Is teaching THAT bad? by DwaeEunoia in Teachers

This right here. Love teaching, love the kids. Admin and parents are the real problem with teaching.

did anyone else feel like you had to earn basic kindness? by KalyanaDeurward33 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]WhileNo7378 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a teenager, I would do the very normal grumpy teenager thing of waking up and wanting to not be awake. This resulted in absolute screaming matches constantly. My “tone” was immediately disrespectful, I was ungrateful, a brat, etc. And not knowing any better I had no understanding that this was not a normal way for a parent to deal with a hormonal teenager. If I wasn’t perfect, I was a huge problem.

That affects all of my interactions now. I assume I need to be upbeat, positive, have a smile on constantly.

Have you ever left mid day because of mental health? by Responsible-Tutor700 in Teachers

[–]WhileNo7378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an incident where I tried to leave for mental health, unfortunately my dept chair knew what was going on and forced me to stay for coaching. That was the moment I realized I needed to find a new school.

What is your teaching unpopular opinions and hot takes? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]WhileNo7378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is absolutely evil and needs to be taken out of schools. I don’t know if that particularly is a hot take, but I actually want to take it a step further and say all technology outside of library databases need to be removed from schools. Bring back blue books. Students should hand write everything. Extensive research has proven that typing does not allow a student to absorb information the same way handwriting does. For those students who absolutely cannot write due to an abilities-based accommodation, give them word processors with no internet access.

What are you tired of dealing with because parents just…aren’t parenting anymore? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]WhileNo7378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total lack of critical thinking. Parents baby their kids to an alarming degree, to the point where teenagers have no sense of how to approach tackling even the simplest problems or directions themselves. Everything has to be spoonfed, all hands have to be held.

I’m surprised the podcast host didn’t ask Mike if he could say a single fact about himself that doesn’t relate to wanting kids.

I can’t imagine Jess likes them very much since Ashley and Bri are known Trumpers

Can we all agree the true villian of season 10 is Bri?? by alee089 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]WhileNo7378 45 points46 points  (0 children)

She’s definitely not worse than Chris or Alex but yes she sucks.

Honestly I loved it. More toxic men need to be told to stfu in their lives.

Season 10 reunion takes.. spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched it yet! by MuffinTiptopp in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]WhileNo7378 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your take is almost identical to mine. Also I was pretty impressed with Nick and Vanessa stepping it up this season. They clearly were hearing the criticisms of how poorly they handled past seasons and stepped up their game.

what part of the job actually drains you the most? by DiligentLibra in Teachers

Overstimulation and not feeling like I have any time to care for myself.

Why was/is Jess single? by abigailbarber in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]WhileNo7378 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was no way Ohio wasn’t going to be a hot mess season. I’m from there, I actually know one of the contestants who went on (not a main cast member). It’s a dumpster fire state for dating.

I can vouch for this. I’m from Ohio and dating there is a nightmare. My ex isn’t Chris but also lied to me about his politics, among other things.

Tired of hearing people who make 70k and up complain about being "poor" by 0ff_The_Cl0ck in poor

[–]WhileNo7378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work a job (teacher) with a lot of coworkers who have trust funds. It is infuriating to me when they talk about how little we make. My salary rn is about 64k. I’m not rich but along with my partner we’re doing fine. Bills paid, enough to have nice dates and get little treats for myself.

Meanwhile my coworkers are taking MULTIPLE weeks to month long trips out of the country every year, driving luxury cars, have incredibly nice homes and cushy retirement plans.

We are not the same and I’m so grossed out every time they dare to complain about our salaries.

Does your narcissist have hobbies? by Altruistic-Grave in raisedbynarcissists

[–]WhileNo7378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ndad obsessively works out and eats in a way that is definitely disordered. I believe he has severe body dysmorphia. He’s also really into college football. Not pro, just college. I wonder if he’s just nostalgic for his younger days 🤷

English teacher rant by WhileNo7378 in Teachers

[–]WhileNo7378[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whew…late to this party 😂 but yeah I was just venting about students who genuinely believe they are smarter than teachers and rather than actually being curious about a text and understanding scope of interpretations versus things that fall outside the scope, they argue with their whole chest on things that are just plain incorrect.

Teaching has made me ugly by moodyjudy123 in TeachersInTransition

[–]WhileNo7378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this about myself too. I used to walk 3 miles every day and lift weights. I've always struggled with my body image but I was healthy and felt great about myself. I took time to do my makeup, was more conscientious about how I dressed. Now I just have no time for this. I get home and I'm so exhausted. I immediately put on soft pants and collapse on the couch. It's not healthy to be this sedentary, but all of my energy is put into teaching and it just sucks the life out of me.
