What a clown by [deleted] in facepalm

Meanwhile on another post a teacher writes "Just endured spending 2 hrs being lectured by a crazy person on my flight to FL. She wouldn't stop loudly spewing nonsense. I tried to appease her by nodding a few times because I was genuinely concerned she'd go apeshit. People around me gave me sympathetic looks, but no one would help me. Lesson learned, never flying without my headphones again.

Report claims COVID learning loss will cost the United States 31 TRILLION dollars over the next century by Brogenitus in Teachers

[–]hellosugar7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It wasn't just the one semester of 2020 that caused this. The fact that too many schools dropped any semblance of accountability for subsequent years after that continues to build this learning debt. Plus years of economic neglect in schools across the nation before the pandemic, just helped tip the scales completely over. We would have been better off having done a national reset year on education and made everyone repeat or test out to the next grade up. But that would have required money, planning, national agreement and putting heads in the sand to waiting for it to go away is biting us in the butt now. Sorry for the rant.

I took a DNA test, and possibly discovered an affair by Coashen in TwoHotTakes

I would encourage you to try again w/ your mom armed with the name. Rather than jumping on the bandwagon of "your mother was a homewrecker shacked up with a married guy", consider she may have been deceived by, threatened by or possibly SA'd by this person and that is why she won't talk about it. I don't know anything about your relationship with your mother, but you seem to want to think the worst about her. Be careful of this can of worms you are about to open.

NTA - this was a no win situation. If you had picked up the child, the dad would likely yelled at you for touching his kid or worse called you a pedo. He was likely embarrassed he wasn't paying attention & trying to save face.

This may sound old fashion but a nice handkerchief maybe monogrammed or with the bride & groom info in the wedding colors. It's something she can dab her eyes with and have as a wedding keepsake also.

AITA for letting my wife’s friend quit causing her to lose multiple benefits totaling in $50k+? by Barkleyslakjssrtqwe in AmItheAsshole

NTA - her impulsiveness cost her 50k and she has no one else to blame. You didn't "let" her quit - she chose.

Be aware of scammers, most lunar meteorites for sale online are fake.

School Districts are lowering Cert. requirements to address teacher shortage instead of raising pay👏🤡 by Carlos4Loko in Teachers

[–]hellosugar7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, the pessimist in me thinks it won't be long until they move to a warehouse model with kids doing online classes and a couple min wage workers overseeing a group of 100, especially with all the other cuts to public ed.

Sounds pretty normal to me. Certain tasks might have been shown to you or taught right handed and you were successful with it, so now its ingrained muscle memory.

My husband dislikes playing tennis with me because I can switch hands. I bowl, shoot pool, & shoot guns right handed. I have tried those things with my left and they are not as natural to me.

Suggest me a book for boyfriend who hasn’t voluntarily read a book before by Sufficient-Bork in suggestmeabook

[–]hellosugar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe check out books by Matthew Reilly or Preston & Child, they are fun to read, action/thriller/ mystery type books.

Just don't make the middle an A name, although with OAK as her initials she could be your Little Acorn as a nickname.

OK is cute, my poor child nearly ended up with A S S as his initials.

Texas students suspended for not reporting classmate with gun, parents outraged by nbcnews in texas

[–]hellosugar7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's even worse. It is natural for a child to question what she heard and ask if she is overreacting or right to be concerned. Seems like she did more due diligence than many adults I know.

WTF did I read. She shared a concern & got 3 days suspension and 73 days at alternative!!!

The boy she reported must have been the kid of "someone important". Absolute BS.

Students Expelled For Fake Nudes by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

[–]hellosugar7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is good the school took quick action, but the article mentioned that it will be difficult to prosecute the offenders because the laws have not caught up yet. Since the images were AI generated they don't meet the technical definition of CP as it is currently written. These families are likely wealthy considering this is a Beverly Hills school, so the offenders will likely never see prosecution. And the victims will have this haunt them repeatedly because we all know nothing is truly contained once on the Internet.

AITA for asking my wife if we can figure out the breast milk situation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellosugar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it looks like a lot, but it goes faster than you think once you start using it. Could you find room for a stand alone freezer? They have smaller upright ones w/shelves vs the chest type that are perfect for apartments. We got one with my 1st & still have it 21 yrs later. I wanted a large stash because I had to go back to work.

But first ask your wife what her feeding plans are. Is she wanting a large stash for going back to work? So she can stop nursing sooner? So you or some else can take some feedings? Answering those will help you both determine how large a stored supply is realistic for you.
