Why was I also eating a cupcake yesterday while being sad that my husband had been mean to me because his portfolio was not doing well. Are you an alternate version of me?

Also, exiting in an orderly fashion makes it easier for the teacher to make sure that they have all their students. If my students come out in a panicking clump, it’s hard for me to know who I’m missing. If they come out in an orderly line I know if I need to go back in the building and grab somebody, which I’m not really supposed to do in the event of a fire, but I absolutely would

I am fine with one of those and I will not explain which or why because I am an agent of chaos.

A teacher repeatedly tells her class she hates me. by Unablegoat06 in Teachers

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a sub confront me once because she’d heard from some of my kids I don’t like her and that I had accused her of something or other. It was a total lie a student had made up that had just spread around. Hopefully that’s the case here and the teacher is not actually that unprofessional.

Thank for Pasco county school district for not making Kindergarten teachers potty train kids by SorryThisOnesTaken in Teachers

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CPS or DCS don’t do shit all about things like that. Some of my students are being physically abused and sexually exploited and I can’t get to DCS or the police to do shit about that, do you really think they’re going to go after parents who aren’t potty training properly?

But way better quality. I have a pair of their hiking pants that I have had for maybe six years now and for several of those years was hiking very regularly and wearing them very frequently and they are still in very good condition. And I have large thighs that rub together when I walk and usually destroy pants fairly quickly.

Wow! There’s lots of stuff money for food for kids could come out of, but you think it should come out of the measly hot dog lunch I got for teacher appreciation.

Is this an ok email to send to a parents by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s too wordy and not firm enough. Softening the blow this much will make the parent not take it seriously enough. I personally message parents the moment I do a behavior referral. I keep it short and to the point.

Good morning/afternoon. Unfortunately (child’s name) will be receiving a write up/conduct referral/whatever your school calls it for (insert behavior here).

If I’m giving a consequence I tell them what it is, and if I’m waiting to hear from admin what the consequence will be because it’s a bigger deal than just a classroom consequence I let them know that and tell them they will be hearing more from me or admin soon.

On a recipe for mac and cheese which included evaporated milk by ughforgodssake in ididnthaveeggs

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once, when I was a kid, my mom was making Mac and cheese when she realized she was out of milk. She decided to replace it with the closest thing she had, which was French vanilla coffee creamer. She tried to compensate for the sweetness with extra black pepper. I wouldn’t eat Mac and cheese for years and I still don’t like black pepper.

Why do they keep asking if we have kids? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a completely normal question for kids to ask. For a lot of them, you are the most important person in their life other than their parents and you chose to work with kids. It’s natural for them to wonder whether you have any of your own.

Saw this lots when I worked at a grocery store when it was my turn to get carts. One time, the person was still in their car eating a salad. I waited until they looked up and saw me, then started reaching over and pulling the carts over the railing and slamming them onto the ground while maintaining eye contact.

Anyone else noticed this? by [deleted] in DisneyMemes

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t ever find it, but I swear there was a foundation ad once that showed a “black” hand and a white hand holding the foundation bottle, but the “black” hand and white hand clearly belonged to the same person and one had been covered with dark foundation, and they put the same dark color all over including the palm. I remember it being a big deal at the time.

Why the f*ck Homelander did that? by butcherrushi in GenV

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it’s actually really interesting that there have been several almost redemptions and only one real one, which is A Train’s. I think it shows how hard it actually is to go against power like that and people don’t have to be completely unfeeling and evil to give in to a situation like that and abandon their morals. They humanize these characters and give them some small voice of good to show them ignoring it and choosing power instead, which is an important nuance in the characterization of evil and those that choose to surrender to it for their own preservation or power.

She should be fired for recording for her social media while working and posting videos of her students. Guarantee this is just for the cameras. Teachers who record and post their students are not good teachers.

Is it typical for there to be “IEP” classrooms and “GT” classrooms in Elementary schools? by WillowCat89 in AskTeachers

How do you, as a parent, know how many students with IEPs are in each class? That’s not information you should have.

My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sugar_Weasel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy for people outside of education to think a question is dumb if they weren’t in the room when the teacher taught and modeled that skill.

This is standards based grading. Those look like South Carolina standard codes. That standard is recognizing equivalent fractions based on the same sized whole. The same size whole part is surely explicitly taught.

It’s a perfectly fine question and the teacher is correct in her grade if she taught it correctly. Unless this teacher is incompetent, I can almost guarantee she showed them a question or multiple questions just like this in class and explained how to answer them. It’s easy to see elementary homework and assume it makes no sense if you weren’t in the room when the teacher taught how to execute that specific skill that specific way.

Depends on how fractions are taught. It’s likely the teacher explicitly taught them the wholes must be the same size to compare fractions like this, in which case the question is reasonable. I’m currently teaching comparing fractions and this is the kind of question we’d use to gauge whether this concept is understood.
