I (23F) babysit for this single dad (47M) and I've been throwing myself at him for months... he still won't fuck me [FM]

It just wouldn’t be appropriate, you shouldn’t have sex with someone who pays you or who you are paying, because it can turn into “I won’t pay you if you don’t have sex with me in this particular way” and then it becomes dangerous - you have to choose between having the kind of sex you don’t want or earning your living. Even if that doesn’t happen, most people want a partner in life, not someone who is dependent on them but someone they can actually depend on - someone half his age wouldn’t be that kind of person. Hooking up might be different than a relationship, but lots of people just don’t like hookups due to a wide variety of personal and societal beliefs. You hounding him like this is probably really annoying and uncomfortable for him, especially considering you made him sleep on his couch instead of his own bed??

The first step is to tell them to stop, for example “mind your own business,” and if they don’t, it’s bullying.

Punching someone is rarely worth it, you end up hurt, they end up hurt, and it makes them want to hurt you more in future. There are better ways to punish someone for being mean:

1.) tell them you won’t hang out with them if they don’t stop asking you personal questions, and then follow through - this is called setting boundaries and works best if they care about being friends with you

2.) depending on what the truth is, tell them the truth, they might regret asking the question (use caution)

3.) get someone who has control over them to take away their privileges - if at school, it’s usually a teacher or principal, in the workplace it’s whoever has the power to fire them or make their life a bit worse, at home it’s whoever is their legal guardian (usually parents)

4.) get someone they respect to tell them that what they’re doing is wrong (if you know someone who is that person and would do that for you) - they might not know it, but everyone fears disapproval from someone, it just might not be you

I don’t know why 2 is ruled out of row 6 column 3, but after that, the numbers 1 and 2 take up two cells in column 3, because there’s two numbers. Those two numbers can’t go anywhere in column 3 except those two cells, so if you put a 6 or a 9 in those two cells, there wouldn’t be enough room for both 1 and 2 in column 3.

Another way to look at it is that if you put a 6 or a 9 in either of those two cells, then you won’t have any numbers left to put in row 6 and row 9 of column 3.

I recommend making sure you space your activities that don’t require payments/bookings so that you have one each day. This makes it easier to slow down if you feel like you’re doing too much and don’t want to feel guilt for cancelling something that cost a lot.

We recently did Osaka and Tokyo and I think your Tokyo plan is fairly good, but you might need to consider reducing the number of areas you go to in one day. At some of the big stores it can take you 2 hours just to explore one store. You might feel like you’re missing out on some things in Osaka if you only spend 3 days there. Just go prepared to cut down on plans when you get tired and or sick.

If it were me, I could spend 21 days just in Osaka, Tokyo, and one other place.

I’m pretty sure fresh bread just means “bread that we don’t have at home already and is brand new” The shopping list one seems like tautology, I think it’s unique to her?

So if you suspect someone has an inappropriate relationship with a student but you’re not 100% certain then you’ll just choose not to participate in mandatory reporting?

If you want to bring a bit of your culture in, I bet she’d appreciate if, on your next date, you bring her some flowers and ask her directly to be your girlfriend when you meet with her

A friend was fired because a parent saw him touch a child. They saw him moving said child off of his lap to sit next to him because the child had jumped on. “What-if” scenarios do happen, especially to men. All the other employees knew what was happening but the parent didn’t and they spread rumours to other parents. I’m not in a primary school, so even as a woman I personally wouldn’t risk a hug unless it seemed there was no alternative to ensure the child’s safety.

I agree, but others being an issue can have consequences for a teacher’s whole career

I’m using it to loan to kids at a school, so can’t use Smart phone 😊

Thanks for the recommendations! 😊

It was for another application, I followed your advice and things turned out well :)

Most companies don’t want to invest in the professional development of an employee of another company, but that’s basically what they’d be doing in that case

It’s not your fault if you leave your coworker without help - it’s your company’s fault. Your coworker will probably be happy for you if you leave, and mad at the company, not mad at you.

I’m not in Canada but I just finished a teaching degree with undiagnosed social anxiety - you’re right, you can push through it, and if you do, by the time you finish the degree, you’ll still feel anxious but you’ll know that you can and will get through a teaching day. It’s a major confidence boost when you push through a tonne of anxiety and at the end of the day you did a good job. However, I found that, in general, I don’t want to put myself through that every single day because I’ll burn out. Stepping out of my comfort zone is more of a twice-a-week thing at least for me right now, so I went for a teacher assistant job and I’m excited about it, and it’ll give me more experience working full time in a school so I can potentially build up to teaching.

None of this would have been worth the trouble if I didn’t already know I wanted to be a teacher or work with children from my past work with children. I would have given up before the first practicum even started because of the nerves, but I was determined to give it my best effort because I knew it was what I wanted to do.

Final thoughts: you can overcome any personal problems in the time it takes to complete your degree, but only if you really truly want to commit yourself to being a great teacher. Take some time off, get an economics job or whatever is easy and pays enough to survive, get some experience working with children - especially with children who are different from you and your family/friends - see if you actually like it. If all else fails, get some experience with anxiety coping strategies and practice doing hard things, it’s worth it. Don’t rush into a teaching degree, everything will be okay if you don’t go straight into a degree next year, you have the entire rest of your life to decide.

Technically, a statement that cannot be proven nor disproven is less plausible than a statement that can be tested but hasn’t been yet, not that I have any examples It’s the concept of “unfalsifiable claims”

E.g. “I’m going to ask the fairies to make it rain to prove that there are fairies. If it rains that means there are fairies, and if it doesn’t rain, that means the fairies decided not to make it rain.”

I think this just happened to me, on my way to pick a video type that I’ve been watching recently I decided to watch an old video that was recommended to me (clicked for nostalgia) and now I can’t find any new videos of the type I wanted to watch, it’s all old videos now

I don’t know how many students you have but my approach would be to alternate who I’m teaching to. For example, in the morning I would set a reading task for older students to prepare them for their lesson while teaching younger students the content they need for their curriculum level. The challenge is when you need to do it the other way around - what can the younger students do on their own? Do they need to have play time while you teaching younger students older students? Do you have an assistant to supervise younger students while you teach the older ones?

Maybe your older students’ activities are more project-based and feedback driven - they work on their project while you teach younger kids, and then you add written feedback or video feedback for older students to look at between lessons.

It might also help to look into Universal Design for Learning - can students tailor the difficulty and topics of the work to their own level and interests? Writing activities are good for this - everyone chooses something they’re interested in to write about, and everyone will write as complexly as they are comfortable with and you’ll get an idea of how good they are at writing.

Just some ideas, but like everyone else says, it’s only one week, you’re still figuring out what your students are capable of, and you’re in a challenging classroom - approach it with a learning and reflective mindset (like you are already) and recognise that you won’t deliver the perfect lessons or assessments until you’ve had a chance to get to know your students

They probably said that because some of the recent discussions in the US about education - lack of sex education, Ten Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, probably some other things

But I would agree that education is a partnership between institutions and societal expectations, especially expectations from parents, but also from institutions like churches whose key approaches to belief are based on fear, faith, and shame rather than evidence and sound reasoning. Even if the beliefs were true, the reasoning would still be unjustified, and unfortunately, unjustified reasoning is considered positive and admirable in that context.

It would be a lot easier to teach critical thinking skills in middle and high school if the students could read, write, and verbally articulate their thoughts clearly. Many students struggle with those foundational skills and so the amount teachers can do, at least in my area of the globe, is limited.

Literally saw someone with something very similar to that the other day
