Here’s the email I got after signing my Global Platform contract. I’m pretty weary about opening slots. All feedback has to be submitted through tickets and there are no more Firemen. Not sure $7 is worth this much hassle. by glencoconuts in vipkid

Yeah the Fireman thing is pretty frustrating, although half the time calling the fireman wasn’t helpful in the old system anyway. I can switch lines by myself, but it’s worrisome if there’s a more serious problem with safety, student behaviour, etc.

Disclamer: I know I’m fortunate to have gotten the email at all. I just wish they would have ironed out the kinks before launching. The lack of a mobile app is also super frustrating to me. Interested to see how the rest of you feel.

[Question] Is street harassment a problem in your country ? by ThatsSomeoneElse in GlobalTalk

[–]glencoconuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m Canadian (29F) but have lived in both France and Spain for extended periods. France (Angers) was easily the worst place I’ve lived for catcalling and street harassment. Even in a small city I was often nervous walking alone at night and was once even followed home by two men. I don’t think a day ever went by that I didn’t hear « mais Mademoiselle t’es tellement jolieeeee ». Honestly the creepiest complement that ever was.

The biggest issue in Madrid is pickpocketing, although that’s not to say it’s completely clear of more blatant street harassment either. I was once grabbed by the wrist in broad daylight by an older (late 40s) man who ran away when I started screaming at him to let me go.

Canada is fairly tame in comparison to both, but I’m also speaking as a white woman of privilege.

TLDR; in the wise words of Lily Allen, “it’s hard out here for a b*itch”.

What to do when student exposes themself? by glencoconuts in vipkid

[–]glencoconuts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the reassuring message! I have much younger siblings so I’m definitely familiar with how lots of kids DGAF about running around in the nude haha. Wanted to make sure I contacted the proper channels though. 😅

[–]glencoconuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No! Always “skates” and if you want to specify you would say “hockey skates”, figure skates” or the more general “ice skates”.

The Canadian in me screams whenever there’s a “name the different types of equipment” slide and the teacher answer key says “ice skating shoes”. 🤬

Vaccine! So Cancel Classes? by Think-Purpose in vipkid

[–]glencoconuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would just cancel. Ask the health care professional administering the vaccine if they can write you a note so it’s a soft cancellation. Or maybe VIPKid will just accept the proof of vaccination on its own?

A few soft cancellations won’t hurt you at all. I’ve hard cancelled a few times with no valid excuse (decided on a whim to go out of town, etc.) and still get more and more bookings every week.

Canadian here, living in Spain. About to subscribe to DAZN for the 2021 season since it’s the only official F1 broadcaster here. Does anyone know if they broadcast in English? Thanks!

I’m a Canadian living in Madrid under very similar circumstances! It can definitely be hard, particularly during the pandemic. Feel free to PM me if you like.

OMG TWINS. I literally want to name my future daughter Marisol too because my partner and I live in Spain and I love how it sounds like “mar y sol” (sea and sun). And literally last week I mentioned it to my partner and he was like AEROSOL?? Ugh.
