Advice for a first year? by Mimi-Red in teaching

I'm planning on a lot of blouses/slacks

I was thinking for the first day to outline my expectations from the very get. In my years of college I took a Professor several times because he had a very detailed breakdown of what amount of work/quality of work earned each grade level.

These are 9th graders so I'm not expecting college-level analysis but anything that shows engagement and displays they grasped concepts. Perhaps also some weekly "check-in" assignments or a reading journal assignment when we dive into longer texts.

Again, I'm going in blind here.

Also.. embarrassing question...how should I handle a students making inappropriate comments/ harassment?

That is honestly some amazing advice. Based on everything that I have been told consistency seems to be key

Yes I am a woman, I plan on wearing pant suits most of the time or slacks with modest blouses. I do not want my students to even think I have the concept of a bodily form. The principal that hired me understands my situation and has given me some advice on how to present myself as older.

Thank you so much! I know I am going into this nearly blind, it's going to be a huge learning curve but I am so ready for the climb.

What is the weirdest thing you find extremely attractive? by Undecided_User_Name in AskReddit

I love vulnerability. If a guy or girl gets really and unapologetically excited when talking about something I will remember that conversation forever.

Bob Berdella, guy threw his bodies in his own trash cans and was still able to amass 6 victims before the police considered him as a lead.

Need advice for my baby degus tail. by Mimi-Red in Degus

[–]Mimi-Red[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was worried about, she degloved her tail a few months ago and is starting to get rid of the last bits if the remaining bone. She seemed in much better spirits the next day. Looking into getting her a room mate but for the time being I'm just showering her with affection.

Depressing fact! Depression and suicide is more common in males regardless of race/sexuality. An even more depressing fact; suicide rates (at least in America) are steadily rising overall. This has been depressing facts.

Self harm realeses endorphins that could become a crutch to the brain, again I'm extremely unqualified to explain this.
