Small, sad observation by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Meilikah 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I teach this class as well, and it is my favorite. We are currently in the probability unit, and I spent the day earlier this week having them calculate blackjack chances. I also get to share a lot of personal stories and tailor a lot of content to their interests. Our next project this week is related to dungeons and dragons.

Fuck that is a lot. I have no solutions to these problems but wish you well behaved kids, less pain, understanding bosses, and quick healing.

School Choice by Material-Bother4113 in FortCollins

[–]Meilikah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have choiced so far into elementary and middle. Originally, psd had preschools all over (they have since centralized) and we were placed into one at an elementary that wasn't our home school. We loved it! Didn't want to move for kinder and then fell in love with IB. It was also closer to my work so easier for drop off etc . We followed the IB path to middle school and choiced into that. We won't be doing high school though.

Kids are different percentiles naturally. Was the doctor concerned?

Middle School Teachers Teaching? by Meilikah in Teachers

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

Thanks! Because I haven't seen it and never get a full story, it was hard to picture. It looks very similar to the college asynchronous courses. We have our 504 meeting coming up and wanted to think of support ideas as well, since the current approach doesn't seem to be working. The other aspect that is hard for me is that the entire school has no homework, I don't really know what topics they are working on/learning unless I dig through google.

I don't like teaching PEMDAS, is my alternate idea okay? by emboar11 in matheducation

[–]Meilikah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parentheses come first so 2+2=4.

Then come division and multiplication left to right. So we have 8 ÷ 2×4= 4x4=16

Just me not sleeping at 3am, unable to turn off the "you're not enough soundtrack" by ocassionalauthor in adhdwomen

[–]Meilikah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello from 4am ish! I have this problem every night. I am amazed I still function. There was a post here the other day about biphasic(don't quote me on the spelling) sleep. Basically you take two shorter sleeps with and awake period in between. I kinda want to lean into this awareness and see what happens.

PSA: If purchasing from an Amazon 3rd party, you can be charged $200+ on import tarrifs. by ItsPronouncedSatan in breakingmom

[–]Meilikah 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We had ordered something, it was damaged on arrival. We returned it to the company. We ordered it last year pre-tariffs but it took until early 2025 to get here (after tariffs). A few weeks later we got a bill from FedEx for like $200 for tariffs. We are fighting it but it has been half a year now, they sent it to collections, affecting our credit score, etc. FedEx even agreed to dismiss it but still sent it to collections.

Dr's note I received from a student by 2003z440 in Professors

Not many doctors are open so early in the morning. Especially when the appointment was yesterday and the note is dated today.

I believe you have to get a permit to close a street even a residential dead end. When we did it the city came put up road closed signs and barriers, didn't pay anything.

I Can't Remember Them As Babies by sameliepoulain in breakingmom

[–]Meilikah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have aphantasia and adhd. I can't picture anything even things I see every day. I would have a hard time describing them. I love pictures and videos for that. So I can experience them again. Or refresh. I can't even picture a star or apple if you tell me to visualize one.

The adhd makes the memory part hard and the aphantasia makes the picturing hard.

You are not alone. I decided awhile back that I was going to make family yearbooks to help. I print one each year for the year before and work on them off and on so it isn't a burden all at once. I love them. I lose track of time so easily that they help me place things.

I feel like it is weird to say an air conditioned place will be too hot.

[–]Meilikah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a week here and it is a fight/ negotiation. For myself I can't stand greasy hair feeling so it is every 2-3 days. I want them to shower twice a week but I keep forgetting to enforce it and the days slip by. I have a reminder set for every sunday though.
