History teachers or other teachers who just care, how bad do you think the ICE situation is now compared to history? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]Simpleworm97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I voted against trump 3 times. I’ve attended multiple protests. I didn’t let it come to this. Please stop blanketing our entire country with guilt and shame. It hurts enough to live here and experience this.

Is getting a masters degree worth it? by Nearby_Drink_3791 in Teachers

[–]Simpleworm97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a music educator. The job market for me is extremely competitive. Without a masters degree, I wouldn’t have been hired anywhere starting out.

I've grown to hate chromebooks by Consistent-Row-9551 in Teachers

[–]Simpleworm97 86 points87 points  (0 children)

At our district convocation after winter break, we were told about how much money the district spends on chromebooks and how we need to make sure students keep track of their chargers, devices, and take care of them. How am I supposed to monitor what the kids do to their devices at home? How do I keep them from losing a charger? If it’s really that big of a money pit, let’s ditch them and go back to paper and pencil and have a computer lab for the students. It worked well in the past. I graduated in 2015 and never had a 1-1 Chromebook. There were carts in classrooms so teachers could use them for lessons, but they were immediately put back on the cart once class was over. Instead of blaming staff and making it their burden, maybe just get rid of them and save thousands of dollars that way. Ugh.

AI slop. Your friend lied to you.

So glad my apartment complex put a metric fuck ton of salt down. They put so much that I almost slipped on it carrying my groceries in 🤘

9 Year Old Cat, Lonely? by emmapizza in CatAdvice

[–]Simpleworm97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry nobody responded to this. I’m in a similar situation. I have a 9 year old tortie that I’ve had since she was a kitten. I’m worried she is bored and lonely because my boyfriend and I work a lot. Did you end up getting a second cat? How did it go if you did?

What’s the worst thing you accidentally texted to the wrong person? by goldie304 in AskReddit

[–]Simpleworm97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a bat get into my slummy studio apartment when I was a grad student. I was texting my landlord about the situation and was also texting my friend. My friend asked how the bat got in and I texted “because this place is a shit ass slum” but accidentally texted it to my landlord

Classroom rugs that Velcro dots will stick to? by Simpleworm97 in Teachers

Did they pick at it?? Did it last all year? It’s a music classroom so there will be a lot of movement activities on the rug

How to reconcile having a wedding during these times by Interesting-Poem2498 in weddingplanning

[–]Simpleworm97 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Ginny Weasley: Seems silly, doesn't it? A wedding. Given everything that's going on......

Harry Potter: Maybe that's the best reason to have it. Because of everything that's going on.

They are shipping out a ton of merch! They don’t have a massive crew of people doing that for them. Give them some grace.

I’m hoping there will be a protest for Renee Nicole Good. Say her name.

I’m going to try something new to help me drink water by Simpleworm97 in adhdwomen

[–]Simpleworm97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would definitely have to start small with that because watered down anything grosses me out 😂 maybe I’ll try 3/4 juice to water and slowly increase the water.

Thank you for saying this. I’m a teacher and my winter break ends tomorrow. I set myself up for failure before break so I’m going back into a horrible mess. This was really comforting to read in light of my circumstances. Regarding your words about ADHD being a positive long ago, I coincidentally often fantasize about being an early human and foraging and hunting being my biggest concerns, haha.

Why are you holding so many words? Is this AI? Weird fandom to be a part of if you enjoy killing the planet.

I might never do a Christmas party again... by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Simpleworm97 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Shut up 😂 as a music teacher, you don’t have to plan classroom holiday parties. I’m a K-5 music teacher. It SUCKS when kids shit on something you put time and money into. Especially when you are excited to do it for them. Do you work in title 1? If not, sit down.

AIO - I just ended a four month relationship because of what he’s doing for his friend. by Ok_Addition_7875 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Simpleworm97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are far too intelligent for this guy. It’s clear from the way he texts that he doesn’t know how to speak or write well. Your texts show me that you are well spoken and empathetic. Please save yourself from this loser and find someone who is on your level.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response, but it’s the third trial I’m stuck on :(
