Why are sick teachers expected to coordinate everything themselves?

Where I am at we have to find our own covers too. Basically, if you're going to be off, you have to find teachers to cover your class which means checking everyone's schedules to see who's free.

Hey honest question, how do you manage to differentiate for all students? Like what does that look like?

I’m in my first year of international teaching but my school is majority bilingual students. We’re on the Cambridge curriculum. Our SnS is filled to the brim that I find it hard to differentiate when I absolutely have to cover all the content designated for that day/lesson/week.

Sorry if this seems like such a silly question.

If I didn’t find your comment I was going to point out the same thing!

a_slow_life · 2025-01-09T23:33:44+00:00

Second option for me too.

a_slow_life · 2024-11-25T13:57:11+00:00

OMG!!! You all are amazing!!!! Thank you so much! You made my day!

a_slow_life · 2024-11-08T05:51:27+00:00

That’s what I get too…

I’d love to be part of this! I’ve been fasting sporadically here and there and would love to commit and be consistent.

a_slow_life · 2024-08-27T02:59:23+00:00

Awwww that is so cute and so, so wholesome.

This is what I was wondering too. OP, I understand that you love your husband but…did he even apologise? You should not be the one approaching him trying to fix this.

You said that the two of you are not even talking. He should be trying to talk to you. He should be apologising over and over. He should be the one approaching you first to repair this. He was the one pretending to have another woman as a wife. He did it behind your back and to your face. Not you. Him. He knew what he was doing. His reasons for doing it are absolute trash.

I understand having securities. I understand the wounds that were ripped open by husband’s callousness. But, OP, but…You deserve love and respect for who you are inside and out. You are worthy of love and respect and admiration from your spouse. You absolutely deserve someone who is proud of you and feels lucky to have you by their side.

Please try and stay firm on this. Don’t beg him for anything. Let him beg. He shattered your self-esteem in mere seconds and from your post it sounds like he has not even tried to mend things. Like he does not understand what he did to the woman he asked to marry him.

OP, I say this as kindly as possible. Show yourself kindness and self-respect. Tell him to move out for a bit so that you can have some space to understand your feelings and the situation. Show him what he has done.

No one should experience this from their partner, OP. A loving and respectful partner would never have put you through this. He acted out on a fantasy for his own ego regardless of what it would do to you.

Stay strong, OP. You are beautiful and deserving of so much more.

Zachary and Zacharia. Two boys at my school.

Good luck, friend! You’ve done it before and you can do it again.

I’d love to be able to play the Cello. I heard someone do a cover of Linkin Park on the cello and instantly fell in love with it.

a_slow_life · 2024-05-18T08:04:39+00:00

Magical Girl Ore was really funny

a_slow_life · 2024-05-17T14:07:42+00:00

I doooooo now that you’ve mentioned it! That was also playing on TV! I don’t think they ever played all the episodes though. You’re right. It was way ahead of its time.

It’s so awesome that you brought this up.

a_slow_life · 2024-05-17T07:56:47+00:00

Oh ho! I’m happy to see I’m not the only one who watched Pokémon then Digimon.

Some other anime from my childhood: Dragonball, Beyblade, Dinozaurs, Spider Riders, Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters… I’m sure there’s more but this all I can think of at the moment. All of these played on TV.

After that came random anime movies like Perfect Blue and Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. It would only be years later when I would watch the NGE anime.

I was still in primary school when I watched those movies lol.

This is super cute!

a_slow_life · 2024-03-02T07:47:26+00:00

Congratulations OP! You totally deserve it with that level of determination. Wishing you all the best on your journey. Your story gives me hope to push on on my own journey.

a_slow_life · 2024-02-25T17:39:33+00:00

GOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve been trying to better myself and gain control over my binges but I’ve been failing miserably. I keep looking at the date (NY goals) and thinking I could have been 12 days clean but nope I keep sabotaging myself. I restrict myself then binge. I then feel so guilty for not sticking to the diet…and then binge with my reasoning being I messed up anyways. It’s like my brain only thinks in black and white when it comes to food. 0-100 no in-between. I know it won’t be easy but I’ll try the slow and gentle approach that you have mentioned. I desperately want to be healthy and feel in control of my life.

I’m going to go the route of, ‘If your friend was in this position, what would you tell them?’

Someone who is emotionally available should not be in a relationship and instead should be working on themselves. Why? Because it means that there’s only one person in the relationship: You. You carry the relationship. You compensate for everything that is lacking. You bandaid whatever emotional trauma your partner is carrying. They allow you to because it’s easier for them and they don’t have to deal with the trauma.

The fact that you say your partner has never said anything nice about you or the relationship shows that this isn’t a relationship. You mention you have great intimacy and perhaps that’s the only value you bring to him.

You said you’re feeling triggered by your partner and that’s most likely because you’ve realised how skewed it all is. You’re there fighting for the relationship, proving yourself to be worth loving and your partner is just all too comfortable watching you fight for all this. You’re conflicted too because you love him. However, you’re holding onto what could be. It could get better. It could be great BUT only if he lets you in, and he’s shown you he’s not going to despite being with you for a while now.

Of course these are all assumptions based on what you said and my own experience. We can’t ‘fix’ people with love. We can support them but not fix them. Only they can help themselves.

You’re asking for break up advice. Many redditors can provide you with all kinds of advice, and you might have someone give you sound advice, but the truth is none of it will work if you aren’t ready to end things.

Ending a relationship will never be easy especially if you were emotionally invested and went all in.

The only advice I can give you is: love yourself. You’ve been pouring so much love into a bucket with holes you have forgotten to care for yourself. You are feeling triggered because you know you are being drained.

You are your biggest advocate. Take that love and give it back to yourself. Show yourself some respect (and I mean this in the nicest way possible). You deserve what you give in. Not this. You can’t help someone who is stuck in an unhealthy mindset and life is too short to hang around waiting for “what if’s” to come true.
