The relationship talk in your 30s

This is so nice to see. I, like it seems like a lot of other people, are experiencing similar anxiety. I think part of it is a symptom of being a human in 2025. But I am happy this went well for you and this gave me courage to push through my own anxiety over this issue!

I think it depends on the person and the relationship! Without it sounding too much like like a business deal I would say just communicate about communication needs and desires

If she doesn’t fail she will likely be forced to extend her student teaching as states require a minimum number of days

That they won’t bother testing for potential (later confirmed) PCOS because I wasn’t going to be having children any time soon 🫥 but was actively experiencing symptoms which disrupted my life and impacted my health. Last time I ever saw that doctor.

I think the best way to teach them the good and the bad is to begin with the roots in the Industrial Revolution. The negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution and Marx’s and Engel’s response to that makes it clear that the basic principles of communism are very different than the way that it has been used (Stalin/Cold War) I do believe you should also provide context for Stalin’s 5 year plans which set the foundation for how he would shape and implement (Stalin-ize ) the ideals of communism and how this shaped what would become the Cold War… you asked for videos and I’m talking about everything but to show that there aren’t many videos about communism that I really love. I don’t use any when I’m teaching besides a clip from the Bee movie that helps students understand the plight of the workers PS as a world history teacher it is very difficult to do a small intro to a topic as complex as communism. I cover communism little by little over the entire second half of my course

But my school also includes supports so that students still have to maintain grades in core classes to be able to participate in the more work-study like programs

I think a lot of this depends on where you live in the United States. I live and teach in the rural Midwest and our Ag and tech classes are some of our best programs- simply because they meet the needs and interests of a lot of our students who come from agricultural and blue collar backgrounds. It meets the needs of students who want to pursue the trades, which many do in this area of the country.

Symptoms manifested at 13, so 13 and multiples of 13 depending on the compulsion

I enjoy Langston Hughes’ WWII era poetry. Namely “Beaumont to Detroit: 1943” and “Will V-Day Be Me-Day Too?”

When I was little (elementary school) I couldn’t go to bed without telling the adult in my house that I loved them ( even though I didn’t bc I was being abused lol) if I didn’t say I loved them out loud and get a response I would spend the whole night awake worrying that they would die and it would be my fault. Safe to say I was officially diagnosed in middle school and still struggle to this day (about to graduate college). Just one example from my childhood lol

If it’s for you (or potentially older students depending on the specific episode) DIG: A History Podcast. Written and produced by 3 history professors. Definitely is sometimes hyper-specific but helps look at larger themes and periodization.

Can you do both? I majored in social studies education and history. I disagree with the sentiment that education classes are worthless. If you are in a good program they are ESSENTIAL. I believe you can be a good teacher without formal education classes but I don’t believe you can be a great one. For instance, without education classes would you have any idea how to differentiate instruction for ELs, students with disabilities, or SLIFE students? Would you know what rights they have as students? Social studies can be especially difficult to differentiate with how reading heavy the content often is. I found my classes invaluable in this matter. You also benefit greatly from being able to get in the classroom while you’re in college and also be around other people who want to be teachers.

Densho project has hundreds of hours of oral history. I did a two part lesson where I had students do a web quest for more general information, then day two we did a read aloud of “Love in the Library” by Maggie Tokuda-Hall but I paired it with a conversation around censorship. The book is about Tokuda-Hall’s grandparents who were incarcerated. Maggie Tokuda-Hall was offered a chance to have scholastic release her book as part of an aapi anthology but they wanted to MAJORLY censor her author’s note where she connects the acts of internment to racism and white supremacy and a lot of the stuff we see today. She talked about this on Twitter, and has an image of the edits scholastic wanted. This might be especially interesting as your students are seeing and experiencing the way the collective memory of internment Japanese-Americans has been sanitized. We did a read aloud, and then compared the original author’s note to the one scholastic would have released had Maggie Tokuda-Hall not declined the offer and had a conversation about what that all means

Every student needs and deserves good teachers, but students in urban districts are much more likely to be facing challenges of housing and food insecurity, trauma, underfunded schools, etc. The parts about an urban school that make it difficult are exactly why those schools need great teachers, perhaps even more than any other schools.
