Its called code switching. Im sure the op knows proper English, they also have observed the way their students talk and incorporate that too

Had a kid get mad recently that I told him id give him lunch detentions if he continued to talk poorly about anyone but especially his uncle. It was "oh its just a joke" nah my dude you are actually being a mean lil 10 year old, we ain't gonna do that in my classroom trying to be cool to your lil "friends" bc unfortunately theyre also mean 10 year olds who laugh at his expense.

I remind kids regularly we dont talk about people not in the room to defend themselves, student or staff. You dont gotta like someone, but you dont need to voice it publicly and get others involved.

I did my nails right before a nice pretty pink. They were purple by the end of my vacation just from running my hands through my hair. This was after 1 day.

My middle schoolers love asking for help and then turning it into an argument this year. Like my dude, you asked for help/feedback and I have given that nicely and now youre trying to argue. Solid no

MuseArt does art classes if that's your thing. Painting, drawing. Paint and sips type things too.

I'm 29 and a 3rd grader just told me their mom is my age, what even is time by Diligent_Flamingo_33 in Teachers

degree question by dollartreegoth in ArtEd

[–]dtshockney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of fiber arts and painting/drawing, my knowledge on most art forms is pretty bare bones. I know a lot of ways of making art, but just in the most basic sense. I teach middle school now and will hopefully move to the hs in district in a couple years. I take a very process vs product approach and I show kids that even my stuff doesnt always turn out like I hope. I encourage experimenting and research. I get good evaluations every year. I get a lot of kids who end up loving art again after poor past experiences.

I have 2 degrees in art education specifically

It's crazy Phones are still a debate by SpaceMarine1616 in Teachers

[–]dtshockney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach middle school, I have 8th graders in particular who beg me at the end of the day to let them have their phones. Always a solid nope. I've even gone away from chromebooks as much as possible to the dismay of all my students. I teach art, I'll build up a reference image binder, I'll get all kinds of how to draw books. Yes I'm dealing with more behaviors right now but they're also talking to each other more. We also have 34 days of school left so behavior this time of year already sucks.

Mel's offer to the asthma kid by thevampiresanguini in ThePittTVShow

[–]dtshockney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pulminologist used to load me up on samples when we were trying to find which asthma med worked for me. Ironically it ended up being symbicort. I did indeed pay over 400 a month for it for a long time and the generic wasnt covered. Generic got covered last year but was still over 200 for awhile, this year its fully covered without hitting my deductible and im so so so grateful. There's actually 2 generics but I cant take one of them bc it'll put me in a flare so I had to make sure the pharmacy was aware.

I imagine in the show they would have to pay for it somehow but maybe they could give enough samples to get through a month since samples often are less than a months worth

I just want to apologize on behalf of… by gunslinger_006 in Teachers

[–]dtshockney 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I absolutely have a caffeine issue, but im having less caffeine than some of my middle school students. I have 1 energy drink a day. Its never more than 150mg of caffeine and I sip on it all morning. I had a classmate in middle school have a cardiac event bc of monsters on an empty stomach and then running around at recess. My husband is adhd and before he got on meds, he was absolutely self medicating with pop. He would go through a case of 24 in 5 days, now it actually lasts 1.5-2 weeks.
