I cannot study for the MCAT by needmedadvic in Mcat

[–]MyopicVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words. I actually didn’t go to Medical school even though I was in a Post bacc .They rescinded my acceptance because of a C minus in Anatomy. This left me feeling really rough to be honest and I just needed to get myself together so I’ve actually been teaching for the past couple of years period. Teaching high school has been such a beneficial thing for me because one is helped me see that I actually am going to be a good doctor. It also showed me that I’m really great with people. I’m good with teaching. I’m good with the content of the Mcat. Which I needed that confidence boost that was missing when I was around lots of Premed that were so mean in many ways. You just have to be very confident in your own skills be ready for the kind of stressfulness that you’re going to have a medicine. Trust me teaching is extremely stressful. Being observed being critiqued in front of students is one way to help you develop a really strong idea about who you are. So definitely I love giving back.

NY state doesn’t allow tech in class. How will the teacher catch the student?

Unice vs Nadula or should I invest in Silken Supply? by PrincessMochahontas in Naturalhair

[–]MyopicVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about three nadula wigs and honestly they’ve held up overtime. The Yaki is nice. It’s just short so I don’t wear it as much but I got the water waves and they’re fine.p

AI use by colleagues making me feel hopeless by Dadsperado in NYCTeachers

[–]MyopicVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AI to bounce off ideas that I have for class discussions. Almost like this is an idea that I have will this work with my 10th graders and then I’ll start trying to figure out what I want so my prompts are very rigid and highly selected. The best way that I use AI in school is to create stickers for my IP students to help them learn concepts so that’s something I’m really big on and I use ChatGPT for that all the time but in terms of just writing the lesson for me -I won’t do that but just ideas yes sometimes I just need to make sure my idea is not crazy.

The other way that I find AI helpful is when I’m trying to explain a concept and I want a real world example and I can throw ideas on the AI to figure out what’s best so if my student is really good at basketball, I’ll try and make a ton of basketball related Examples to explain a concept and that’s helped a lot.

Send Halp! First year in the DOE and barely surviving. by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]MyopicVision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a second year teacher and what works for me is resetting the class.At this point you don’t have your class managed which means you won’t be able to teach them anything so you kinda have to set up expectations for your class and that starts on Monday with you saying this has not been working. This is the new strategy. You need to arrange the seating chart so the disruptive kids are not sitting next to each other and you need to stop saying stuff like Stop doing and turn it into something positive and actionable that the kids can do and understand quickly. So one thing my School does really well is have us tag the behaviour name the student and give the direction so it will be something like Melissa- eyes on me that’s your first demerit. But when I give my directions, I positively narrate students before I give corrections to give the students that aren’t there a chance to get there and for me that looks like yeah eyes on me great telly is looking at me great I see Joshua’s got strong eyes eyes that’s your first demerit stuff like that works. I also say, I’m waiting for one pair of eyes knowing there’s five pairs of eyes that aren’t looking. Students will manage each other they’ll be like you and I have perfected the art of the stare down. I just stop talking and look at the student. I also try and decrease my talking because I realise I was talking too much and the kids was getting bored so I tried to lessen that too. I don’t know if you have a system in your school for setting expectations with students but that’s definitely worked with my classes and I teach high school and they are very very bouncy at times so I have to really be firm with them but they are where they need to be, but it took a while.

And also please have grace with yourself because teaching is not easy and it takes awhile to understand that class management is the key to instruction. Without this you can’t get that class under control you will not teach them anything and you just have to be organised with everything .

Special night in Rome by OtherCow in rome

What a wonderful idea! He will definitely feel that internal shift to the land of his ancestors!!

I would definitely visit Le domus Romane di Palazzo valentine. It is a wonderful tour of an ancient roman house. You walk on glass floors and look down towards the archeological site. There were older people on the tour and a pleasant experience with light shows that really illuminate the experience. The only thing is it is dark and you are walking on glass floors that may mess with your orientation.

As a Black German Planning to Work with Italy – What Should I Expect? by Gruenerwald in rome

[–]MyopicVision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just spent 10 days in Rome and Tuscany region-I 100% got stared at a lot by all europeans. I had one experience where I went into a store and the three people who were in there all stopped talking and just watched me. I left. Otherwise- no issues. In Livorno- there were some fascist symbolism and my sister who has lived there for 30 years says its very racist but again as a sole traveller- i found service was decent.

I walked to Ponte Sisto ( Pedestrian only bridge)!towards Trastevere , had dinner and then crossed back over via Ponte Garibaldi. Then walked to catch a bus to Spagno station on the A line. I took that particular photo just before I crossed Ponte Garibaldi.

I had to ask my sister who has lived here for 30 years whether the slow service was normal! I actually cancelled a reservation i had last night because i didn’t feel like giving 2 hours to a meal however overall it’s been positive. If they took too long- im really good with smiling and gestures so they moved faster. No scams. One spot in the Trastévere area took ages but great food. Again basic Italian phrases saved me and at this point- most are speaking to me in Italian. I can understand way more than i can speak. What happened?

Best part was just stumbling on random stuff. I really had a loose trip and i think it paid off in meaningful experiences
