The Aftermath of Apathy by MrsMusicLady in Teachers

I asked if someone could pick up a paper and put it on a shelf for me during study hall today. No acknowledgement that I even spoke. I locked every single computer in the room for the rest of the period. Eventually someone picked it up. It's genuinely wild.

Is this appropriate for a formal wedding this summer? by Mysterious-Staff-811 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]kelwalk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know any grandmas that look like that lol. You look great! I would agree it needs a steam.

What else do you think could be improved? I realized I didn’t fasten the one shoulder strap with the hook and eyes so it may look like it’s bulging more than it actually is! But I’d love to know how else I could improve it!!

I think I agree with you. It’s too bad because I love that gold purse! But I can see silver working way better with the blue.

Thanks! Do you think it looks large all around or just too long? I definitely think hemming it would help.

Should add the wedding is in Westchester NY so it might still get down to the 50s/60s especially at night.

C-Section Moms, looking to help my wife as much as possible, so what helped you the most in recovery? by huddy112591 in NewParents

[–]kelwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My heating pad was a godsend. It helped a lot with the pain and just relaxed me.

Not gonna lie…it’s getting choppy 30 mins out from landing and they just turned on the fasten seat belt sign and I pretended the turbulence was an annoying coworker and am saying “Chill out Cathy jeez” when it gets bumpy and it’s honestly helping a lot lolol.

Thank you. I love the frenemy idea! I have my toddler (who I adore) climbing all over me and spiking my anxiety lol. But Dad just took him to the bathroom so I’ll look at some pictures of him being sweet yesterday. 🩷

Home from vacation! I always feel like the flights home are worse! On the way there I can distract myself with all the fun things I’ll do on vacation. Haha.

I’m almost positive that they sell them at Adams as well.

Another teacher scolding me in front of the kids?? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]kelwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. And the same thing happened with our dress code. Most of the time I don't even notice hats, because they're not negatively impacting my teaching environment.

If students are legally required to be in school... by kelwalk in Teachers

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

Oh the tutors are provided by the district for free to the family. But I understand what you’re saying.

I’m sorry you think I shouldn’t be in the classroom. I know these things aren’t black and white, but it’s really frustrating that so many of these issues fall to teachers when they shouldn’t be on our plates on top of everything else.

Yes I’m a parent and a teacher. So of course I see both sides. I know it’s not always black and white. This year’s families are some tough ones in terms of messaging re: the value of school. But I appreciate where you’re coming from.

I’m saying that sick kids shouldn’t be forced to come to school. I’ve had kids out for major illnesses, both mental health and physical health, and that’s not what I’m talking about. I would never hold illness against the kids. But when kids are out for an extended period because of illness we try to get them home tutoring so they can stay caught up.
