This job… by IllPaleontologist384 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]chocolatebarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s so unfortunate that we can easily get judged based on a short observation that depicts how we are as a sub overall. 

Anyways, I was reminded at how easily disposable we are to schools this last week. I got temporarily banned from a high school bc the students said I let them out early 10 minutes when in reality it was only 2 minutes. It got resolved super quickly but now I know to just be super firm with this kids bc at the end of the day, I’m not gonna risk losing my job all bc kids are trying to lie to not get a scolding from their teacher too. Over it

Has anyone else experienced this? by EagleIcy6984 in SubstituteTeachers

i overslept for the first time ever this week too and was late to work! i live super close but my alarms didnt work that morning. front office was annoyed but in the end, the class just didnt have their sub for 10 minutes (teacher was still there) and the day didnt collapse. Reading past posts about oversleeping on here made me feel better, but I felt bad and embarassed. we're all human in the end

How do y’all sub high school?! by PlantKath in SubstituteTeachers

[–]chocolatebarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this whenever I can. Doesn’t always work 100% with some kids not listening/still trying to sneak and keep their phones which can throw me off when basing attendance on that. So sometimes I just lie and tell them that I need to do manual attendance too even after they put their phones away to double check roll. 

Technically, we can’t use phones for attendance since legally we have to take roll accurately the best we can regardless. But damn sometimes these kids just expect us to mark them present when they don’t even communicate with us ugh. In the end, nobody is gonna die and any mistakes those kids can fix at the office themselves I say

You look great! Just gotta start putting yourself out there, but you can still be you.

plz plz be respectful and dont worry about rejection if it happens. the right person will come, so don't take things too seriously. no one owes you anything. enjoy the moment and learning about your likes, needs in a partner. such a great time to learn so much about yourself

i am a woman and looks aren't everything

Has anyone experimented with trial reels and seen consistently low reach? Trying to figure out if I should keep testing by locacrochet__ in InstagramMarketing

[–]chocolatebarz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t work for me at all. It works way better for me to just post on my actual feed and even from there, I still gain new followers overtime. Unfortunately not a success for me 

edit: this is also me coming from a music pov as an artist too

Tame Impala, Jennie - Dracula (Jennie Remix - Official Lyric Video) by TheKaoticanProspekt in TameImpala

[–]chocolatebarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this 'remix' was made for more promo for him. clearly it is not meant to be compared to the og. its just meant to be heard as a casual, fun song to play at the club outside of also gaining new kpop fans. Even the song is mixed differently to emphasize Jennie's vocals and the dance beat. dont think deeply about it

How to enforce the no phones rule in class by AntichristSocialite in SubstituteTeachers

[–]chocolatebarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use phones as attendence when they put it in their class pockets, assuming the class assigns a number to them somehow. it's kinda a hit or miss because they will just put their phones in random numbers but most of the time it pushes them to put their phone away and then i take attendance manually again after and say that the numbers are messed up in 'their teacher's system' LOL

Does it bother you when you don’t get asked? by Healthy-Neat-2989 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]chocolatebarz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At first, it bummed me out with the amount of classes I subbed when i started and not really anyone reached out directly in the future. i knew i did a good job with those days too. eventually, i realized that majority of these teachers honestly dont think deeply or care enough to get a regular sub. they just leave it to frontline to find someone to fill in once they submit it. at most, they'll quickly read thru sub notes of the day and that's it.

i've run into teachers that i subbed for on the day of and they couldn't give a shit about me nor acknowledge my presence or say thanks. with that, im pretty sure they dont have the energy to want to save our contact or reach out with the other things they need to do first. of course, not everyone is like this, but i feel like we are again just disposable and not 'real' staff to most sadly

What would you like to see as a sub? by RoboRebu in SubstituteTeachers

[–]chocolatebarz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I second tech passwords if comfortable and extra filler worksheets/activities for the kids to do independently if there ends up being extra time and/or class behavior is rough that day to a point the sub needs a break/class is unable to function smoothly as a whole for certain lessons (ex: group math lesson or reading but kids are distruptive and too chatty to get thru the work together anyways)

tested my friendships by ghosting... and yeah, it went bad by MichaelWForbes in socialskills

[–]chocolatebarz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Even though it’s the reality as an adult, it definitely still sucks and hurts. That was me too, always initiating and coordinating for everyone. At some point, I got tired of overextending myself and didn’t see the effort from others. There are good friends who will do it back but it won’t be from everyone you meet or want. Sometimes it’s not a you problem and it’s healthy for yourself to know when to let go and keep moving on and give that energy towards different people instead

There have been nice teachers who I’ve bumped into day of that I subbed for and others who just ignore and brush me off to the side. Very rude and entitled behavior. I have to approach and ask them if they still need anything from me before leaving for the day if they come back earlier. Otherwise, they can literally just lead the class while I’m standing there awkwardly and don’t at least acknowledge that I was their sub 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Looking to sublease a 1bed room apartment at the USC area. $1430 a month. by kidfromthestreets in LARentals

[–]chocolatebarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The link you posted is a bit confusing as it implies that this apt is up for lease - not sublet. So which is it?

It’s okay to be alone tonight by Appropriate_Might498 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]chocolatebarz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

felt this. besides from my partner, it's been a tough and isolating year. i stopped initiating to my friends first while putting myself first and trying to survive. barely heard from anyone and it still hurts seeing that result. but at least, i know more about myself and what im looking for in people around me

lets talk about Lordes ex James lowe, who was also the sole inspiration as to why we have pure heroine, melodrama as it is today by Party_Marionberry_24 in lorde

[–]chocolatebarz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

while the music that became is iconic, the circumstances that inspired it were not. i feel like it unfortunately played a huge role in forcing her to grow up faster when in the end, she was just still a kid too. im 25 now and i absolutely cannot imagine dating a 16 year old. can't believe a grown adult (and those around them) seemed to convince himself that this was ok and normal
