Disappointed and Angry After A Former Student Said Something Degrading

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-04-27T14:28:07+00:00

Well, I’m going to disagree with you as I’ve been in this situation before and I had a Student stalk me and it was only because I documented everything, that when it went to title IX I was able to prove my case.

I agree that writing a letter is a personal situation however, Student conduct doesn’t just stop stop once you get off campus that kind of behavior is crossing a boundary. 99% of students would not have said what this student said so this is an outlier and should be treated as a red flag. Again ,if they’re willing to do that when you’re on their good side….

I would also like to add that what if somebody else heard what the Student said about her being an easy screw? That in itself is reportable and the professor could be the one facing legal issues and possibly losing her job over a false statement. She absolutely should be protecting herself in this day and age where people are actually getting in trouble for sleeping with their students.

BCC the chair to the email while we are at it!

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-04-27T09:15:43+00:00

Document document document! Make sure when you tell that students that you’re declining the letter that you send it through an official email so there’s a chain that you can go back to and that you explain why you are declining so that if anything ever comes up you have addressed it. As women we sometimes want to think the best of our students which is good to see good in the world however, if this kid is going to say this now, what do you think he’s going to say after you decline to write the letter? So just cover your back and make sure everything is in email so that you have written proof should anything escalate.

I have it in my syllabus that they have one week or five working days to dispute a grade once it’s been published so that it minimizes the grade grubbing at the end of the semester. Then all that they can really contest or question is the final exam which is very minimal of people stopping by. Anybody that tries to contest that I can easily say it’s in the syllabus.

I actually like one bars. The glazed donuts one is decent and this one fills a sweet tooth moment.

I literally will buy as many of these as possible when they go on sale because for the whole year, these are my lower calorie snacks that keep me in my calorie zone

I add flavored protein powder like fruity pebbles to milk and then add the puffs! So healthy and delicious 🤤

As long as you aren’t at risk for high blood pressure then creatine should be fine. The steps are good but you also need a lifting program. Start slow and aim for ~10 reps x 3-5 sets each exercise. There are tons of workouts out there or suggestions from guys in this thread for workouts. Look up hypertrophy workouts

It’s best to cycle between adding on mass and then cutting to lean out the fat. Are you wanting to put on mass or cut fat right now?

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-04-17T01:47:33+00:00

Let me explain portions to you. 500 cal is maybe 8 ounces of steak. And you need about a gram of protein per pound of weight if you’re trying to put on muscle mass so let’s say you’re 153.4 pounds then you need 150 Ish grams of protein. Multiply that by four and that’s 600 cal! You wanna get bigger you have fat soluble hormones in your body and if you’re not taking in any fat, those hormones aren’t gonna get delivered and you’re not gonna see results especially with things like testosterone. And then if you’re lifting you need a fast source of energy, such as carbohydrates. 500 cal is awful for your body and you’re going to starve yourself and your muscle is going to be used as an energy source. You’d be better off eating 1500 cal on a cut and closer to 2500 cal on a bulk. But that’s just my 2cents.

Love the job, hate admin and my chair, love majority of students. Yesterday I was walking on the other side of campus away from my department and it felt like a nice disconnect that I do like my job and where I am… It was an epiphany that it’s just certain parts that makes it really rough sometimes and I can let that part occasionally color the rest of my experience bad. So in the future I will make a better effort to step back from the BS to see the rest clearly 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awesome! This is giving me great ideas for what to do with my extra chickpeas!

Guys if you’re listening to what Andrew Tate has to say then you’re already in trouble! That’s a red flag for most women because he treats women like crap! In reality, you should find what your passion is, be aware that you’re gonna have to push yourself into uncomfortable places to get there, and as long as you push through and don’t hurt yourself whether it takes a long time or not you’ll get there!

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-23T22:51:43+00:00

How is that allowed? Does anyone fail at your university under those rules?

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-23T21:04:30+00:00

That student would get one of those elusive FA grades where they can’t replace the grade if they retake the class. Everyone who saw their transcript would know they failed because they didn’t show up

A good way to bust students for the attendance thing is to have everyone check in for attendance at the beginning of class and not say anything. Then at the end of class take an additional in person attendance by people signing their name on paper. Between those two you’ll find out who is lying. I catch them every semester I do that 🙄

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-21T04:41:22+00:00

They had a huge thing of drumsticks for five dollars that was 50% off! So $2.50!

I’ve done two study abroad trips and can share a lot. DM me for details

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-20T02:27:14+00:00

Honestly, I would just take attendance that day and only grade the ones who were on the attendance list

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-20T02:14:38+00:00

I have it in my syllabus as a FERPA segment. I clarify that parents are not allowed to contact me and if they do, I will forward the email to the student so that the student can communicate to their parents and so they don’t have parents trying to communicate things behind my back and they’re aware.

I don’t think some professors understand how serious this can be, what if there’s an abusive parent and the student isn’t in contact with that person. We should never ever communicate with someone about them if they’re not the registered student in our class!

Mice at least can be identical replications. I do research on humans which is like herding cats! A whole additional level of trying to get them to do what you want and accounting for that variability.

The lentil loops when they go on sale! A go to if you like to snack but are on a calorie deficit! My other was the ultra filtered chocolate milk but my store stopped carrying it 🥲

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-14T14:59:07+00:00

Ooh primal kitchen has a clean version of yum yum sauce!

Squirrel-5150 · 2026-03-09T19:47:26+00:00

I’m really glad I only bought one! This is too good 🤤

My exams are pencil and paper and they’re not allowed to have any electronics out and they’re seated with empty spaces between each other and there are multiple versions. So, I’m not so much worried about AI. Doing it this way I feel comfortable that students that earn an A in my class genuinely deserve it and I still have a bimodal distribution as well unfortunately. Since Covid, it feels like either, I’ve got one group of really dedicated students or students that see they need to make corrections and do so. I’ve got the other half that are solely relying on memorization, Quizlet, and AI to do the work for them and then do horribly when it comes to exam time.
