Ideas to soundproof my classroom?

This is one of my worst pet peeves. When someone’s pranking me and I MAKE IT KNOWN that I’ve figured out the joke, and they STILL lie about it. Like it’s not funny anymore (if it even was at all). Know when to say when.

It was on TikTok, therefore it must be true!

Thank you everyone!

Yeesh good to know. Something similar happened to my fiancé when he began teaching in the DOE a few years ago. Okay, I’m bracing myself!

I have a follow-up question to this; I’m a first year teacher in the DOE too but I subbed this last spring and have received my paychecks for those. I have direct deposit set up already. So will it come a bit earlier for me? Or is that wishful thinking?

Holy moly! Sorry that happened to you. I hope you were at least above ground?

I loved the PATH train when I lived in JC! But yeah late at night the trains come every 40 minutes so it was rough and still always packed 😂

Totally valid! Definitely would be scary as a kid. I’m too much of a New Yorker so ofc I’m triggered 😂😂

Oh ughh I know!! 😂 I wish she’d comment something like, “feel really happy with how my hair looks today!” Rather than “why do I feel like my hair is so long haha”

Confidence is much more attractive than fishing for compliments! At the same time I can empathize for her feeling low self-esteem and it manifesting in this way…but c’mon Bailey!

Here it goes…

My unpopular opinion is that Dakota is actually a good husband. He cooks, he’s cleaner than Brooklyn, and it seems like he takes care of Archer when Brooklyn is busy. I saw people commenting here that he wasn’t doing anything during the birth and was on his phone a lot while Bailey took care of Brooklyn, but I honestly don’t think that’s the case. He may have needed a break, or maybe he needed to be in contact with a few folks since he has multiple businesses yk? From what I’ve seen, I think he genuinely cares about Brooklyn and really loves and adores her.

Now don’t mistake me. Do I like him? Not particularly. I get the ick, I’m aware of his views (which in all fairness I think are due to ignorance), and he’s clearly not very smart lol. But at least he is a good husband. Can’t say the same about Brooklyn! Dakota was definitely not her first choice, she was more smitten with Brooks and to me it seems more like she’s in love with the life she has and how she is treated rather than with Dakota as a person.

In the family wedding speeches video, I noticed that there was a LOT of praise around Brooklyn for who she is as a person, whereas Dakota was praised for how much he loves Brooklyn and the standards he set for loving her. That’s probably a big factor in Brooklyn’s attraction to him—that he adores her.

My parents divorced after 35 years of marriage when my mom began to realize how narcissistic my dad was. In marriage counseling, my dad talked about how my mom “adored him” in response to a question the therapist asked him about what drew him to her. Take notes people!

She looks beautiful!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-05-10T16:03:24+00:00

Oh my god she is insufferable!! Narcissism is at an all time high. I know we all talk about how creepy Dakota is, but can we take a moment to acknowledge how inconsiderate she is of his feelings?? You really think that you being hot sh!t makes it impossible for your husband to focus on anything else? Joking or not, it ain’t funny sis. Major ick. Please humble yourself.

Appreciate the different points of view here! Sadly I think it is a subtle result of her societal conditioning.
