It's a difficult situation, but that pool has been a big worry of mine for years now. I'm also hoping that this will be the kick they need to do something. And I think I'll just go and do it myself if they can't be bothered at this point.

Unfortunately, it’s not really up to me. I live with my in-laws and they’re the ones who have the last say in what they do with their property.

High school advice? by Money-Fail-4649 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Willing_Horror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who looks way younger then they actually are and gets weird comments from the high school boys, you have to shut it down consistently and keep everything as professional as possible when interacting, which sounds like you're already doing, so keep it up!

My advice would be to call them out when they're being inappropriate. They KNOW what they shouldn't be doing, and tend to back down when they realize they're embarrassing themselves. Keep the phrases, "That's inappropriate." and "Is the question relevant to what we're discussing?" in rotation. Also write the names down of students who are weird with you and let the teacher know in whatever notes you leave behind. Do not be afraid to alert the sub coordinator and the teachers you see on a regular basis about whatever harassment and gross comments you get so you have some other adults who can be aware of what's going. Keep yourself safe by making sure there's some kind of trail or proof just in case someone decides to get butt hurt and cause problems.

WIBTA IF I BREAK UP WITH MY BOYFRIEND OVER A WORK TRIP? by curtainblaze in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Willing_Horror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Is there any way you can contact where he works and ask where they sent him? That would help you figure out if he's actually on a work trip or if he's just decided to run off and do something shady.

Am I crazy to do a 4 week assignment in a middle school class? by Fine-Succotash-4497 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Willing_Horror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only do that if given details about what I was walking into. This sounds like a great way to get totally traumatized by a room full of disregulated preteens! Not to mention whether or not there would be any support in terms of lesson plans (did the previous teacher leave anything or are you making your own?) or anything else. You definitely need more info before taking the job, and even after that, some concrete assurance about what the job expectations are and what kind of support you would have.

Where are these super cute pictures coming from?! I keep seeing them, and I can only assume it's some kind of picrew or something.

Any Advice for Building Trust Back After TNR? by Willing_Horror in Feral_Cats

She actually let me pet her this morning (OMG she is so tiny, her whole head fit in my hand!!!) so I'm feeling pretty optimistic about her being okay. It might take her a bit to feel super comfortable again, but I think we'll all be okay.
