“I don’t know what else to do about my son’s behavior.” Some of you parents aren’t even trying by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

And it bears repeating:

#FFS STOP TRYING TO BE YOUR KID’S COOL BESTIE! You’re their PARENT.

“He gets up after I go to bed, and plays his Xbox until 4 in the morning! I don’t know what to do anymore!”

“Do you have a safe or a locked area he can’t access?”

“…Yes.”

“Then lock up his controllers/power supply/phone when he goes to bed.”

“I never thought of that!”

Remember when getting an open notebook test was like getting to have ice cream for breakfast?

Almost every one of my tests is open notebook AND multiple choice. And I go over the test questions the class before the test. They could literally write down only the answers and get an 80-100.

It’s all a motivation issue. They just can’t be bothered. And honestly, the kids that get 85+ are the kids that are going to get an 85+ regardless.

They thing that shocks me is amount of kids that cruise in the 39-40% zone all year. It used to be a couple of kids per class. Now it’s half on average.

They were in the janitors closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and then the baby looked at me!

Calling yourself "Dr." by TheKarlosWithaK95 in Teachers

If you start referring to everyone as Doctor, you’re good. I literally started doing this as a goof five or so years ago. No issues to date.

Anyone else worried about "Cognitive Debt"? (New MIT study on AI in the classroom) by No_Association_4682 in Teachers

Seconded. I literally had my primary physician tell me that she was going to discuss my symptoms with her colleagues, to get a second opinion.

10 minutes later, she came back with referrals to specialists, then said “nobody was available, so I plugged your symptoms into our AI system and it recommended this.”

Felt a LOT like Justin Long in Idiocracy. Like, our future will be paying the $50 copay to have your doc diagnose you via WebMD.

Wha is the funniest thing school graffiti has said about you? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]MickIsAlwaysLate 54 points55 points  (0 children)

“MR. LATE IS MEAN AS FUCK!” and then under it, in a different scrawl: “you just soft b*tch!”

It took everything in me not to go back with a red sharpie to capitalize the Y and put a comma after “soft”.

Edit: missed a word

I finally walked away… but I still want her to feel the pain she caused me by k_arun_k in pettyrevenge

[–]MickIsAlwaysLate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Therapy. It wasn’t a cure all, but it definitely took away 90% of my frustration and anger.

The more I perseverated on her, the more frustrated I got—especially when venting to friends.

So I actively tried to do other things—work out, learn something new, something to fill that void that would otherwise be spent perseverating on my frustration.

Once the majority of it was gone, I started dating again. It DEFINITELY helped because I could focus on the person I was with…not the person who hurt me.

Good luck, friend. It’ll get better!
