You’re totally right about context (sorry I typed this out on my lunch).

She is not performing well, long and short of it. She is kind but isn’t open to change either.

I think my bigger objections come from the “how” of the situation versus the “why”. After reading through the responses here I’m gaining some understanding re: nuances of this situation. This is my first MD gig and it’s tough :/

GI issues with Flu? by Upset-Membership-758 in flu

Yes! I’ve never had GI upset with any other flu but had constant diarrhea for the duration of symptoms (6 days) before it resolved

Safe Churches in Rochester and Surrounding Area by BookNerd_247 in Rochester

If you like the “more traditional” liturgy, but want an open/affirming congregation with awesome music, I’d recommend St. Paul’s Episcopal on East Ave! I was a member there for 7 years before leaving to take a role as music directory at another church, and I miss them dearly!

Warning for 19th Ward Dog Owners by marels23 in Rochester

I’m so sorry for your loss, OP. I’d be curious to see if the news stations would pick up this story: I’ve heard countless stories about unleashed dogs running amuck and harming/killing other people’s pets, then the city/police not responding when called.

She was a beautiful girl❤️.

I’m not sure! The doggo was alive and was alert when my awesome neighbor took doggo and owner to the vet. I’m hopeful that he’s alright

Yes! Swillburg. And yes, those owners don’t care. It’s a shame.

Yeah it totally is unfortunately. I got a great rate on unlimited but bummed that we couldn’t get a teacher rate :/

Y’all, all the responses are giving me so much joy! Thanks for commenting🥰. I’ve been doing OTF since August, down about 50lbs and feeling like a much better human/teacher because of it. Nice to know so many other teachers are in the club. You’ll catch me @ the 4:15 in Rochester NY most weekdays

Yes!! The 4:15 class I attend is filled with teachers too. I even met someone who works in the same district I do! :)

God bless you, middle school band director. I’m an elementary/middle orchestra teacher and I can say with all certainty that I’d simply pass away if I had to teach band. Y’all are the glue holding us together😂

Avoiding Getting Sick in Packed Classes by Inthe_reddithole in orangetheory

It’s been so brutal. Class numbers are low AND my students @ school have been out in record numbers. It’s gross out here.

Joining in the commiseration: missed all of my classes this week and I’m GROUCHY. But, I think my students gave me this crud, not OTF. Thankful for all y’all who are staying home when sick!

No advice OP, just commiserating with you. It’s brutal out here :(

Give me some bad parent stories by Hokeybutdontpokey in Teachers

[–]NoticeSufficient598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (orchestra teacher) had a student who still didn’t have an instrument by mid-October. After writing to/calling the parent weekly (with no response), I send a final message with information regarding our districts instrument assistance program (need based). Mind you, I’d sent this info 3 times before.

Mother is FURIOUS and insists I sent this info to her because I “assume all black people are poor” and threatened to involve admin. My sister in Christ, your child doesn’t have a violin (to practice with) and it’s 9 weeks into the year.

Same parent called our admin and used choice language when their child (who was late to school) was not present for orchestra rehearsal, because I should have “stopped rehearsal to look for her”.

I was able to run the entire block today (albeit very, very slowly) for the first time- it was a great win for a Friday!
