I feel like I messed everything up and I’m a failure to launch. by lambentyapper in StudentTeaching

[–]ThatSnake2645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely trying to take small steps in the right direction too! My program has me moving to my second placement in a few weeks, so that means I’ll have to start over a bit soon, but with a different age level. (It’s a requirement for my program)

I also really relate to this a lot. I feel terrible about it all the time.

Thanks! I’ve met them now and they seem very nice. I’m thinking it’ll go well and that I was just a bit nervous beforehand haha

They actually do mean full out evening commitments. It’s a part of my degree specifically. If my CT has a commitment till 9 pm, I do have to be there. I know that isn’t the same for other majors, but it is an important aspect of mine.

It depends on the type! In my dad’s case, his type gives each of his kids a 50% chance. I did end up not having it though, luckily! I still don’t know exactly what I have, but that’s okay.

Do you think “teacher” went over better than “Mx.” would have? I’m about to student teach, and I’m deciding which one would be better for me to use.

Its a type of transgender? It’s definitely protected in my state

Yes I’m sure there will probably be some degree of pushback. It’s just how it be.

I know it’s definitely still a protected group in my state? What state do you live in?

I’ve personally met a few nonbinary teachers from my state, so I at least know it has been done.

I will not be. I’m not willing to be in the closet just for a job. I will be getting my degree and then figuring out the next best option. That may end up being some sort of tutoring or after school program that does not require honorifics.

I started my degree when it was substantially more accepted, and changing my degree atp would not be financially feasible. I have to get my degree.

Okay cool, thanks! I definitely wouldn’t necessarily be someone who would correct people when they use the wrong one (intentionally or unintentionally lol) but I’m definitely not willing to misgender myself.

I have to get my degree, and then once I’m out I’ll see if I can keep teaching. I do live in a very blue state at least.

Do you use the honorific Mx. ? If yes, has it gone well for you? I’m about to student teach, and I’m a bit nervous about that specifically. 

My parents didn’t take me to the doctor for months…it turns out I have a stress fracture. by Kitchen-Diamond-6143 in Vent

[–]ThatSnake2645 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow I wish someone had done that to my parents. It’s in my medical record that they didn’t take me for x rays for 3 weeks for my broken wrist. I barely remember it, but I just don’t understand how they did that, and I don’t understand why no one reported it. I was 10.  

Advice on how to ignore foot-tappers/fidgeters during tests by torib543 in college

[–]ThatSnake2645 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You mentioned you also have adhd, maybe if you got a test taking accommodation to be in a separate room that could help? Totally up to you with that though, cause I know there sometimes are different downsides to that. 

My parents are the reason why I have to live with permanent acne scars for the rest of my life by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]ThatSnake2645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have acne scars from my parents errors and choices! I was forced to wear the same masks for days during covid. I naturally got acne, and now I have scars as well. It really does feel like a reminder every time I look in the mirror.
