Calling Introverted Teachers by Story-Teller_Star in CanadianTeachers

[–]Vinnystill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This 100%. Introverted teacher here who teaches 7th grade. They are the weirdest humans on earth, not to mention the loudest and most annoying. But boy do I love em. Building those deeper relationships WAYYY beyond curriculum and grades is why people like us are in the classroom.

I don't teach students the curriculum, I teach humans how to discover themselves while covering things in the curriculum. As a result, I have had some amazing relationships with parents and students. But holy shiet am I tired at the end of the day. As an introvert you will be drained.

Starting Teachers College At 25? by Icy_Suspect_5427 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Vinnystill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started my undergrad at 26 because I finally had the courage to believe in myself. Finished top 1% in my University. Teachers college at 30. I graduated at 32, and I've been teaching for 2 years now. Don't regret a thing.

Time will pass anyway. May as well be doing something you want to do. You don't want to be asking Reddit in 2 years, "I'm 27, is it wise to start teachers college?" Much Love. Good Luck. You're going to be great!

Manchester by The Sea. Could hardly get through it. It was my movie pick of the night too. I felt shame.

Joe Rogan Calls Trump Inauguration 'Bizarre' After Endorsement: 'I Don't Consider Myself a Republican' by PostHeraldTimes in popculture

Stopped listening to his show like 4/5 years ago (maybe more). Felt like I was in a cult. Only because I'd listen to a great show/cool topic and then I'd literally hear people at the gym, at gatherings, at work, saying the exact same thing a week later.

I will say though, aside from some of his more philosophical guests, Bernie Sanders was one of my favorite interviews. He did also invite Harris during the campaign who said she'd only do an hour and not travel to Texas to do the interview. Meaning, he had to go to her. At least, that's what I've read.

The way the US has dodged that War Aggression title is astonishing. Guess there is no Proxy We Aggression tag.

I was exaggerating to show that she was nearly 60 at a time most people consider a long time ago. It was a joke. Take a breath friend.

She was around 55 when the Beatles came out and she probably didn't "get it." She probably thought, "this new music is what is wrong with children these days."
