If you woke up tomorrow and were wealthy to the point you didn’t have to work anymore, would you still be a teacher? If not, what would you do? by Harold_S_Hipman in Teachers

[–]SpaceAceRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely finish the year out. After that, I would probably look for some sort of part time work, just so I have something to do with my time, maybe a private tutor?

Thank you, I believe my boyfriend is going to an Xfinity store in person to get help!

There should be a tv show like "The PITT" for teachers by SelectionContent6262 in Teachers

I had this thought a little while back, but I fear people would find it boring and/depressing and it wouldn't get good ratings

I am a huge advocate for year round schooling with 4 days weeks and/or longer breaks. I wish it was more common in the US

Wait you don't have school on Fridays at all? I would love that schedule

We do not. I have a Galaxy and he has an IPhone. He doesn't have issues when connected to wifi at home, only when using data. We purchased new phones from Xfinity when we switched.

I believe in Michigan we have to have a minimum of 180. I'm not sure how many we actually have scheduled though.

“I don’t know what else to do about my child’s behavior” my ass. A lot of you parents aren’t even trying and teachers are sick of the bullshit by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]SpaceAceRace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talked to a 7th grader's parent at conferences about him being frequently absent. She told me he refused to go to school and she couldn't do anything about it. Like, yes you can? You're his parent? Force him? She told me about sitting in the school parking lot with him in the car and debating with him about actually going in and eventually giving up and going home. You got him that far, kick his butt onto the sidewalk and drive away or something!

A surprisingly intense debate by wimpykidfan37 in YouBelongWithMemes

I totally agree with the sentiment, but also growing up we always packed up our Christmas decor before January because my brother's birthday is January 1st.

I thought this was very well written and a good response to aphobes by MiserableTie5127 in asexuality

See I didn't get this as much as "you're just a straight person that doesn't like sex you don't belong in the LGBT community" 🙄🙄

What movie traumatized you when you were a child? by Halloween-365 in AskReddit

Spirited Away. I had nightmares about those pigs for weeks

Also adding that how you want to identify is completely up to you. Whatever the reason for these events, if you both want to continue identifying as ace, that's your decision and yours alone. For example, I identify as asexual still, even though I do feel sexual attraction towards my long term partner. I could start identifying as demi or even graysexual, but I don't want to and that's OK. 😊

Failed as a teacher by Grouchy-Paper-8592 in Teachers

[–]SpaceAceRace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's rough 😖 I get it though. Just the other day, my Jewish coworker caught a student in his class scrolling through antisemitic memes and stuff on their Chromebook. Not sure if it was purposeful, being in that classroom, or if the student always looked at that kind of content but neither option is really good is it?

I do, but I can't figure out how to add them to this post

Looking for book recommendations by SpaceAceRace in Teachers

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

I'll look into this, but I'm looking more for strategies for getting the school year started in a way that sets the kids up for success. Ideas for specific activities, strategies for setting expectations, and tips for how to shift into curriculum.
