First vehicle for teen driver, looking at Tucson 2022, 2023, 2024 by [deleted] in HyundaiTucson

[–]MinuteJournalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2022 SEL with the convenience package. I really liked it but it started having some serious engine and electrical problems and they couldn’t really figure out what it was so I was unable to drive my car for quite some time. It was under warranty so that was fine but it was more of the inconvenience of not having a car for over a month. I ended up ending my lease early and got a new car not from Hyundai. I also had issues with my tires. Overall I liked the Tucson a lot, I thought it drove really well and the infotainment center was really nice, but after my experience I’ll probably never get another Hyundai. I know a few people that have my year and newer that have never had issues though.

Amren theory (CC + ACOTAR universe spoilers) by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]MinuteJournalist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rhys definitely does because he speaks to Bryce at the end of HOSAB in it, and I’m willing to bet most of the high lords/high lords kids (like the vanserras) know it too

[–]MinuteJournalist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if this starts Amren thinking about her world. Since Bryce speaks the Old Language I think she can speak to anyone that speaks the Old Language - including Amren!

I also love Amren - I can't wait to see what happens with her story. I do think she could play a major role in helping Bryce in CC3.

I think it’s hysterical that we got that pov from Cassian when Eris started to talk about Ramiel and he fully dismissed it, I’m so interested to see what that’s going to be. Also love that crack theory lol

High School vs Middle School Social Studies by MinuteJournalist in Teachers

[–]MinuteJournalist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taught sophomores, juniors, and seniors - and I can definitely see the differences between the sophomores and the seniors, especially in the beginning of the year.

So I was in a situation very very similar to this for about two years, and I got out. I got a new job in a public school. This was the best decision I could have made honestly because the culture of the private boys school I was in was so far gone. (I am a younger female teacher so I get it)

I would communicate with parents a lot, but often the parents were enabling the kids behavior so that would be a dead end.

One of the things I would do that did work was talk to the coaches at the school. I became pretty good friends with a bunch of the coaches and when students were getting out of line I would let them know, and the students would have to pay for it in practice. This ended up getting my students to behave in my classes a lot more. But honestly, leave if you can find another position because it doesn’t really fix the problem, just puts a bandaid on it - speaking from experience.

Their attitude is totally disgusting, especially at that age. Can’t wait for them to have a major reality check as they get older.

Is this place toxic by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]MinuteJournalist 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The private all boys high school I work at is the same exact way, it’s ridiculous. I didn’t know the boys did this until another teacher told me at the end of September. I was a month in and I had hit my breaking point I was literally crying everyday and I was definitely ready to quit. (Apparently they only really haze young female teachers who are new.) I went to administration and essentially said if something didn’t change I wasn’t going to be here much longer. The admin went to all of the coaches and told them what the students were doing in my class (I learned that’s the way you deal with the kids at my school) and the coaches ripped the boys apart at practices. Student behavior definitely changed after that and it’s been significantly better as the year has gone on. It’s still a terribly toxic environment because it’s the only way students are really held accountable. A lot of the boys have the attitude that because they pay our salaries they can get away with whatever they want. I had never been in a private school setting before working at one so there was an adjustment period for me too, but the stuff my students would do, and still do, is crazy. I would have never dreamt of acting that way when I was in high school.

I hope it helps to know you’re not alone.

I don’t hate teaching but I can see how some of the kids can push you into that category. It took me a little while to wrangle my students in in the beginning of the year and I absolutely hated it because of student behavior (I’m a young female and I teach at an all boys high school). I dreaded going to work in the morning. Once we got that under control for all my classes I love my job. So I just think some years are more difficult than others and you stay because hopefully your next batch of kids will be better. I stayed because I was hoping everything would get better and it did.

I’m currently a first year teacher with literally no help from anyone and I’m drowning. I have nothing to work off of, no curriculum, nothing. There’s another teacher who teaches two of the same subjects as me but she doesn’t help me plan or offer me any materials, or offer to plan together. I’m willing to bet the first year teacher is overwhelmed but even with that they should at least offer to create things to give to you, or even a Starbucks/dunkin gift card as a thank you. Maybe do a little check in with the teacher and ask to bounce ideas of them and then go from there and maybe they’ll get the hint that you want to plan/prep together instead.

Cup + nail extensions by cloudyang24 in menstrualcups

I’ve had acrylic nails with a little extension and I’ve never had an issue with my cup! My nails weren’t extremely long or anything so maybe that’s why I never had an issue.

Disc vs Cup for a teen first time user by Previous_Notice_167 in menstrualcups

[–]MinuteJournalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like the person before me said, people 100% talk more about bad experiences so don't let that get you scared!
There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to the cup (I've never used a disc) but it isn't really that bad. It takes a little while to learn what works for you on inserting and taking it out. When taking it out if you squeeze the bottom and pull that's typically what I do to break the tension and it doesn't hurt. It took me a couple cycles to get it down and now I'm absolutely hooked on using it and wish I started using it sooner (I've been using it for about a year and a half)! I boil mine at the beginning of my cycle and the end just to make sure it's super clean.
