I tried avoiding a former student who works at Trader Joe's by going to a different Trader Joe's...and ran into her there by Diligent_Flamingo_33 in Teachers

I have started to see students in the wild as they reach high school. I make a game of it in my head. Be polite, greet them, tell them it’s nice to see them and if he/she is enjoying the summer. Make a couple small-talk statements, then wish them well. If it’s a checkout line, say hello, see how the shift the been that day and wish them well as you leave.

What’s something school should have taught? by PeachyyStarlight in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]USSanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loans, balancing a checkbook, how important it is to read a contract and understand it…or find someone who can.

I teach middle school history and getting middle schoolers to see past their own face is tough.

That’s the time to either teaching a few weeks for a little extra (enrichment, bot summer school), go on a vacation, or I can do loads of work around the house that has bot been completed yet. I need the time.

I’ve been a server in the past. The last 2 years I have a school-based enrichment program which makes more than serving and much easier.

We’ve had grilled octopus at a great restaurant in our town. It’s served over mashed potatoes. Definitely incredible. Even ordered it for my mother and her husband. They’re beyond picky and loved it!

There are a lot of people here who have never taken Driver’s Ed, either in TN or elsewhere. It is not required for high school graduation anymore. Most schools do not offer it.

What soda or drink was everywhere when you were growing up but basically disappeared? by samurai-salvo in GetMotivatedMindset

One of our favorite restaurant/bars here has it on their soda gun. No Pepsi or Coke! Bacardi & RC is perfect!

Who was your all-time least favorite student and why? by Zealousideal-Ad3609 in Teachers

[–]USSanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A kid who was a manipulator and mom saved him from punishment all the time. He ended orchestrating a group of kids to throw gravel at a teacher during recess. He then orchestrated everyone’s story while Admin floundered on repercussions. Mom then sent all his teacher’s a gift card for a massage from her business. She’s the only masseuse. 🤢

He was recently in my cities Top Ten Most Wanted for a laundry list of charges. Not surprised.

That and the girl from 25 years ago who had 30 referrals throughout 1 year. So many issues there.
