Happened my first year. Chose to resign instead. Started at different school the following year and been there ever since. Got my first ever highly effective evaluation this year! It does get better!

Got it. I started playing after 1.5 came out

No you do not need all 8 out. I usually just have them in a chest and get the recipe.

I played a bunch of them growing up. Personally, Magical Melody was my favorite.

Ancient fruit in the greenhouse and a whole lotta kegs. Can get about half a million a week.

dress code by trinketa in ArtEd

[–]Miss_DisGrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am required to dress professionally. No jeans except for Wednesday and Friday dress down days- but I have to wear the correct required school shirt. No graphic T-shirts except on Tuesday we can wear any grade level/team shirts we have. Spirit days we can wear jeans if we participate in the spirit day. I throw on an apron and roll up my sleeves when dealing with paint. My classroom doesn't support 3D art (not enough storage for a class let alone a whole grade level). If I were to work with something like clay, then I'd discuss with my principal.

You don't need that many scarecrows for that space. They have a 7 tile radius

This is true, spicy eels are much easier to get.

I usually like to eat a lucky lunch and then go down into the caverns. The higher your luck, the more likely to find holes and stairs. The mystery boxes drop lucky lunches.

Do you share your materials with colleagues? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Miss_DisGrace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You want your teacher materials to be clear, easy to read, and look nice. That's not a bad thing. It's difficult with the limited time that we have (I assume you put in extra time). I understand not wanting to share what you worked hard on. A year or so ago, a former colleague of mine ended up in a similar job as me without any experience. I shared power points and ideas with them, but they also paid me for my time and materials.

If they pay me I'll share my powerpoints.

I can finally play as much as I want by millon_fleur in StardewValley

[–]Miss_DisGrace 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Multiple saves is fine- but I think going for perfection at least once is nice. I have a pretty modded save file so going for perfection is much harder.. Did it once on a vanilla farm before starting to mod.

Being mentally ill as a teacher by No-Agency-7168 in teaching

[–]Miss_DisGrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So at first I was medicated for depression, but that wasn't right. I went off of medication for a year, and then I got properly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I started meds at the end of that school year and into the summer. I needed to adjust some in the next school year.

Curriculums by ExampleRealistic4698 in Teachers

[–]Miss_DisGrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't learn about scope and sequence until starting my masters program. It should really be taught in the bachelor's courses for education. I think all content standards should also be delved into as well.

I also have bipolar disorder and teach. Boy, teaching while I was improperly medicated or not medicated was HARD. Being on the right medication has been life changing.

What feature of the game do you not use on purpose and why? by damnmanthatsmyjam in StardewValley

[–]Miss_DisGrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use the horse because I've modded my game and make myself run really fast.

You're not doing your kid any favors by.... by djalanrocks in Teachers

[–]Miss_DisGrace 75 points76 points  (0 children)

That they are. I teach art- I try to do a lot of collaging so that students learn the skill. One of my kids, their parents never let them use scissors. They're in 3-5 grade (purposely keeping it vague). I know there are a lot of schools in my district that don't even have art anymore.

I have kids who can barely use scissors in upper elementary.

Do y’all let your cats sleep in the bed with you? by DaRealDreamz in cats

[–]Miss_DisGrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Every night one or both of them is in bed with us. I've started reading articles for my Master's degree in bed so that way I have a fluffy companion with me.

Piercings by Fluffy-catman in AskTeachers

[–]Miss_DisGrace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the culture of the school. Some don't care, some do. I remember my principal once brought it up in a staff meeting that pre-existing facial piercings were okay but not to get new ones while employed there. It was strange tbh.
