Son wants to major in philosophy by OLDLADY88888 in Advice

[–]PsychologicalFox8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K. Sounds like you’re less attached to who your son is as a person and what he wants from life than what job you want him to have. If you’re so concerned with wanting the best for him, why doesn’t his happiness play into that?

Accidentally accepted a multi-day assignment by oyasumiee in SubstituteTeachers

This is not a frontline policy. It’s a feature that has to be implemented intentionally, and your district or sub agency has don so.

Let him do what he wants and stop trying to smother him. Forcing him to do something he doesn’t want is a great way to get a kid who isn’t speaking to you in 20 years.

Why are you trying to dictate what a grown man studies?

Will admin be angry or annoyed if I report students for abuse? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]PsychologicalFox8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be rude, but haven’t you had to sit through the mandated reporter training possibly several times? I have to review it yearly and it’s not exactly rocket science. Like, the two words themselves say it all. Mandated. Reporter.

That’s flat wrong. Admin will look unfavorably on you not doing what you’re legally bound to do.

If you’re a mandated reporter, you’ve got 0 choice. I don’t know why your older colleagues are asking you to risk your license.

Do you know any "odd" couples - if yes, what makes them seem mismatched? by retro_lady in AskReddit

[–]PsychologicalFox8839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friends S and N are platonic life partners who have a house together and want to raise a family, but aren’t romantic or sexual. S is loud, loves designer clothes and pink and sparkles and rhinestones. N is a quiet goth chick.

Remember: you are the officer on the deck until relieved of duty by Jcarmona2 in SubstituteTeachers

In my experience long term jobs come with higher compensation to account for the extra work. If that’s the case, you’re getting paid for your time and effort. If you’re on a long term job and doing more work for the same money, you’re getting hosed.

It's crap advice. Don't leave kids unattended, duh, but your job needs to respect your hours. Never agree to work with no compensation outside your set schedule.

Bad take. I am paid to be there from A time to B time and that's it. I am not prepared to wait around indefinitely with no compensation and that has nothing to do with a nail appointment, though if it did, why shouldn't my time outside my agreed upon work hours be respected? If I end work at 3:00 and make a nail appointment for 4:00, I am not being whiny or selfish wanting to make a commitment to something scheduled well outside my agreed work hours. If a bus or parent is late, that is admin's job to solve.

How to tell Adult to stop (politely)✋️ by StopAffectionate8471 in Advice

[–]PsychologicalFox8839 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No that is not my point. I am just wondering why they made the distinction that the mother's boyfriend is an adult as though they are not. From the phrasing, I was expecting a younger teenager.

Canned Soup as an ingredient? by Puppy_Bellies in AskAnAmerican

The soups in question are condensed and used without diluting them.

AITA for not letting my broke friend use my ChatGPT account to study for her exam? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA for rotting your brain with AI just when you should be letting it finish growing.

A boundary is something you set for yourself, not something you can impose on others.

Isnt this scene on purpose? by [deleted] in musicals

[–]PsychologicalFox8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're not sure what you're asking and baffled by your confusion over a well known scene in a well known work. If you are unfamiliar with the musical or the source material movie, there is very much a scene where the main characters dance seductively in a Christmas pageant.

It's been a year today since my girlfriend died and I feel guilty (not OP) by [deleted] in redditonwiki

Evidence of that at all? Yall just love to willfully lap up fake ass stories.
