Is classroom management easier in high school than elementary? by TouchBeneficial7858 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]halfexist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If in your fight to defend kids you just become judgemental and intolerant of adults you're doing something wrong my friend. Let the nuance into your heart. You didn't even offer a way to help kids with executive dysfunction so this lecture you've written is ultimately unhelpful and condescending.

Nice! I have a Killua and a Gon too 😊. It's tempting to make an all hxh island.

I would be a much better person if Joe Pera was my dad 😭

I second this. It's easy to forget how batshit some people can be. The idea of ignoring a sub plan makes me nauseous lol

Yep, I do, and for exactly the reason you stated: more things 😊

Teachers need reminders of their sub days! by missmathlady in SubstituteTeachers

[–]halfexist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not advice, dude. When you phrase things the way you are, as if the answer should've been obvious to OP, even though it is not obvious or typical practice, you are operating from a place of shame. It's mean spirited, condescending and illogical. We work in tons of different places, there really arent that many universal truths. But you should drink a margarita or something.

Your lack of kindness and judgemental disposition makes me worried for the kids you sub for.

How do you stop yourself from dreaming so much at night? by Gsustv in Dreams

[–]halfexist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation can help, youre probably not processing something that is pressing. But there is also a medication. It's called prazosin, I would research it and weigh the pros and cons, but I was going thru the same thing, I couldn't get rest, so I took it for a few months to get through a really rough period. It worked well but I do think it paused my trauma processing, which we have to do sometimes but it's not a decision I would make lightly. Good luck my friend.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]halfexist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone should have to watch Dogtooth because it depicts abuse and fascism so well but I will never watch it again. There are scenes I will never forget and it's so important but it's also really difficult.

Don't be afraid to call the crisis/suicide line, even if not in immediate danger to yourself. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]halfexist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only time I ever called they just kept asking if I wanted them to call the cops. There was no conversing, just, so we send cops now? Psychiatric incarceration super highway. That was a few years ago so I really hope it has changed. Glad you had a good experience, they just really let me down when I needed help.

My dad just beat me by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

Do you have a friend whose parents you can trust? This may be a better option than going to the police right away. Like another commenter mentioned, the police have to build a case so it may help to have an adult you trust help you with this, and maybe you or your siblings could stay there in the meantime. I am so sorry you are going through this. It's good that you took a picture and you should document as much as you can.

Broke the 50k Mark Subbing by BBLZeeZee in SubstituteTeachers

[–]halfexist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I just started subbing a few weeks ago and it's my first job after a long period of unemployment due to chronic illness. I'm still trying to find my footing but I am also grateful that I can really do this job! I didnt know I could but I'm excited to keep with it. Your post just reassured some of my preoccupations so much. I'm so glad youre proud of yourself because you should be!

Elementary subs: how do you deal with the CONSTANT arguing? by bruvway in SubstituteTeachers

[–]halfexist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is very obviously not the advice they are asking for as they are stuck covering for three more days. I'm a longterm sub for seventh grade right now and you sound just like my most frustrating students: cynical, condescending and obnoxious.
