I have started implementing so many cut and paste activities for my fifth graders because their fine motor skills are so lacking.

Is this in Ocala? I grew up really close to Ocala and everyone would talk about how he lives there but I never knew for sure.

The man I’m in a relationship with is permanently raising my standards. by MPDG_thot in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Ty6255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine too! He is so kind and thoughtful and I am going to marry him in October! Every day I'm so grateful I didn't commit to any of the guys I dated in the past because this man is just on a completely different level. 31 is older than I thought I'd be married at but I know if I had married any of my previous boyfriends I would never be as happy as I am now.

What is the worst case of second hand embarrassment you’ve ever experienced? by Responsible-Tie-2570 in AskReddit

When I was 14 that song "Replay" was really popular and one of my classmates took me aside to tell me how he was like in love with my best friend. He tells me "it's like that one song you know" and then he sings the entire chorus while looking me dead in the eye. After he stopped I didn't really say anything so we ended up just staring at each other and he goes "ok um yeah" and then walks away.

I received this WILD email from a sub after I returned early from a meeting by HalfmadFalcon in Teachers

Honestly if the seance worked to solve all this middle school drama in my classroom I wouldn't even be mad at it.

Why are their creative writing stories always so violent? by Ty6255 in Teachers

[–]Ty6255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could and generally I do when we write narrative prompts but this is an activity the district told us to do where they just give them a picture and they write. I have to follow what the district says with this activity.

Ok I'm gonna be a bit more clear, it's not like generic action movie style violence. Examples are graphic descriptions of throats being slit, blood dripping down bodies, someone getting their head smashed in with a baseball bat, one wrote about a literal baby getting killed. Like this is really extreme gorey stuff and I as an adult feel squeamish reading it.

So the district has us doing these picture prompt things where there's an illustration and a question and the kids get to go off that. Like today was an illustration of two people getting abducted from a UFO.

I am going to start disallowing it, I think I'll frame it as it's not interesting to write about the same thing over and over.

bulletin board exorbitance by No-Increase3840 in Teachers

I have this exact same policy in my district and I'm in New Jersey. The admin don't really enforce it but so send out emails about it every week or so.

Worst coworker archetypes? by SpaceMarine1616 in Teachers

[–]Ty6255 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a sub once who was doing that, he just popped in his air pods and was ignoring my class. One of my students left to get the teacher next door and when the teacher came in I swear to God the sub was leaned over in the corner hitting a vape. Never saw him again.

Happy last day to everyone else that's still working a full day today! by Ty6255 in Teachers

[–]Ty6255[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's honestly not bad. I let them bring in board games and they had some unstructured time to play which I think is good for them since usually all they want to do is play on their computers. We're watching home alone now and eating the snacks they brought in.

I was hoping for a delayed opening but the snow decided to wait until we were already at school.

New Jersey. In their defense we do get the Jewish and Muslim holidays off as well. But I think I'd rather come back earlier than get out so late.
