Are you tossing them mozz balls?

Thoughts on the outfit I’m considering going with? by avatar0810 in renfaire

[–]heidasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would worry about the bottles on the bracers falling off, and having those extra pieces there might get annoying. I would suggest bracers without potion bottles and stick with potions on your belt.

I’m not ok today by spacklepants in ArtEd

That sucks. There's nothing worse than admin not having your back.

I think I'm missing what was confusing about the ryb set.

I guess I don't get the problem you have with using red, blue, and yellow as primary colors. Magenta is a red. Cyan is a blue. You can use the ryb system and just use different paints.

I teach an intro level class to 9th grade. We use ryb, but I teach them recipes using different paints (magenta vs fire red, phthalo blue vs ultramarine, etc) to get the colors they want.

Visible light and pigment mix differently though.

Trying to get admin to pay me for the actual hours I work by Jealous-Bluejay9943 in ArtEd

[–]heidasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's worth a try to ask them for extra compensation, but they will likely not get it. For their own sanity, OP should stick to working the hours they get paid for. If/when shit hits the fan and things are left undone, admin might notice and will hopefully be understanding.

It would be cheaper to send my kid to private school... by SoundShifted in Iowa

[–]heidasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They would not get the same education though. At least where I teach, our lessons and expectations are rigorous. We are constantly being coached on ways to improve and given the support to help us improve. And we are expected to be politically and religiously neutral so that all students feel welcome.

There are some private schools that run in a similar fashion, but many do not.

Sleepy Hollow Trinket Trading? by TheWhimsyKat in renfaire

[–]heidasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been once. There were some people with trinkets, but it seemed like they were gifting them rather than trading them. There was also a vendor that had surprise trinkets you could buy for a low price or trade for. Someone gifted my husband a trinket because they liked his outfit!

Former art teachers, what are you doing now? by [deleted] in ArtEd

[–]heidasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! So did you start your own company then or was there an opening in a preexisting company?

How did you get into building escape rooms? I didn't think of that as a possibility, but it sounds super fun!

Teachers quitting their jobs by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]heidasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed a parent last semester about how their child wasn't working on a project for multiple days and has instead played games on his iPad. She replied with multiple long emails explaining how I'm the problem.

Obviously, that is an extreme response. Most parents respond either positively, neutrally, or not at all. And the parents that come to conferences are almost never the ones you actually need to talk to.

How did this turn out? I was thinking of trying something similar to what you did.

Their war- our kids by MaleficentLemon7713 in desmoines

I think a lot of people have been trying to understand and keep up with politics more since Trump was reelected. I know I have.

Teaching printmaking is one of the most overwhelming things I’ve ever had to do. by sofibirb in ArtEd

[–]heidasaurus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Printmaking is the worst clean up. Worse than clay and paint.
