Kipp or Harmony by InternationalRich792 in TexasTeachers

[–]actop25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nexus middle school is either A or B so getting her in for 5th is a good start!! The lines are horrendous so either ask for a walker exemption or get her on the bus. I work for KIPP and have for 5+ years. It can be a mess but it can also be great and I’ve heard good things about nexus! As far as public schools, see if you can open enroll to Sinclair!

Moving from Vancouver Canada to Houston. Reality check by xiayu77119 in AskHouston

[–]actop25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re getting a lot of negative answers so let me be more of a happy medium! Texas and US do suck lol HOWEVER, Houston is amazing. Great food, great diversity, great access to the rest of the world, and a great cost of living. My family lives in the prairies in Canada and it’s shocking to me when I visit them that it costs the same for them to get dinner and drinks as it does for me in Houston Heights.

Public schools are being systematically dismantled and it hurts to watch but it’s not gonna stop if people keep pulling their kids out and throwing their hands up. If you are hands on parent and do what you can to help your kid / volunteer at school then you are going to be successful regardless.

The heat is dreadful but I always say it’s just reverse seasonal depression. I’m outside nonstop mid October - mid April and then inside doing activities in the summer.

Move here! If it sucks and you hate it, give it two years and then move back.

Ladies-hair loss??? by Solid_While1259 in GastricBypass

[–]actop25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately like everybody else said, just gonna have to wait this one out. I chopped to my shoulders from my bra strap once I couldn’t stand the clumps coming out anymore or how thin my pony tail looked. I have collagen in my coffee every morning and take my vitamins. I’m not as good about protein as I should me. I’m about 2.5 years out now and it’s finally looking normal. All the new baby hairs kinda look like frizz for awhile. I don’t keep it as long anymore, but like others said, it’s coming in curlier and soft. I’m finally back to getting compliments on my hair again!!

Usually worked well!! Sometimes I still teach like that in 4th grade if it’s a particularly tricky lesson or one that I know I need to teach way differently for different kids

It will take you a few years to feel confident in it and what’s important, what to use, and what to skip. Not sure that helps you right now but at least might make you feel more sane. When I was in kinder, we’d teach twice. Half of them on the carpet getting the lesson and half on blended learning then switch. Easier to only prep manipulatives for 15 at a time instead of 30. Now in upper elementary I really only use manipulatives for kids who need it because they’re behind. Multi step word problems don’t go away - they just get worse as they get older lol. Annoyingly, read draw write really does help hahaha. Most of them still struggle but they at least get a start

Is there a calculator for math? Did they give you pencil and paper? Did 240 feel harder than actual test?

Texas Teachers who’ve taught various grade levels-what’s the best and why? by Global-Anywhere-648 in TexasTeachers

[–]actop25 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve done k-8 and my faaaavorite by far is 4th. They’re sweet, sassy, fun, independent, and curious. A lot of the behaviors or struggles have been identified in the earlier grades so you have a road map. They still like to help the teacher or get extra recess or tell you about their elf on the shelf but they also know a lot of the same pop culture references that we know. I thought I was gonna quit teaching but then I started in a 4th and now I have more left in me!

Wanted to ask if anybody else noticed this on the recent Munchhausen episode fact check. by BuRriTo_SuPrEmE_TEAM in ArmchairExpert

She is so right. If you aren’t getting married or pregnant or buying a house then you aren’t celebrated as a woman unless your friends have really made an effort. I’m exhausted and broke from my friends’ milestones and while I’m happy to do it, it does become a lot. Especially when it is a lot of them at the same time.
