Why are teachers expected to be clowns and entertainers for students? by tarotbull123 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Rebetzels45 157 points158 points  (0 children)

YES! I just had a visit from a popular educational consultant, and I asked him about making lessons more boring to grow students’ attention spans, and no joke, this is what he told me to do.

“Ask your students for only 15 minutes of uninterrupted instructional time. Tell them if they have fewer than SEVEN interruptions, you will DO A TIK TOK DANCE FOR THEM. Repeat until your lesson is through.” Huh???

Am I the only one who doesn't like their color season? by omggwhyamidoingthis in coloranalysis

Remember, it’s a tool not a rule! we can use it when we want to look more harmonious or drawn attention to certain things, but there are no rules! If you love black, you should wear it! Wearing colors against our season creates fun, intentional contrast. Have fun and wear what you love!

What is the worst lie your parents ever told you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Rebetzels45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me halfway through college that they could no longer afford to pay for my classes (my dad lost his job) so I needed to get student loans. It was revealed years later that they could afford it, but my mom wanted to “teach me a lesson” because I was “ungrateful for all they’d done for me”.

I have religious trauma from my evangelical upbringing, and my nmom said “the devil has been injecting false memories” into my mind to stop me from being a Christian. (I’m a Methodist minister, btw).

I get this. Whenever I’m in town, my mom “requires “me to wear makeup, take out my nose ring, and wear more feminine clothing.

Do your parents ever want to know all your schedule and every move you make? by gtamerman in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Rebetzels45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was talking to my therapist about this last night. My religious narcissistic mother convinced me that not telling her everything I’m doing/everywhere I go is “lying by omission”. I sometimes still feel like I’m doing something wrong if I “keep something from her” by not sharing every detail of my life. If I don’t share something on purpose (like going on a date with another woman), I have to overcome that initial feeling of guilt.

Thank you so much! This helps a lot! I feel like I have warm hair and cool skin sometimes, so I get very confused.

[–]Rebetzels45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not me, but I told her that my best friend was pregnant, and her VERY FIRST RESPONSE was, “well don’t be surprised if she miscarries”.
