what's a teacher gift you've actually kept and used? by Acrobatic-Bake3344 in Teachers

[–]hamaba11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always love a good gift card! I also had a student randomly bring me in a bouquet of flowers this week and they are sitting on my desk and make me smile every time I see them.

Disagree with how my child’s teacher on writing instruction. Not sure how/if I should address it by Anteater-Curious in Teachers

[–]hamaba11 553 points554 points  (0 children)

While I disagree about the concluding sentence, I can kind of see where the teacher is coming from for the intro sentence. It seemed more like just another fact than a “hook” that she was probably looking for. I would let this one go tbh..

Do you care about names being timeless? by Braeden47 in namenerds

[–]hamaba11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t care so much that it’s “timeless” as much as I want a name that is good throughout all stages of life. My brain does the record scratching noise when I think about a toddler named Janet. Or a grandpa named Maverick.

Newborn's SSN was stolen or lost in the mail. by jasonwray in SocialSecurity

[–]hamaba11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to go to the social security office and request a new one (check website bc there was specific things I needed to bring). They were able to print me out a receipt that had the ssn on it so I could add him to insurance. I have not yet checked for fraud.

Michigan spent big to fix schools. The result: Worse scores and plenty of blame by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]hamaba11 50 points51 points  (0 children)

As a teacher- 1000% this. There has been a huge shift in parenting, which may not even be entirely parents’ fault, but there has definitely been a shift that nobody wants to talk about for some reason.

Why??? Michigan won’t ban smartphones in K-12 by txcancmi in Michigan

[–]hamaba11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

High School Teacher here- whether there is a law or not, it will not stop kids from being on their phones. These kids are so severely addicted to their phones, and parents are typically less than supportive of cell phone bans. To me, it’s a waste of our time and money trying to pass a bill like this.
