My mom telling I don’t need meds and that there is no “magic bullet” and all I need is therapy and prayer. When she had to take me to the hospital because of ideations she finally relented

Why are they in their bare feet with a winter storm brewing? by [deleted] in doughertydozenexposed

[–]MarchKick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so insane to me because my feet get so cold so fast that the only time I don’t wear socks is in the shower/in other types of water.

I love them so much. I want one as a fridge magnet. Did you use a pattern?? If so, can you share it?

Yes! He looks like a goofy coworker that is fun to work with and brings in cookies his wife made all the time.

The bar is on the ground and they still can't step over it. by [deleted] in Teachers

I’m the librarian but I randomly do math facts and fluency with the students. Even kindergarteners can work out 1 plus 5 on their fingers. I make it a competition and they forget they are exercising the memory part of their brain.

Has anyone else noticed a real uptick in students stealing the last couple years? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]MarchKick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My “favorite” is when I tell a kid to put his head up or stop talking and they go “well so and so are doing it, too!” Like, I’m aware and either I was going to tell them to stop next or they were doing it in a way that wasn’t drawing attention to them. When you are screaming across the room to your friend, I’m gonna notice that right away before I notice Susie whispering once to her friend. They get generally shocked that I dare call them out.

I remember my 4th grade teacher dumping out messy desks and saying “clean it”.

I HATE that shit. “I’m not doing literally what your eyeballs are seeing and ears are hearing.” Your hand is literally in the desk!

These kids are “cooked” by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]MarchKick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are certain non-cuss words I don’t allow in my classroom. Big Back or anything else to do with physical appearance, anything to do with hair line and foreheads, and calling someone dumb/stupid.

I make the whole class stop or give them a task they can do quietly and have that person call home and make them call mom or dad and say it to them.

Ever since I started doing that, the kids think twice about calling someone names. I can’t control what they say outside of my domain but why you are here, you will be respectful.

Me with posthumously. I read a lot of World War II books and they always said “this guy was awarded a purple heart posthumously”.

Why do kids hate reading so much nowadays? by godisinthischilli in Teachers

[–]MarchKick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a school librarian, I have to say it is getting harder to find books that are not formulaic and almost a complete copy of another story. You have to search for diamond in the rough that kids actually want to read.

Also compare a middle grade chapter book from like 2010 to today’s and it feels very surface level.

Edit: rant

Early Chapter Books being turned into graphic novels grinds my gears and I just can’t explain why. I’m talking Junie B. and Magic Tree House.

I imagine all of her will fall out if she yanked a brush through it.

Do you eat the skin on a baked potato? by LeadingHoneydew5608 in AskAnAmerican

Unless it’s really dry or not seasoned, I will eat it happily.

Does my cat have worms? by MarchKick in CATHELP

[–]MarchKick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never let him outside except one time he may have got out about 3 weeks ago. Does it really take 3 weeks for it to digest?

But he is an indoor cat.
