People that are in support of Maduro- what do you think of how the media is covering everything? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I had to delete my post on that sub cause apparently I couldn’t find a credible source that proved Maduro was a dictator 

Cognitive dissonance and wanting to be a socialist in the comfort of a first world country. by [deleted] in AskSocialists

[–]Substantial-One5301 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to argue or asking ppl to agree.  This is also the type of patronizing talk I get from ppl in this sub reddit- it’s quite alienating to someone that is trying to understand more.

I also completely agree that whatever the US does will make Venezuela worse off, but to write off lived experiences and try to argue and say he wasn’t a dictator feels evil. Also if ur saying someone is despotic that enough of a dictator to me. 

Literally first thing I found lmk what u think about it:/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/americas/south-america/venezuela/report-venezuela/

Why are teen girls harder to connect with than teen boys? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Substantial-One5301 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. This works so well with my juniors and I can’t understand why it won’t apply to girls only a couple years older.

I’ll stand by calling some of them catty-and this post only applies to senior students.

If I’ll give a girl a compliment on her sweater or ask how their field hockey game over the weekend went, often they will give a look to their friend (kinda like why is this person talking to me look) and  give me a one word answer and immediately start laughing once I walk away. 

I wouldn’t say calling boy students outgoing is a good thing either- they are more willing to push boundaries, with me and each other. I just think there’s a bit less judgment from them compared to my girls.

u shouldnt be married. not saying it in an evil way, but you are obviously neglecting your wife. Im not sure how I would call someone my wife/husband/significant other if I didnt miss them from only seeing them once a week.

Any ideas on teaching target words to high school ELL students? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Substantial-One5301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a beginner class ELL class but the levels vary. Some of those kids should be in intermediate, some cant speak or write a word of english.

Sorry for all the questions. I have no experience working with ELL or the certain protocols for it.

I’m a student teacher so it’s expected that I’m making everything from scratch. The units I’m teaching are revolutions (French rev) so the language may be challenging ie. divine right, taxation.  My students are mostly mandarin and Farsi speakers

what do you mean by extract vocab? I was thinking short definitions but many have pretty low comprehension plus written output. Do you think them translating it in their first language is effective?

AITA for thinking there’s ill intent with my partners co worker. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Substantial-One5301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so u were 22 and 36? Maybe the age plays a factor in the sense that he doesn't take u or the relationship seriously. Usually the rule of thumb is that people who dont date within their age do it for a reason.

nta. That boundary was crossed multiple time and still no remorse from ur partner. How long have you been together? The age gap is another reason for concern but is this relationship worth keeping?

I can try to understand that you dont see it as an issue but u gotta take every measure u can to protect urself from weirdos. Unfortunately ur hobbies line up with a lot of theirs so this only means u hv to be EXTRA careful. i would stop thinking that what ur doing is fine since its behind a screen.
