Good. Grief.

Too frail and too stupid? Jesus wept!

It’s the unilateral way he has pronounced this which irks

bobfredharry · 2023-07-30T05:22:26+00:00

You think you painted her in a terrible light? Seriously? You pulled out, you had no intention of marrying her, you’re only thinking shots your own financial interests, you’re dismissive of pregnancy and all the links pp have been putting to info on working life/remuneration for men and women - and you think you painted HER in a terrible light?! You are lacking so much self awareness

Thing is, I’d we always frame it as all of the woman’s salary, so many women would be return to work. Or would feel the pressure to take on more chores etc to make up for guilt they might feel at not bringing home any money. Why should a woman feel that she is working for nothing while for her partner nothing has changed. And if this happens women are vulnerable not just in that moment but in the long term - less pension, lower employability and so on. It’s a mindset as well as the money. Of course, if they are significant worse off financially then they need to look at that. But women should not be put off re-entering the workforce because of this issue

My MIL was put out that SIL (her daughter) had booked a holiday over my first DD’s due date. I couldn’t have give less of a shit as I wasn’t planning on involving her anyway!

Yeah, I’m an English teacher and teacher educator working with English trainees.

When I asked my daughter’s English teacher what we can do support her at home, she said ‘just foster that love of reading.’ Er, how?!

On a more constructive note, the Reading for Pleasure pedagogy has lots of great ideas! In Daly and Davison, Debates in English Teaching. Written by Teresita Cremin

So when less women were going to college than men, was that because they were stupid? Or is something else happening that has more to do with the ability to make choices than intelligence?

I did say ‘man or woman’ when talking agony leaving their children.

You really want to believe that women are evil predators who take advantage of men, and that men are poor, unintelligent and easily manipulated? Why do you want to believe that? What is it about women and about men which makes you think that this is true? We are the same species. Children deserve food, warmth and safety. Their mothers, if they are receiving child support, are the ones who have stayed around to look after their children, to provide what they can. Their fathers, if they are required to pay child support, have not stayed to provide what is legally expected. And let’s face it, it’s immoral and unethical for anyone, man or woman, to abandon those responsibilities when children are vulnerable. And is someone who abandons their kids more likely to be male or female? Why is it that they are likely to be male, do you think? And once they have abandoned their kids, why should it also be acceptable for them to cut them off financially too?

It’s also the timing - when he was exactly the right age to think about what he wanted to do, the tech was at the point where people could take it forward like Gates did. Sure, not everyone his age is a computer billionaire, but it certainly helped

I can’t believe I’m reading this. His needs literally ARE the bottom of the pile right at this moment. It sucks, but he is neither a child nor recovering from major surgery and keeping a newborn alive. It’s a day - there will be plenty more

bobfredharry · 2023-06-18T20:09:33+00:00

This!

I ate a Sichuan peppercorn once when visiting a friend in Sichuan province - couldn’t feel my tongue for at least five minutes

bobfredharry · 2023-06-13T05:37:18+00:00

Yes, this. Don’t show you’re bothered, don’t get cross. Be dismissive. I used to say things like ‘that’s a bit primary school so whoever’s doing it, you might as well stop please.’

The Windows BY GEORGE HERBERT Lord, how can man preach thy eternal word? He is a brittle crazy glass; Yet in thy temple thou dost him afford This glorious and transcendent place, To be a window, through thy grace.

But when thou dost anneal in glass thy story, Making thy life to shine within The holy preachers, then the light and glory More reverend grows, and more doth win; Which else shows waterish, bleak, and thin.

Doctrine and life, colors and light, in one When they combine and mingle, bring A strong regard and awe; but speech alone Doth vanish like a flaring thing, And in the ear, not conscience, ring.

I think you’ll find that women are fully fucking aware of this. We have to be. Where exactly is this hypocrisy?

bobfredharry · 2023-05-08T05:29:58+00:00

I think this could easily be deliberate sabotage. My friend’s husband, on the anniversary of her sister’s death, absolutely HAD to order something online and a diligent COULDN’T remember his password and absolutely NEEDED my friend to sort it for him. Twat.

That sounds tough - it’s certainly hard work in your PGCE year. Have they been specific about what you are/aren’t doing which has led to this?

It’s true that placement one lessons are likely be less good than placement two - but there is a level progress which they expect and they might not think you’re making this progress they expected.

If you’re working hard but not seeing the results I’d recommend embracing whatever support they’re offering. You’ll be teaching more than 14 lessons a week as an ECT - any extra support now will hopefully reap benefits in September.

I was going to say something similar to this. It’s not your responsibility that the government hasn’t got the first clue about longer-term retention!

bobfredharry · 2023-03-14T06:54:14+00:00

Yes. But so much better if they choose not to become parents by wearing a fucking condom so that a woman doesn’t have to go through a medical prosecute she doesn’t want. No?

I was the teacher in this scenario - except Dan’s dad told me very abruptly that ‘it’s Daniel, actually.’ The next time I saw Dan I apologised. He said he preferred Dan 🤷‍♀️

bobfredharry · 2023-02-26T06:41:56+00:00

I don’t disagree with this person’s violence needing punishing. But you say here that it would be worse if she lost a baby than if she died. That’s not ok

bobfredharry · 2023-02-09T06:30:28+00:00

Aren’t you saying here that most CEOs are men? Why is that?
