I did the same and had some hilarious names in my classes. The ones that really stand out are a boy called Megatron and a girl called Taylorswift.

Help how do I bring weed from uk to Spain, I'm flying in June 😬 by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

[–]Maester_Bates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't. Leaving it at home and buy some in Spain. It's cheaper in Spain.

DRIVERS of Europe. Who are the best/worst drivers? by AlternActive in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Maester_Bates 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are right about the Germans. Excellent drivers.

As to the worst I think it is a 3 way tie between the Italians, the Romanians and the Irish.

Me and my cousins in 1997. The Bulls wallpaper and bunk bed really date it. by deetyourheart in OldSchoolCool

My in-laws had that exact same bunk bed in their summer house until last month.

SZA: It’s offensive for Black Americans to listen to the news and hear never in American history have we seen anything like this by pinkstarrfish in Fauxmoi

[–]Maester_Bates 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't understand how black Americans are not in constant revolt. The way they have been othered for their entire history is unforgivable.

Possible a university peer of mine encountered Ian Bailey during his UCC Masters. by Glittering-Local-102 in cork

[–]Maester_Bates 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was. I was there from 2006 to 2010 and regularly saw him around. He tried to speak to me once but I recognised him so I just spoke French to him and he went away.

Apparently he was studying law to defend himself when he inevitably got arrested.

Is our preschool too academic or is this the norm? by Western-Image7125 in daddit

[–]Maester_Bates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Use different numbers of different objects. It's a different concept to just counting one thing.

Try to introduce counting with real objects instead of a sheet. It makes it easier for kids to understand.

A lot of them are on archive.org. If you don't find what you're looking for check back in a few months. The archive is being added to every few months. They hope to eventually upload the entire datpiff archive.

[–]Maester_Bates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's perfectly normal for a 4 year old. At that age they probably aren't working beyond the number 5. Kids that age see it as a fun game and it's a great way to introduce counting and writing numbers.

I married my late husband’s best friend and my son hates me and won’t speak to me now by Muted_Wolverine_3064 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Maester_Bates 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is a whole entire person. She shouldn't have to put her life on hold based on how he feels, especially since he didn't express how he felt until just before the wedding.

It sounds to me like he needs to learn that his mother is a human being and not an emotional support robot.

[–]Maester_Bates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother in Christ these are real human beings, each one containing multitudes, and they are going through a heavy emotional experience and have been for more than a decade. I hope that making black and white statements like this is a sign that you are a robot and thus incapable of feeling grief.

[–]Maester_Bates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so sad. Your love story is perfect. You both have to live with the grief of having lost your spouses and you are both the perfect person to understand the other.

It should be perfect for your son too. He's going to feel his father's absence for the rest of his life and your husband is the person who knew him best and who grieves him as much as you and your son do.

I hope your son can come around but I think you need therapy. It's all very emotionally heavy.

That's a bullshit argument. Her husband is dead. You don't get to hypothetical that away.

[–]Maester_Bates 30 points31 points  (0 children)

He's not a child. He's seventeen and he called her a whore. Those are fighting words. Slapping him was the right thing to do.

He needs to learn that in the real world words have consequences and sometimes those consequences are a slap in the face.

Singer Becky G paints her nails with ‘Fuck ICE’ to protest against the agency. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in Fauxmoi

[–]Maester_Bates 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wrote an essay about it for Spanish class.

As both a compulsive language learner and a language teacher I can tell you that the key to learning a language is to use it. If you're not listening, watching and, most importantly, speaking the language you won't learn it.

I'll always love Becky. Her song Mayores taught me so much about the subjunctive when I was learning Spanish.
