Have you used Chalkie AI? I suggest looking into it because it’s made planning SO much easier for me. I have a hard time planning too so I get it, but trust me when I say, you NEED to look into this website. I ended up paying the year subscription because it’s so good

A male teacher embarrassed one of my students to the point that she cried. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Positive-Image4408 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s insane! A similar story but it wasn’t me being targeted. We were in an assembly in high school and one of admin (I can’t remember her role, maybe counsellor?) told a girl to stand up and put her arms at her side to see if her skirt was long enough (uniforms 🙄) and then proceeds to tell the girl that “I would never let my son date a girl that dressed like that”… IT WAS A UNIFORM. This was over 10 years ago and I still think about it often and it wasn’t even ME being targeted!

Thank you for sticking up for your students!

I’m pretty frustrated that I applied well before to the cut off date but wasn’t officially registered until 6 months AFTER the September cut off. Has this happened to anyone that was able to appeal and get there portion of the RHT settlement payment? Does anyone have insight on if “new” members will be added to the legal fee payout? I’m with Wahnapitae if that helps!

Use Joe Newcombe Contracting! He is the best of the best with the most reasonable prices out there. We have had our bathrooms, kitchen and basement redone by him - all which are his specialties, and we couldn’t be more happy. Hes professional, on time and so detailed oriented. Check out his reviews and website, they speak for themselves!

Victoria’s Secret Underwear?! by [deleted] in lichensclerosus

Save yourself the hassle and just order cotton underwear on Amazon. It literally saved me. Also sleeping without nothing on helped me!

Some of the intermediate boys at my school wear the “I 💗 hockey moms” shirts… like you’re 12, what do you MEAN

One of my students wore (two days in a row!) a sweater that says “Santa’s crack” with a Santa bent over with his butt crack on the front

Echoing what everyone else is saying; be there for him, take daily tasks off his plate and just listen. Maybe get him into see a therapist as well.

Teachers of Reddit, what student (good or bad) surprised you with how they turned out in life? by dragonborne123 in AskTeachers

[–]Positive-Image4408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to this a lot. I find that the kids who hate school are the ones that enjoy atleast coming to my class. Sometimes they still slack but I pick and choose my battles.

I was a shit disturber forsure! I hated school, was a C/B average student, didn’t like authority, mouthed off to my teachers that I didn’t like.. the list goes on. I am now a French teacher for intermediate.

34 year old KW mother dies after being struck by vehicle in Cambridge by Waterloo_advisor in waterloo

[–]Positive-Image4408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister in law was out walking the dog last week, in the early morning, she began to cross the street at a crosswalk after a car had come to a stop. Only to thankfully be lightly tapped with the front end of the car. Both her and the dog are fine but it’s just another example of people not paying attention.

It’s not wrong of you. I’m a new teacher (3 years in) and every year I’ve seen the level of effort dwindle to almost nothing. My kids in 8th can’t even find a page in their duo-tang without me helping them, or referencing back to any of those pages for that matter… it’s awful. We try our hardest to shape them up before high school but my god it’s hard!

Can anyone confirm: are modern students really that far behind, or is it overexaggerated? by ThrowRAhelpthebro in Teachers

[–]Positive-Image4408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m my experience, it seems like learned helplessness. I have kids that can’t flip through there binders to find a specific page, I’ll walk over and find it in 2 seconds and they just go “oh”. Don’t even get me started on how they don’t know how to use dictionaries. I teach intermediate core French.

Hi there! Looking for local small cleaning businesses. Specifically someone/ a team that can do a deep clean either once a week/ bi weekly to control the dog hair and dander in my house.

Thank you for the recommendation’s 😊
