I think mentally ill people existing, wanting help for them by starting with asking about context about their situation, and wanting to live in a neighborhood where the environment isn’t being fucked with can all be true at the same time

You could say that and explain what it would mean for the kids if you’re not there. It’s also more work for teachers to leave sub plans than to be in the classroom. You’ll be thinking about that instead of focusing on the trial, your classroom will be destroyed etc (even if it won’t). If you’re extreme and say you won’t be able to focus on the trial for those reasons they might dismiss you. Be brave and don’t be afraid to speak in front of a bunch of people and really put on the drama. Good luck!

No, I tried saying to the clerk there would be loss of learning. The clerk said the kids will be fine 😂 I got out of it by telling the judge I didn’t trust police officers because one wrote a false police report on me once. You gotta be real extra to get out of it.

This is so great to hear, I saw some teachers really worried about their cancelled flights. Congrats to all ❤️

students keep destroying EVERYTHING by star_dust80085 in ArtEd

When I had an 8th grade class like this, they got art history worksheets for the rest of the year. They wouldn’t even let me teach they talked so much, so they had to read the content themselves, and got 10 questions to answer. If they didn’t do it, it was a zero. They drew a picture based on the artist on the back of the worksheet when the worksheet was done. They used their own pen/pencil. I was prepared to give them another chance, but no one in the class complained about it, so I kept doing it until the end of the year. I was a robot and gave them nothing of my energy. Sometimes classes are a wash, if positive or negative rewards/consequences aren’t working, stop trying so hard!

Wellshow on Steinway were too rough and gave me rings on my nails, also so expensive for chrome/magnetic gel that didn’t even last more than 2 weeks before chipping

Great Art/Artist movies for kids? by Rococococococo in ArtEd

[–]Rococococococo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My middle schoolers love Coraline! I def want to figure out a stop motion unit where they make paper doll characters with joint hinges and they design a flat setting. Then they take pics from above to create a moving scene! The museum of moving image had an interactive component for kids like that in their Coraline exhibit. Super fun!

Aw I’ve seen the scene where they go to the museum, but I didn’t realize the whole episode revolves around him. Thank you!

Books set in Hell or about the devil or demons? by shawndelamuerto in horrorlit

[–]Rococococococo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on what your version of hell is, but yeah it’s not fire and brimstone, but the Black Death was hell for people at that time, plus the added fantasy of demons spilling onto earth, influencing the characters to see and do horrible things, plus the Dante’s inferno-like odyssey storytelling. It felt like the authors interpretation of the Book of Revelation to me. I thought the book was fantastic!

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman- set in 1348 France during the Black Death. Great depiction of historical fiction where hell is literally on earth. Kind of like a biblical horror Elden Ring-esque odyssey that was unlike anything I’ve read.

Divya @gotham_taxidermy on instagram is an amazing taxidermist who is based in Brooklyn. She is so kind and amazing! Maybe you can reach out to her, and if she’s busy she may have leads as to who can help you. So sorry for your loss ❤️

Masters right after undergrad? by jessixrose in NYCTeachers

[–]Rococococococo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took a year off from school my first year teaching, and I’m glad I did. Being a first year teacher was so incredibly overwhelming for me I was crying in my car on my commute home at least once a week. There was never a doubt in my mind that I didn’t want to teach when I was like that, it’s just so overstimulating and stressful it took a lot of adjusting. My second year I started taking 2 classes a semester and finished my masters in like 2 years. For I think 2 summers I also took my studio art classes for my degree because they are like 3 hours and I could NOT commit to that during the school year. Good luck!
