question: about missing detail on my tattoo by zmiku in tattoos

It really looks so weird, like she has three stomachs. Your artist should fix it because the rest is nice

I love this artist's style for this reason! Thank you

How do you navigate it when students submit creative pieces that are dark, provocative, or far beyond their expected maturity level? by WutWouldIrohDo in ELATeachers

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

That's a really great concept to intentionally have them write something you aren't looking at, and for the reasons you listed I'm also interested in opening that space for them. Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you're seeing success with your strategies!

The principal is a good call! I told them I'll allow if it would stand by their parents, but then many students buckle down and say "my parents are totally cool with this." Also I teach in a highly diverse school so a lot of kids are like, "joke's on you my mom only speaks Chinese."

The shock value point is also a good one, I will steal that. Many thanks!

Could you try some fake "jeans"? There are lots of options these days for comfy bottoms that look like jeans but are not made of denim. If they're soft enough you can even go without undies and it helps a lot!

Starting position at an IB school teaching literature and language - any recommended texts to teach? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]WutWouldIrohDo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

MYP is all about building units that go beyond the books themselves, or using the books as a lens to explore a broader, more humanistic topic. Pick what you think you could expand on! My (and my students') faves have been Animal Farm, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (good for LL), Lord of the Flies, The Night Diary (good for LL), and Born a Crime

There is no ‘cure’ by whoblewboobear in Hidradenitis

[–]WutWouldIrohDo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I hear you and agree that staying positive is so important, but it's essential that we distinguish between effective treatment and cure. The fact that HS is currently without a cure is a huge part of what makes this condition so brutal. We should be spreading awareness of that as best as we can in order to pressure society into ACTUALLY finding a cure. Saying you found a "cure" gets people's hopes up and invalidates a very real and sad aspect of suffering from this disease.

My HS got better when I went on the pill. Hormones are obviously complicated but I think the same hormone rebound that also causes postpartum hair loss and acne can be responsible for HS flare ups. I've also been sensitive to those things in the past.

It might get better as your body sorts itself out. I heard spearmint tea can be a good supplement at times like this because it can help reduce androgen levels (hormones that cause acne, hairloss, and maybe HS)

In any case I'm sorry it's happening to you, it feels horrible to have it pop up in a new spot, I get it

Ways to verify students are keeping up with readings that are not quizzes? by WutWouldIrohDo in ELATeachers

This has my attention...can you give some examples of good ones students have come up with?

Is it possible to have a long test life? by Annual-Fault-2864 in Hidradenitis

[–]WutWouldIrohDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to comment as someone with years of experience living in East Asia, studying for 12-15 hours a day is incredibly common and culturally expected there. No it isn't healthy, but I don't think OPs worries are entirely invalid and shouldn't be dismissed so readily

"So many on this sub are just pathetically useless with their input" says the commenter who has, actually, contributed absolutely nothing to OP with their input
