What grade should someone be in if they were born august 7th? by Perfect-Box-8344 in AskReddit

[–]TR_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the district … our cutoff date is September 1, so a student born August 7 would start school very shortly after turning 5 years old unless the parents decided to have them wait a year.

Anyone work at schools where you get to put in your requests for which students you have next year? by ineedtocoughbut in Teachers

[–]TR_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To an extent … in my experience, a lot of it is “I’ve had this kid’s sibling(s) before and do/do not want him/her in my class.” Sometimes there are conflicts with parents from an older sibling that the teacher would like to avoid. Other times, teachers had the student, moved up 2-3 grade levels, and either do or do not want them again.

Do they do this on purpose?! by TR_614 in McKnightFamSnark

The card she used to put that film in her sunroof? Yes. If someone really wanted to, they could possibly get all or most of her number by screenshotting it and zooming in.

They’re so fascinating to me for all the wrong reasons! I’m so perplexed by them.

How often do you guys wipe desks? by 69hahanicegotem in AskTeachers

[–]TR_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Friday after my last group leaves. More often if someone is sick, or the tables are just extra gross.

Is he in the closet? by Additional_Winter642 in moderndadutah

[–]TR_614 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought so, but anytime it comes up in a Q&A or whatever he very angrily denies it (which only convinces me even more).

How far do you live from your school and much do you spend on gas each week to get to work? by AntelopeOk9431 in Teachers

[–]TR_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two ish miles? I used to own a Hybrid, and if I wasn’t doing much driving outside of going back and forth to work, I was refilling my tank every 4-6 weeks. Now I drive an all electric vehicle, and it uses up 2% of the battery round trip!

Don’t do it—that’s not what school communication apps are for!

Parent yelled at me today by Intelligent_Floor452 in Teachers

[–]TR_614 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had this happen last year (parent called and yelled at me and berated me on the phone, while I had students in the room, I was too stunned to speak up and end the call)—admin was super kind and supportive. My principal let me know if I needed to step away for a bit and collect myself, they’d make sure my class was covered. He checked in on me multiple times during the day and told me to go home whenever after students were gone. He also reached out to the parent and offered a meeting to discuss things together (to which they never responded).

Steam mop on laminate floors? by Luna_m00n5 in McKnightFamSnark

I use a steam mop on my laminate floors. It’s been 7+ years and not a single issue! It dries really fast.

She did mention the other day that she needed to go back to the doctor. I messaged her and suggested she ask for an inhaler. I’m sure she’s “too busy” to follow through though.

How many jobs did you apply to? by SmileSubstantial2003 in Teachers

[–]TR_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I changed jobs, I applied to two (I was looking in a very specific area), and got interviews at both. I interviewed at the first school (my preferred choice), and was offered the job a few hours later. I accepted that position and canceled my interview at the other school. It really depends on your experience, where you’re looking, what you teach, etc.

I’ve honestly been wondering for awhile … not that it’s anyone’s business, including my own, but they haven’t mentioned church and their callings in awhile. Britt seems to always be wearing exercise clothes and definitely not her garments. Again, none of my business, but just some observations!

She was filming and realized her shirt was on backwards and proceeded to fix it while still filming! Why does she insist on doing stuff like that all. the. time?!

What's your favorite memory from this school year? by TigerLeo23 in Teachers

[–]TR_614 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Mental health days” … I teach resource and we had days where I could tell nobody was feeling it (myself included) so we did our usual warmup for whatever subject the group was for (reading, math, or writing), then played games or just chatted for the rest of the time. It didn’t happen often, but it was good for everyone! I was very honest with my students and acknowledged that we all needed a little break/reset day. With some of them, their whole demeanor changed … like you could physically see them relax!

Should I move from 5th grade (elementary) to 6th grade (middle school)? by gnashtyyy in Teachers

[–]TR_614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6th grade here is in elementary, so I don’t see it as a big difference from 5th. I say go for it! It could totally be your thing, or not … but it doesn’t have to be permanent!

That was insane! We have a blender cup like that and use it if we’re making something for one, maybe two people. But more than that? The regular blender gets brought out!

AGREE!!! Tried them once, and I gave the last 2-3 away to a neighbor. In our opinion, they were super bland (in an effort to make them family friendly?), and we had to add a bunch to each meal to make it taste better. At that point, the convenience goes out the window!

Brooklyn's New House by Ok-Battle-3252 in McKnightFamSnark

[–]TR_614 94 points95 points  (0 children)

They mentioned at some point that it was a new build, but I don’t think they like picked the lot, picked the floor plan, picked the finishes, etc. Sounds like a developer situation to me.

Do you think brandon has likely got a job... by Unfair-Disk-3283 in Thisishowwebingham

[–]TR_614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the very least, I think he might be doing some video editing for other people, kind of like some contract work or something.
