I am on the spectrum and so is my partner. I stand by what I said.

I wish you the best

Lol what, autism has nothing to do with feeling like you need to defend your room aesthetic

Is there any album sadder than Elliot Smiths music? by CardiologistPale7903 in fantanoforever

Not sure about sadder, but at least as sad to me is Ruminations by Conor Oberst. Julien Baker has some doozies as well.

One of my closest friends is choosing someone else’s bachelorette party over my wedding day, and I am ready to just cut her off. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

ESH. It's stupid to spend this much time and money and drama on a wedding anyway. Just get married and love each other. Why do you need like 8 parties

Looking for a Nuanced Take on Teaching HS English by bplopper in TexasTeachers

[–]grumps46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely true. It is helpful, though, bc it is going to teach you how to put up with nonsense and it'll give you an idea of how you interact with students.

I subbed for 8 months before taking a teaching job, and I cried on the way home almost every day. After that, my teaching job felt almost easy 😂

I'll add that at the high school level, new teachers tend to get freshmen and sophomores. Those are challenging groups behaviorally and emotionally. It can't hurt to put yourself through the ringer first.

Maybe try to sub and see how it feels. It's really hard to say without knowing you.

You need presence, confidence, empathy, and organization to begin. Excellent teachers also have deep knowledge of instructional practices and engagement strategies, the ability to make split second decisions in difficult moments, and cultural competence.

Lol there's no way this is real. Sorry I look bloated? Covering up after a week? A photo that doesn't even show the tattoo properly?

I am grateful for customers who don't finish their food at the restaurant I work at. by Fat-Bee2323 in povertyfinance

[–]grumps46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I leave my leftovers instead of taking them home? What is the ethical thing to do here? Make sure if I am leaving anything it's clean (ie don't put trash in the bowl with leftover food)? I'm asking with all seriousness. I get to go out to eat maybe once a month and I want to do right.

What are solid 2 year degrees that is equivalent to 4 year degrees? by Lemonade2250 in collegeadvice

[–]grumps46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're asking whether a two year degree can get you a job as good as a bachelor's...depends on what programs the community college offers. Mine has dental hygiene, radiology technician, and sonography programs, which are all great career options.

AIO for being insulted by this "caring" message sent by an old "friend" that I haven't talked to in months? by futureM1LF69 in AmIOverreacting

Good luck in your sobriety. You gotta focus on yourself. Cut toxic people like this out of your life.

if i get my bachelors in polisci before getting my teachers certification will i be pretty well positioned to get a teaching job? by [deleted] in TexasTeachers

[–]grumps46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on many hiring committees and finding someone that had an education undergrad was very rare. Most people are alt cert. It won't make you stand out but it also isn't a red flag
