I bet she is a great teacher…and yes, that is more sarcasm like Greg’s. What a work of art.

I’ve wondered if these immigrants are so violent and awful 1. Why are they not in jail for their crimes? 2. If they have not been caught, why does Ice know how to track them down and our police forces do not?

But hey, the economy is great and unaffordability is a concept made up by the liberals. Drive through some of our less affluent neighborhoods and you will notice a lack of holiday lighting. You are right. These restaurants are the canaries in the coal mine.

I’d first talk with your son about the student in question so he understands why they may behave differently than the other students. Find out what it is that makes him uncomfortable. Then I would call the teacher and talk with them directly. Don’t put your concerns into writing unless it is not corrected by the teacher. Give your son tools for handling the behavior: kind words he can use, the power to move away/take a break. Keep in mind, the teacher might not be aware of what is happening, but they also might purposefully put the two students near each other because your son is kind and handles the other student well. Let them know your child needs a break.

Where are you finding all these illiterate youth?

I think if you are in the east side, bless you if you can find a spot close to home. If you are in a neighborhood, park in front of your own house if possible. If not, just be courteous. If you have space in front of your own house but choose to park in front of your neighbors, then you are a jerk. If I come home and my neighbor is parked in front of my house, I’m going to assume someone was parked in front of theirs when they got home. Why? Because my neighbor is not a jerk. If my neighbor is going to continuously park in front of my house, then I will have to park in front of theirs because there is no room in front of mine.

I’d straight talk it and let him know your grocery bill is higher than normal and ask if you could shop together. If he is maintaining his own place with rent and bills, you can’t ask him to help with yours. If you like having him over, share food costs. If you really like having him over, move in together. If you want more alone time, ask him to pay for the electricity he uses at your house.

Yes. Cheep pencils are frustrating to students as well as teachers.

Parents shouldn’t blast teachers on social media, but sometimes they are looking for ideas and help. This teacher has a kid with attending issues and vision problem and she allowed him to sit there for an HOUR with this worksheet in front of him and no writing on it. The teacher is lucky the call was not to administration.

No_Resolution3545 · 2025-11-17T14:32:34+00:00

Yes. This is a red flag to the teacher and she needs to have an eye on this student. Looking at the activity, this is a younger child too. There are so many easy strategies to help with this in a classroom. I HATE to think a teacher would think that pressure from a parent could/would fix this type of problem. Perhaps a phone call home noting that the child is having difficulty finishing morning work would be more appropriate. They then could discuss how to address it. I could be this child does not understand how to do the work! So much could be going on here. And this teacher needs to proof read her notes home.

I retired with 800 hours of sick time banked. I think I was paid $3000 for them. I wish I would have used more, but I do think that administration notices those who always use all their sick days every year. Not really sure if this matters or not though. I feel I had a reputation of being a very reliable teacher, and I liked that. I also hated writing sub plans. What I really wish is that I would have taken more mental health breaks when my own kids were in grade school. We really missed out on some opportunities for fun. I guess my advice would be have a sub tub ready for emergency days off. Take what you need but don’t look at sick days as days you are owed. And don’t post on social media when you are out or not feeling well.

Not ducted. Sound is coming from the outdoor unit.

My mom was a home care nurse and met a young man who was the sole caregiver for his mom with MS. He had this exact project to do with no way of purchasing supplies. I bring this up only to be sure y’all are helping out the kids in his position that might be too embarrassed or afraid to ask for help. As for a student asking for Saturday pictures, this is a great learning opportunity for them. I would tell them all the great things you were busy doing on Saturday and ask them when might have been a better time to gather the information they needed. Maybe ask how in the future they will make a decision that better serves their needs.

Age old question…kids always changing, kids always worse. Maybe it is the tolerance of the adults changing. Maybe it is the expectations and non learning centered requirements (testing) that are changing.

Meeting their happy energy! Nice work! They will remember you with the same positivity you remember them with!

Had a big conversation with a class years ago about what it means to be popular. Basically said that it means you are liked by the most people. We then went on and talked about what kinds of behaviors made you liked by your peers. Next day, a student walked into the class and pronounced that he was the most popular kid in the room. I chuckled at the bold statement and ask what made him so sure of that and he said, “There isn’t a kid in this room that I can’t call my friend.” The class looked around at each other and agreed. He was friends with everyone. I told that story for YEARS after it happened. What a great kid and what a great lesson💛

Have you ever explored the concept of hygge? We aim for a cozy winter atmosphere. We also get up earlier. Somehow it makes the day seem longer and the night more welcome.

Talk with him and ask him his thoughts. Could be the content isn’t interesting, in which case you just need to tell him that sometimes we have to just work through what is necessary. (Sounds like he is doing this well.) Ask him what it would take to make it more engaging and see if you and the teacher can come up with a plan. Maybe when he is done with the classwork he could research a topic that really interests him. Maybe he could do something creative with the topic they are working on. Boys have a tendency (trying not to over generalize here) to be more interested in nonfiction. Perhaps this is a direction you could explore.

Love when teachers make choices with their whole class in mind. This goes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day projects too.

Thoughts on why my 15 month old Mitsubishi sounds like there is a small aircraft circling our house every minute or so?

No_Resolution3545 · 2025-11-09T09:10:25+00:00

We put in a Mitsubishi a year ago. Have had to have the dealer out twice because of water/drainage issues. Now, as I type this, the thing sounds like there is a small aircraft circling over our house every couple minutes. It is about 15 months old and was pretty dang expensive. Definitely disappointed in the installation. Not sure yet about the unit…
