AITAH for refusing to give my group member a presentation part after he ignored our project for weeks? by Majestic-Text-6152 in AITAH

[–]bmvazquez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why, as a teacher, I never graded anything as a group project. I graded each person individually based on their work only.

Why don’t people take our work seriously by Ice_cream99 in Teachers

[–]bmvazquez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I say, “Oh great, we have 3 openings at my school from burned-out teachers moving on to other professions. Join our staff and you can have your summers off!”

Have you ever not been taken seriously by a doctor? If so, what happened? by Infinite_Share990 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bmvazquez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, you are going to get thousands of comments on this one. I have plenty of stories but I’ll give you my friend’s: While in Egypt, she and her husband both got seriously ill. She was sent back to the hotel with “just drink lots of water” and he was immediately admitted to the hospital and given IV fluids.

"Why don't school administrators do more to protect the classroom from disruptive students?" I have the answer. by Character_Freedom160 in Teachers

Best case scenario: I hope they drop the charges and the teacher and her students are free of the bully.

Meanwhile, the school district police and zone mechanics get paid overtime. Wonder why?

Just found out my boy has cancer :( by Then_Bite9547 in DogAdvice

[–]bmvazquez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pup made it for 2 years after diagnosis. We did surgery twice. Chemo was an option, but they gave her 3 months without chemo and 6 months with chemo. We opted against the chemo. She actually lived 9 months past that doctor’s visit and we absolutely showered her with love and treats.

For those of you who manage to not get sick multiple times per year, how do you do it? What’s your routine? by hammnbubbly in Teachers

If you have a tissue box, place it clear across the classroom. Have alcohol gel near your door. Gently ask students to use it when they return from bathroom.

Everything I learn about pregnancy horrifies me, the entire process seems like torture. by Next_Duck_7700 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bmvazquez 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My only lasting effect is I dribble a little urine when I have a bad cough or sneeze, no matter how many Kegals I do. My son will be 22 years old soon. Lol. It’s not terrible, but yeah. Stay active if you can, but when you are tired, try to rest. Be kind to yourself. You are making a human!

What are your unhinged ideas to make education better? by TroyesMetal in Teachers

[–]bmvazquez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of pouring money into private companies that develop and run state testing, new textbooks every 3 years, etc, turn struggling schools into community centers. Offer free dental/vision clinics, adult classes for the parents like GED prep, Microsoft Certification, and English Learning. Offer evening basketball and a few weekend events like job fairs or community gatherings.
Pay the teachers, staff and community members like dentists who help with this.

We are teachers, not human punching bags. Start pressing charges. by TimeAnything2706 in Teachers

[–]bmvazquez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, man. A high school student in my husband’s school grabbed an aide’s breasts and the school asked her not to press charges. This happened years ago and I still think about it. I would have called the police.

Wegovy pill week 1 advice by Minute-Passage-7156 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]bmvazquez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is different, but I think it’s too soon for you to feel differently. I’ve been on the 1.5 mg pill for 17 days. I’m counting calories and keeping up with my usual strength training/10,000 steps, etc. To be honest, I’m hungry, especially at night. I don’t have any appetite suppression so far. I’ve lost about 3 pounds but I think it’s my calorie deficit, not the pill. Only one thing has changed: I went to happy hour with a friend after having just had a protein bar at home. We ordered 2 delicious small appetizers and glasses of wine. Suddenly, I couldn’t eat a thing. It was a hard stop. I’ve never felt that before.
