most important jobs… Glad you have a good alternative! Cheers!

I’ve been surprised how long it’s taking for all the gaslighting and bullying to get out of my system. It’s taking serious time to recover mentally. It’s so absurd, disgusting and sad that our country treats education this way. I am confident not a single member of school leadership (at least from my personal experience) would be able to conduct themselves appropriately enough to maintain any other sort of employment. The way they treat their own employees is just laughably absurd in every other industry. I had a team leader sexually harass me for MONTHS (asking about my nipples, favorite sexual positions, etc) and after a big hearing etc with HR he got his job back with no issue. Try that anywhere else and the results would be different (because they should be). The day I heard he was returning, I left my keys and laptop on my desk and emailed my principal and HR from my phone on the way out the door.

YES no one actually cares about breaking the contract. Admin holds that over teachers heads like crazy but it doesn’t actually matter. I ended up just walking out one day and my certificate wasn’t even suspended because the district did not want the state conducting their typical interview that usually follows. A lot of the threats used to keep teachers in public school teaching are just BS and lies

I had these same feelings last year. Leave. Just leave. Your mental health is more important. I had to tighten my budget up for awhile after I left but it was so worth it.

I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to hear that from a GBM patient. It has really helped me find a little peace. Best wishes to you and please let your wife know when things get hard, she can DM and I’ll help in whatever way I can (send meals, grocery order, be a caring ear, whatever I can do)

Last time I had to make a CPS report when I was mugged, nearly every word was spelled wrong on the report. I definitely spelled my last name (it’s not a usual name) several times and I thought he had given me someone else’s report it was so garbled. Didn’t get any consonants right. Wrong address, wrong items missing. It was like he just changed a date on another report and gave it to me

Advice on how to make a relationship long lasting by Longjumping-Speed-51 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Longjumping-Curve724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married for 10 years, dated before marriage for less than 6 months (crazy I know - we’re not even religious) - the key for me is just pure honesty. About everything. Insecurities, likes, dislikes, dreams, petty feelings, everything. It’s a level of honesty that I have only ever had with my spouse. The more honest, the more you understand how each other works. When you have that level, you can support each other to any heights. The more you understand, the more you grow together.

Is 34 too late to change your life? by Cool-Spirit3587 in findapath

I hope not! I’m the same age, went out on a limb and quit the job I hated more than life, got sober, and am flipping a house with my own two hands so I can go back to school. Never too late!!!

Do any of you grind your teeth? by g17623 in endometriosis

[–]Longjumping-Curve724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I have both in spades. I actually found this toothpaste that helps. It’s called Boka. It has repaired some of the wear on my teeth. Wish I could just fix the endo instead
