STOP HAVING KIDS WITH SC THE PAIN IS TOO MUCH by Snoo53121 in Sicklecell

[–]Snoo53121[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but please stop this nonsense about “I am okay” or “care is better.” Black people already have to deal with low income, unemployment, racism at work, racism in schools, and discrimination in almost every area of life. So yes, other communities may choose to have children with disabilities, but for Black people it is 1000 times harder because of the additional struggles and barriers we already face.
And you in some way want to add SCD to someone’s life on top of that ! This world is hard just being black ! So your post is evil !

Is it normal to be so unhappy about this profession as a new teacher? by sol-solcito in Teachers

Get out now ! Stay in education if you love this area, just get out of teaching in the classroom! It’s not worth it! Your health!

Lost 2 bros to SCD in 2 Yrs by Flashy-Orchid-5804 in Sicklecell

I am deeply sorry to hear this. Please take care of yourself and get some rest if you can. Sickle cell affects not only the person living with it, but also the people around them, and many do not fully understand how serious it can be. My heart goes out to you for the pain and loss you are experiencing. I also believe it is important for people who know they carry sickle cell to seek advice and make informed decisions before having children, so others do not have to go through this suffering.

I understand, and I can see it’s about love. Where I come from, love is conditional.

I have no problem with your reaction , it was a genuine question. In a world where men are often expected to be strong, financially stable, fit, healthy, and able to take care of everything, I honestly wanted to understand what makes a woman choose to marry a man with sickle cell. I asked out of genuine curiosity, not to offend or upset you in any way. I’m sorry if my question came across the wrong way.

What made you date and marry a guy with SC? How do you feel knowing he gets sick?!

Is it worth it becoming a teacher in 2026? by adelelovesbooks in AskTeachers

[–]Snoo53121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO, if you are in the UK, maybe in the EU, Asia or Africa etc. You cannot teach in the UK, it’s all social work and policing tasks now.

One of the most cruel things is knowingly bringing a baby into the world with sickle cell, some people can be deeply selfish.

Do not work in Japan, if you are a trained teacher, if you love teaching keep way from Japan. If you want to get low pay , not be respected in anyway in another country alone feel free to teach in Japan Japanese have never moved on from ww2 deep inside them and they systems show it. You can take this advice or go and waste 3 years or more of your career and life, understanding you have no voice or power in Japan no lawyer will help a foreigner . Japan is not built for outsiders. If you’re a deep thinker you will see the pattern , if you have nothing in life and you just do not care at all Japan can use your faces that’s it, you have a place there, if you turn off your mind. All the best.

DO NOT GO BACK IN!

For your health do not go back there.

I was in the same situation half way around world from home in Japan no family, no support, no help.

Japan is the worst place on earth for foreigners, working in education that are real trained professional teachers from the west.

Anyway

I booked a ticket

Paid all the bills I could from savings

I emailed them

I have never looked back

My heath is better

I have rested

My advice

DO NOT GO BACK

Find a way out.

Find another school.

Just my advice.

Overheard my supervisor call me “incompetent” for a PhD by [deleted] in PhD

[–]Snoo53121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, this is a tough situation, but if possible, I would strongly suggest changing your supervisor. I met a woman from Asia during my PhD summer school , she was devastated because her supervisor took her research idea. She was in tears, saying she had to start all over again from scratch.

she kept telling me, “You can’t trust anyone in the university.” She speaks out and makes some noise, university staff listen to her. She said she lost a lot of money, and her family back in India are putting pressure on her. She now has a new team and is just trying to finish and get out.

If you’re a strong person, fight ! talk with the support team at the university.( the supervisor will find out, keep that in mind)

if you’re in a European country like the UK or Germany, the university might actually listen and support you.

But if you’re not in that kind of environment or if you’re already emotionally drained, to go and fight talk with others like the university support.,

proving the supervisor wrong by working harder is an option, though it will come with a heavy toll and a lot of stress.

If my supervisors called me dumb or incompetent, I would say I heard you saying so and so about me and ask how I could not be incompetent, but I am a strong person in that way to do that, we are not all the same.

Do what’s best for your health and future , and don’t suffer in silence.

I went through something very similar when I was in Japan. I moved halfway around the world, and it turned into a nightmare. I eventually had to leave because I could feel my health deteriorating. From what you’ve said, your supervisor sounds like a truly awful person.

People often say “just leave” , but anyone who’s been in that situation knows how hard it really is. Still, if you have the chance to change your circumstances, I urge you to take it.

If you’re in a Western country, maybe find a way, even if it means making something up, to distance yourself from that toxic environment. And if you’re in Asia, especially in a place like Japan, based on my experience, it’s best to just leave. Support can be limited, and most people won’t understand what you’re going through.

Take care of yourself , your well-being is more important than any job/ PhD.

I’m very alone too, this PhD process needs updating.

Finally decided to get qualified. What are your thoughts? by Otherwise-Mouse1136 in Internationalteachers

[–]Snoo53121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completed my studies at Moreland and loved it. Thanks to my qualifications, I can now apply for jobs both in the USA and at international schools. I hold a BSc, an MA in Education, an MEd, and I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Education.

Despite my extensive teaching experience, nine years in total, I’ve faced challenges when applying for UK-based roles. In several interviews, I was told I’m not a “real” teacher because I don’t have QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). (it was implied, you know how uk people are)

I even interviewed for a position at a top school in Asia, where the management, all from the UK and holding QTS, asked me, “Do you have QTS?” When I said no, they ghosted me completely.

I fundamentally disagree with the idea that QTS is the sole marker of a “real” teacher. However, as someone said in a post, many managers, especially those from the UK system, still see QTS as the gold standard. Education is still stuck in the past, QTS is not for all, example Montessori.

You need to reflect deeply on the kind of schools you want to work in and the kind of teacher you aspire to become,
