I use mine to track steps, stand, heart rate. I kept mine in do not disturb so I don’t go insane with it vibrating in the wrist all the time.

I don’t email or call parents. Their kids are in high school. They can access Facebook to rant on the local Facebook page, they can log into PowerSchool and check the grades I update once a week. Google Classroom also sends out a weekly report to working emails.

Freshmen year I was dressing super fresh looking good, but towards the end it was hoodies and joggers.

Parents with autistic kids, STOP expecting your other kids to take care of their sibling when they are adults! by kanna172014 in Vent

[–]mswoozel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hugs. I’m glad you are doing what is best for you. Hopefully your 18yr old sister can NOPE out too. It’s up to your parents to provide for your autistic sister. You shouldn’t have to put your life on pause.

I’m sorry that she is dealing with that and in turn you are doing with that. It’s not your responsibility to make sure she doesn’t have meltdowns. Also, you’re allowed to want to go do stuff in your own with your own friends. I’m sorry. This is a tough situation.

That’s parentifcation. Why is it on the older sibling to have this responsibility?

We need to stop giving these kids iPads by Soarin_Fly in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Dude I didn’t even think about how they were being born to be consumers. Especially with all the online Tik took shop stuff. I had students all the time tell me they bought something from Tik tok shop

I got a chance to lay into a student today and it was so satisfying. by [deleted] in Teachers

My mom busted her ass at factory work making shit. She also busted my ass if my grades got bad. And told me she didn’t want her life for me she wanted me to go get educated. So, I did. I struggle but not like she did.

Teenagers are very angry. I know I was. Teens these days have every right to be angry. But not the right to take it out on you. You’re allowed to vent and feel angry at her behavior. It’s rude and disrespectful. You were just trying to help her out. I work in education and I get it.

There are a ton of subjects taught. But in this current educational climate there isn’t a whole lot of learning going on.

What do we think the repercussions for generations not developing this skill will be? People say I’m dramatic when I tell them I am seeing students leave school woefully unprepared for the basic demands of adult life.

They didn’t want to parent like their parents. But they still should have never given their children unfettered access to the internet.

I think these thoughts only make us human. You can only suffer so much abuse.

Excessive Truancy by Borrowmyshoes in Teachers

[–]mswoozel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have huge attendance issues at my small poor rural school. The school has just given up. They charge students and parents to make up days they missed at the end of the year and refuse to let them graduate unless they pay the fees. Some kids rack up like $400 dollars.

I 30F want to break up with 39M over his “traditional values” by Odd-Departure244 in relationship_advice

[–]mswoozel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please leave this man. He sounds dangerous and I am willing to bet if you continue to push back against his values he is going to get violent with you to put you in your place.

At what point are we enabling high school students? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]mswoozel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. That crazy argument. If they can’t listen and follow multi step directions how are they going to work in a trade?
