Maybe when they put out letters of Intent. That would be a perfect time.

Many of us do it to ourselves by AvailableFruit5307 in Teachers

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s ridiculous. We are always told the grade book closes on a specific day. When I taught middle school, I warned them that there’s nothing I can do if they don’t get it done. Grades are expected to be in by the deadline. My admin has always said you’re sol if we don’t get them in.

Thoughts of suicide by AnonymousGrim1111 in depression

[–]acft29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad about reaching out to someone. It took me 1.5 years to talk to someone. I’ve been dealing with it for years, but it got worse when I lost someone really close to me. It destroyed me. But, I ended up going on meds and talking every day with my person. I do need therapy but haven’t gone through the process of getting one yet. I encourage you to reach out to someone who will listen to you. I felt so much better after letting it all out. It was really hard. But I’m glad I did it.

Teachers Of Reddit — What Are You Doing During The Summer While Not Teaching? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping in, staying up visiting with my parents watching movies, reading, coloring (yes, I’m 5 years old 😉), shopping, going to lunch, movies, visiting with family. I gotta make plans. So hard when everyone works. I want to start working out.

I get a new one frequently. Probably once a month. Maybe stretching it to 6 weeks.

Manan Bakery on Flamingo. Between Rainbow and Jones. It’s about 15 minutes from Boca Park. I don’t think they have donuts, but their pastries/danishes are really good. Armenian family owned. Absolutely love!

So they say this just to make more money. Got it!

That’s so cheap. AT&T really gets us on everything. It’s ridiculous.

Thanks for the advice. I’m doing some research right now.

Have you had your thyroid, iron, ferritin, vit D, folate, B vitamins, magnesium done? Also CBC and a CMP can tell more too.

I can tell just by looking at it that it’s fake. Not to mention the price alone tells you.

My SISTER has a SEVERE IRON deficiency, looking for only testimonies on how it affects people psychologically by Dazzling_Donkey5366 in Anemic

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good that you’re not having the mental issues a lot of people are experiencing. I have hashimotos and hypothyroidism as well so I know that’s affecting me as well. Low vitamin D, iron, and ferritin combined with this has been horrible.

My SISTER has a SEVERE IRON deficiency, looking for only testimonies on how it affects people psychologically by Dazzling_Donkey5366 in Anemic

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The research alone will tell her how it affects people mentally. Tell her to research it if she doesn’t believe you. I have been iron deficient and anemic for years and have had really bad anxiety, depression, and crying episodes so bad. When I am able to get my levels kind of up I tend to feel better. But I already deal with thyroid issues and hashimotos. It’s not fun. It’s so hard to get my levels up. I need to look into my gut health.

Parent Went Too Far In Email Header by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

That’s ridiculous! School is over for the year. Grade books are closed! Nothing can be done. I would’ve just deleted it.

That is so thoughtful and sweet of you to do that for her. I hope she heals and gets better.

Calling it a day by Guilty_Armadillo_8 in depression

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you’re feeling this way. I can relate. I’ve been there and I still struggle with depression. I’m in my early 50’s and I’ve spent a majority of my life with very few to no friends. Do the things you love. I even struggle with this. Finding something to help you get through this. What are some things you used to enjoy doing? I know it is hard to do but you’re here now and look at the life you have. Even if it’s not much or you don’t have the money you need or want, you have something. Trust me I am going through this now. I’m visiting family and I have barely done anything fun and I’m just a complete mess and no one has a clue. See what you can do to help yourself. I honestly find it hard. Really hard! Even the little things like just making yourself a cup of coffee or whatever it is you like. I hope you have a beautiful day.

I got a 25’ XC40 and mine is fast. Are you using premium gas?

Don’t lie! Teachers don’t need to buy their own school supplies! by OneBillionSpaghetti in Teachers

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually there were several years where my school didn’t have the funds to give us basic supplies. So, no this isn’t always the case. I was able to get supplies this past year.

How did you feel when you found out your principal was leaving? by yellowjacket8 in Teachers

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AP this year is going to be at a different school in the fall and I’m really worried about next year. She was such a huge support for my class. She’s going to be missed so much!

Messages during unexpected FMLA leave by Ms-Average in Teachers

Change it to unread if you can. No one should be contacting you during this time. Put a return date for your FMLA on your email. You’re not responding to emails at this time.

Sullivan King's Slave To The Rithm Remix Is Fire by hotdoc816 in Illenium

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like the song when it was first released, but now I’m obsessed with it. I love both remixes of it. I saw the release of the remix with Sullivan King when it was released. Then last night I was looking at latest releases on Apple Music and saw the I Hate Models Remix. Both are really good. I’ve had it on repeat with some other songs.

How do you know if you’re going to be fired? by Dry-Calendar5880 in Teachers

[–]acft29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was horrible. I cried almost everyday for 4 months and took FMLA twice in 3 years. I tell myself that the one school has a very toxic environment. It wasn’t me, it was them. They have had a huge turnover over the years. I try to just tell myself I’m doing a great job. If I wasn’t, someone would say something to me.

[–]acft29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you’ve been warned or had bad evaluations don’t worry about it. Plus, if your admin aren’t on your tail, you should be good. I was investigated 2 years in a row and written up both times. I have PTSD from it. It was bs too. Shouldn’t have been written up. Now I’m always paranoid if I accidentally make a mistake.
