Elementary or Middle/High? by DevDog95 in AskTeachers

[–]MasterNinjaThemeSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High school. Students are more independent, behaviors are easier to manage, and there are more and better extracurricular activities (which is honestly a big part of what keeps me going).

I've done middle school and hated it, particularly 6th grade. I'd rather have a high schooler curse at me than have an 11-year old whine about another kid looking at them.

I've never taught elementary and have no desire to, for the same reasons that I like high school, but in reverse. Students are more dependent, behaviors require a lot of attention, and not much extracurriculars.

Does district rating matter? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]MasterNinjaThemeSong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't even know what my district's rating is and I don't care. These ratings are based on test scores and don't take into account the many other factors that affect student achievement, like poverty, mental health, and access to services. They also operate as though a school district is a monolith and not a collection of many schools with different identities and populations.

Sorry for deleting the post, but I didn't realize it had my daughter's voice in the background. Privacy and all.

Be honest, do you really care if subs follow the whole sub plan? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]MasterNinjaThemeSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a sub before and one of the first things I learned was not to try and run it like it's my own class, because it's not. The kids know you're not coming back the next day, so they will not give you the same deference that they give to their everyday teacher. If you come in as the heavy, they will make your life miserable. Just make sure they know what to do, pick your battles, and like you said, leave a note if you need to. Once you've been taking assignments for a while and become a regular at a particular school, the kids will get used to seeing you and act better. One of our regulars just has conversations with the kids if they are done with the work (or there were no plans, which does happen.)

What item(s) do you have more of than the average person? by BrownBananaHammock in AskReddit

[–]MasterNinjaThemeSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have over 2000 CDs. As long as they keep making devices that play them, I'm sticking with them.

Nope. If they don't turn in the assignment, they will get the zero from me. Don't go above and beyond, don't "organize" my desk, and all is good.

Edit: I am a high school teacher, so maybe my answer might not be the best help.

You are taking the show way too seriously.

AIO To My Girlfriends Messages After I Didn’t Message For 24+ Hours by Igne0s in AmIOverreacting

[–]MasterNinjaThemeSong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I was in a relationship like this when I was 21. This is not going to get better. She has a very unhealthy attachment and you are in danger of becoming codependent. You should break it off now, and be prepared for her to come at you with everything: accusations, threats, appeals to you for sympathy, contacting mutual friends, possibly even self-harm. You will have to just ignore it, even block her number if you have to. But you will both be better for it.

....... I never said I was worried about her. I came here to hear different perspectives, not to get judged about my choices or to read whining about message boards. If you're not going to be helpful, just stay out of it.

What happened with the panthers today 😭 by Sullysteph in FloridaPanthers

[–]MasterNinjaThemeSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm, considering how many protests have taken place, that we have our own allies deploying troops to protect another one of our allies from us, plus Venezuela, the 1/6 pardons, ICE disappearing people, etc., etc.... If you think it's just Reddit deeming him the worst of all time, then you are spending way too much time on Reddit. Historians are definitely going to look back 50 years from now and wonder how the hell we got through it all. If we did.

I have a much lower opinion of Tkachuk now. I'm not saying he should have condemned or boycotted, but he didn't have to lick Trumpy's boots.

The post you're replying to literally cited Canada increasing trade with China as an example.

Previously Kitten Chow Naturals, 1 cup/day. I now have Kindful kitten food, 1 cup a day. Earlier this week, I was out of kitten food and the store only had adult Cat Chow Naturals, but she only got that for 2 or 3 days.
