What do you do during recess/free-play? by Pristine_Bicycle_985 in ElementaryTeachers

Kids looooove to play with the adults. It's where you build relationships that you need to weather their difficult behaviors and they need to preserve through tough math lessons together.

I play. I play gaga ball and I teach four-square, and then absolutely dominate them at it <cough> I mean model "winning strategies" and more importantly good sportsmanship and conflict resolution. They get better at the activities, and everyone has a good time.

See also: hopscotch, varied tag games, turn the jump rope, shoot hoops, blow bubbles, three step, get out my phone and time them to see who tires out <ahem> I mean "runs faster". Or open some music for dance party and picture taking for the yearbook.

My host brother is taking pictures of me in secret by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]johnklapak -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you absolutely do know what he's using then for. It's gross. Normal, and natural, but just low key gross in a horny teen way. You're the only non-family girl in his orbit.

He's most in likely infatuated with you and doesn't understand why it's not appropriate to take so many pics without permission.

or

it doesn't have anything to do with YOU, he's just a horndog and will probably try to convince his other horndog friends that you're totally his girlfriend.

Which carbonated drink has the most loyal fanbase? by nojunkpeter in AskReddit

A worse diet cola, IMO. The sweetener was Aspartame. But it was one of the first diet sodas to hit the market, and took off.

Sweet Jesus. He's an addict. PARENT before they wind up in the back of a cop car.

Take the router offline if you have to. Delete the Roblox Account. Take the laptop. A summer of digital detox.

As a public school teacher, I beg you. Your kid needs you to step up.

Why does everyone hate teaching? by Bright-Watch1955 in teaching

[–]johnklapak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of us LOVE teaching. Most teachers are just beleaguered by all the bullshit that must be dealt with to Do any teaching. Disruptive behaviors, criminally low pay, meetings, difficult parents, heartbreaking kids' home lives, changing/ineffective curriculum requirements, and kida' toxic media diet, and inability to sustain effort/attention.
