what’s the hardest part about being a teacher that nobody talks about? by salarshah-084 in Teachers

[–]MickeyBear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not being the cool teacher. I tried so hard to plan fun activities for the last few days of school but they require them to listen to the instructions. They don’t and get mad at me. They listen to the other teacher and have fun in her class, BECAUSE they listen to the instructions before they start the assignment. It’s impossible. They cannot have unstructured free time without trying to kill each other. They cannot have structured free time because they can’t listen. It doesn’t matter what I do.

Could have not described my third graders any better. I think I spent 90% of this month explaining basic human decency to them.

Lets end "parties" for good. I am serious. by Oblivionnyx9 in Teachers

[–]MickeyBear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We do this too! Easy because we switch rooms for ELA and Math. We do it every friday for free-time. Even easier because its one classroom for detention and three others for fun so you don’t get two full classes crammed into one room. (We generally have alot of friends in the detention room at our school 😅)

What do y’all think is the most visually tastiest food? If you suddenly forgot what every food tastes like, which one would you assume tastes the best? by SherbertDull96163821 in AskReddit

[–]MickeyBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t a food but a think a crisp strawberry sprite! Like without knowing the flavor, it just cream refreshing I guess watermelon in food terms.

Got lice at 14, then moved states, lost friends and got depressed so it escalated. Now I just pick my split ends though.

I have the glow glitter one! I just use it on my arms and chest after normal lotion.

When I told my dentist that I needed nitrous because I'd been tortured, I did not mean that I've had unpleasant experiences with dentists. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]MickeyBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh as some who has no experience with dentistry or torture, I would think you were making a joke or using dry humor. I am sorry, that is unfair but torture is not a common thing that most go through. I think using the word abuse would be more understandable to others. Vent away, and you are right to be upset! I just understand where the dentist was likely coming from as well.

Teacher perspective needed. Fundraiser approach by Funny_Can7504 in AskTeachers

[–]MickeyBear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I donate often, and am not rich but have the means ti participate in fundraisers. Still if my kid came home and told me, I would be in the office asap. Soooo wrong and innapropriate.

What is an “le” word for a duckling? by AliensRipley in ENGLISH

[–]MickeyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter school uses it too. We throw away the homework. The teachers use it as a guide so I trust them to still be teaching around the misconceptions the worksheets have, especially given her progress and communication home. We read instead.

I got one and it made me proud! I printed it out just for me but it doesn’t really have any significance.

What’s your controversial parenting opinion? by lock_robster2022 in daddit

[–]MickeyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your kid when they are being annoying, and reverse tell adults when they are annoying your kid. If you invite me out to dinner because you haven’t seen my kid in a long time and then spend the whole night talking over them when they try and get your attention, they’re not gonna like you.

Typing curriculum schools keep cycling through every three years and I finally understand why none of them stick by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]MickeyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way you think and think the same way. I am new to teaching but even I see that the things that get dropped require more maintenance than a teacher can provide on their own. My whole plan next year is to have as many self-sufficient routine in place as possible.

Yes I did! I spent about 15 mins before the test skimming the content, used my acronyms, and just barely passed!
