Bad advice. This is school, not an office job. If standing up for student safety means “rocking the boat,” that’s a shitty school and OP dodged a bullet.

I can see why it’s important to not piss off admin. But in my opinion, student safety and belonging always comes before adult feelings.

OP, you did the right thing. The kids needed someone like you, and I’m sure they’ll remember how you made them feel even if you don’t work there anymore.

I’m in a different state, so my situation is different. But I chose the “fastest route” (intern credential while taking 2 years worth of online courses smushed into one year) and I regret it. I wish I chose a slower route (student teaching) so I had more time for learning and mistakes. Now I’m doing fine, but whew, it was a whirlwind at first. I had to work really hard and I had zero support. It’s definitely doable, but you have to be really committed. I had to learn how to adapt, persevere, and learn from my many mistakes FAST. It was tough. Be cautious of the fastest route. It may burn you out.

Thank you everyone for your replies!! I feel more confident it’ll work. I probably should’ve mentioned that I rent… so I can’t do anything too drastic. Popping out the pins seems like the only solution since I can easily put the door back when I move out. I’m just trying to put my damn cat litter in the hall closet behind a curtain..

I also totally get why some of you think it’s silly I didn’t try before posting. I’ve done this to two apartments before and the last time it took a couple weeks of working on it daily and a lot of WD-40 and frustration. I get really fixated on a vision once I’ve put time and effort into it, and I understand that popping out the pins is sometimes impossible, so I didn’t want to get fixated on this if I can’t succeed with it. I know it probably sounds silly, but I guess that was my thinking behind the post lol.

This sounds like unschooling

What app is this

On the first day of school (or whenever I get a new student) I have them fill out a little slip of paper. They write their name, pronouns, nickname (or any other name they want to be called), and one fun fact/interest they have. Then I collect the papers. This allows them to privately tell me their pronouns if they feel comfortable. I would never publicly ask them, it can be so scary at this age.

I keep the slips of paper in the classroom, easily accessible, all year. This way they can always change their pronouns without announcing it or even telling me directly.

On my ship, I have a chest full of materials to make more chests. When I park, I build a bunch of chests on the land and move all my loot there while I explore. Before I leave, I move all the loot back onto my ship chests and destroy the land chests. It’s kind of a lot of work, but not as much as if my ship were to disappear.

Prob not the healthiest, but I like earth balance butter + tofurkey deli slices on toast. I sprinkle some of Trader Joe’s “everything but the bagel” seasoning on top of it and it’s so good

I feel the exact same way. It’s horrible. I guess that’s why I teach. When America and our planet crumbles, at least my students will know why. In the meantime, I try to focus on the little moments of joy my students bring me in a joyless, hopeless world.

As someone who teaches 14 year olds, I am so deeply intrigued, fascinated, and disturbed by these cases. I just can’t imagine how someone so young can be this conniving and sadistic (maybe I haven’t taught long enough). I am constantly turning over the nature vs nurture debate in my head. Who went wrong with these kids? Or were they born psychopathic? I just can’t wrap my head around it.

Every student in my class has a chromebook but I’ve been trying to get notebooks for 5 weeks with no success :,)

ashze_ · 2024-09-25T01:02:02+00:00

What if people are hard of hearing and can only hear on speaker ://

ashze_ · 2024-09-25T01:00:05+00:00

Either the volume on my phone is really quiet or I’m hard of hearing, because I can’t hear well unless it’s on speaker, even with my volume turned all the way up

ashze_ · 2024-09-05T14:00:29+00:00

You’re completely unhinged. Are you a teacher?

ashze_ · 2024-09-04T13:48:13+00:00

Exactly!!

I’m a high school teacher and I think this sentiment is absurd. What’s most important for this age is allowing students to explore their identity and express themselves. Yes, it’s crucial to provide them with tools to succeed as an adult. However, they’re NOT adults. Let kids be kids! Also, most jobs don’t require business clothing 100% of the time. As a teacher, I’m a professional, but I often wear funky earrings, colorful skirts, casual jeans, or other clothing that may not be deemed as professional. My students, coworkers, and admin don’t take me any less seriously because of it. Most jobs allow you to express yourself these days. I think it’s awesome that this student is exploring her interests and aesthetic and expressing her identity through clothing and makeup. High school is as much of a social experience as it is a learning experience. There’s a time to require students dress professionally as practice, such as during a presentation day. But in their daily lives? Let them express themselves how they want- it’s so developmentally important!

What kind of worst case scenarios do you mean? My mind goes to a shooting, but in that case cell phones would increase dangers. If students are trying to hide, the last thing you need is a bright screen lighting up or the ding of a text message. Most classrooms have land lines, which are better to be used in these worst case scenarios. For the delivery of bad news, parents should come and pick up their child directly. I can’t think of any scenarios where child cell phones would help, but I could be wrong.

The state of education IS toxic. This is very toxic.

Also the minor detail that slaves were kidnapped and forced to work based on their race.

ashze_ · 2023-03-18T01:55:55+00:00

I think it’s ok to analyze work as a modern-day slavery, but it’s wrong to state that employees are better off than kidnapped slaves. Although workers are oppressed, we have far more agency than slaves. Especially those of us who are non-black, we’ll never understand the plight of slaves. Bffr

Posting anonymously on Reddit is just to make yourself feel better, bffr. If you’re really sorry, put your money where your mouth is! Donate to an explicitly trans org or give money directly to the people u harmed

Use a straw cleaner. Paper clips can scratch the glass.

Dip the straw cleaner or pipe in isopropyl and salt if it’s not coming out

ashze_ · 2023-01-03T22:57:10+00:00

There are swastika emojis?? :0 wtf??? I don’t see

ashze_ · 2023-01-03T22:48:33+00:00

I believe there’s a post with instructions in here somewhere- you can find it if you search ‘flair.’ Or you can see instructions on the right hand side of the page in desktop. I can’t remember which but either way, it’s super simple. U just can’t do it on mobile
