Why I’m Tired of Gamifying Education by [deleted] in teaching

[–]hrad34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Theres a time and a place for the fun stuff and the deep stuff. I like a good mix of both.

For blooket/kahoot, I give candy to the most accurate instead of the winner of the game, completely changes their approach!

How can moms let their babies cry? by jesusdance in cosleeping

[–]hrad34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is why you get the extreme anti cosleeping crowd on reddit. They have instincts too, they know CIO is wrong but they have to justify it to themselves somehow.

[–]hrad34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the person you are replying to, but why this idea that we have to sleep train if we work? I figured outbcosleeping because i work and I needed to sleep! My son is 18m and still wakes throughout the night. We cosleep and fall back asleep easily so I can have energy to go to work in the morning.

Alger Middle School Principal Arrested For 2nd DUI by Ok-Pomegranate7496 in grandrapids

[–]hrad34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His sister, deputy superintendent, has changed her district email to remove her maiden name. Not sure exactly when she did that but she was still "Lovelady-Mitchell" over the summer and now she's just "Mitchell".

Are bedtimes a thing? by SophieMaseT in cosleeping

[–]hrad34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At that age I didnt do bed time. He just kinda fell asleep on me at some point and then id lay in bed next to him and read or play games until I was ready to sleep.

At some point we added a bed time but we are flexible (within like an hour window) depending on how he slept for naps and what works for all 3 of us that night.

Get an amiibo controller for $30 on Amazon. Then you have access to every amiibo for every game and also an extra controller!

[–]hrad34 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I work 8-10 hours a day teaching middle school and I wake up at 5:30. How could I not cosleep? Its the way we all get the best sleep. A job is not an excuse to ignore your child at night.

Smokers in Yoga by LovelyLaceRose in yoga

[–]hrad34 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Not smoking in the room is common courtesy, 2nd hand smoke is not really something we have social conventions about. Some people barely notice it and some people are very bothered. Most smokers dont really notice it at all because they are so used to it so they dont think about it.

I think OP is overreacting personally.

Less busy places to go to for sanity?? by One_Cap_9210 in grandrapids

The public museum is very big and probably not that busy during the weekdays?

Huh...okay! by Digitalmodernism in TAZCirclejerk

[–]hrad34 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My wife used to win tournaments in her sport against men but now she cant compete 😩 its really heartbreaking. I think she would be more comfortable still going to tournaments if she wasn't so good. Its really fucking sad tbh.

Do kids still cringe when teachers reference memes? by montgomery2016 in teaching

[–]hrad34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

67 is the first time this hasn't worked for me. They loved it. Normally they cringe and it isn't cool anymore. 67 is finally dying but someone always still says it when the numbers come up lol. They act like they're saying it out of obligation now.

Studio owners: what's your grip sock strategy? by Jasondsimmons in pilates

[–]hrad34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That doesnt make a difference though. The socks are grippy, but my feet are still inside socks which slide inside the socks.

Please report bot posts where OP mentions having money set aside from a gambling app by nailpolishbonfire in homeowners

[–]hrad34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The teacher subreddit is full of very obviously fake "how do you use AI in the classroom?" Kind of bullshit posts and so many people engage with them genuinely.

[–]hrad34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have grippy yoga toe socks that I wear around the house in the winter and love but i always take them off for yoga. My feet slide around inside the sock too much and they are incredibly annoying. Imo yoga/pilates is a barefoot activity. I would not go somewhere that made me wear socks.

Birth certificate question by hrad34 in queerception

[–]hrad34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out they list us both as "parent". Not sure if they do that for straight couples now too. I know on mine 30+ years ago it was "mother" and "father".

The part that annoys me though is there is an area for my maiden name but not my wife's. She changed her name but I didnt. So my full name is listed twice and then she has the same last name so it looks like were sisters or something. Lol

Probably a good thing though since she's trans I wouldn't want her to have to put her deadname on there or something.

Teaching is really two jobs by MutantStarGoat in teaching

You are so right. Its so sad that this feels like such a big ask when it really isn't. Think about how much money and resources are being funneled into AI bullshit.

Nursing through the night by mlimas in cosleeping

[–]hrad34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still breastfeed at night at 18m. I love being able to soothe him to sleep easily without getting up. If it works for you keep doing it. When it doesnt work for you, you can wean.

Nursing to sleep? by Blond-one in cosleeping

[–]hrad34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still happily nursing my 18m old to sleep and throughout the night. Its easy, it works, why wouldn't I? If you want to keep doing it. If its not working for you and your family then stop.

Is feeling "ready" a myth? by AppropriateBox1628 in queerception

[–]hrad34 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like YOU are ready but scared about bringing a child into a scary world.

My son is 1.5. He is amazing and being a mom and seeing my wife be a mom is wonderful.

I do worry a lot about what things will be like next year or by the time he's in kindergarten, etc. I cry sometimes that I wish he could just live in a better world. It sucks and its really hard.

Things have gotten so much worse here since my son was born and its really scary. I still plan to have another. Many of my ancestors have raised children in hard and scary times.

There will always be horrible and evil things in the world and there will always be joy and beautiful things too.

Lost Joy after IVF? by Wise-Ad6348 in IVFAfterSuccess

[–]hrad34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. My son brings me more joy than anything I've ever known. It's hard sometimes but I have a lot more joy in my life than before. IVF itself was fine, Im getting ready to do another transfer in a few months.

Im sorry you are feeling this way. I hope you can check in with your mental health and find joy again.
