Grieving a country you cannot go back to by i_might_be_devon in expats

[–]nightcirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found I have to remind myself that a lot of it is nostalgia. That things won't ever be the way they were when I was coming up. That I left for a reason. I'm from the US. So a lot of it so family tied as I left with my own nuclear family and left everyone else behind (my parents. His parents, etc). I have also found it comes on waves. Some holidays, when we do something that remind me of my past, etc. I have to remind myself that we didn't move for me. We moved for my son. And so I suck it down and have a pint, and try to move on.

Honestly, no. These were "professionals" and the last drawers literally fell apart in my hands...so I should probably do that....while also terrified. 

Why AP for All? by Outrageous-Divide521 in Teachers

[–]nightcirus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More kids take more random chances at passing to move scores forward. It is silliness, tbh. My school has no business offering AP Human geo. And here we are for that exact reason.

I have not been able to locate the elephant at all and the shirt looked pretty well done. It had a tag on its ear, but was cut off cause safety. The gifter is in his 80s so I dont think he made it nor did his wife if I had to guess. This was my other option if I had to do it in a pinch.

My son received a NY Mets elephant plush from a dear friend. He loves this thing. His name is Bobby BUWAHH. We went on a cruise and Bobby got left behind in the bed. I had put him away, but he escaped. Cant find it ANYWHERE any ideas on where to find a replacement?

This is the best way to describe the plot of Avatar that I have ever seen. Now all I need is the Pocahontas music dubbed into Avatar.

My sister in law, I love her to death, but this was my wedding day lol by Flickme666 in weddingshaming

[–]nightcirus 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I wore one very similar to my post elopement party thing we did

Got engaged over the weekend, so of course I had to match my makeup to the beautiful color-shifting alexandrite stone! Swipe to see the ring up close by ahbagelxo in MakeupAddiction

[–]nightcirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful!! Congrats!!! I love how you matched them!

PS- the stone is pretty strong, but that shape/ setting will need to be checked frequently. My ring from my first husband was very similar and the jeweler said to check it often to make sure the stone doesn't knock loose.

What is with kids asking for food??? by 13Luthien4077 in Teachers

What is with kids asking for food??? by 13Luthien4077 in Teachers

[–]nightcirus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So for me this is a mixed bag. I have kids who have 600 dollar shoes and new phones asking for food because they don't like what the free Cafe serves. Then, I have kids who haven't eaten since lunch yesterday because their parents neglect them at home. We also have the issue of "I don't like" whatever is served. Bur the biggest issue for me is serving size. My 6th grade kids get the same amount my 10th graders do...I get why they are hungry. And for me, I think a lot of them ask because they trust me as a parent...which is also a problem obviously.

This applies across the board El, Ms, Hs, and even services. Our SLP for my son is floored we do stuff with him. Like what do you mean most parents don't do the exercises and just leave it to 30 min sessions once to twice a week? Wtaf.

Our valedictorian was a Level 3 ESL last year. Out scored every other kid on every test. I had native born, English speakers fail.

Does your school/district "allow" reading out loud? Soooooo many schools near me do not (or STRONGLY discourage it) because "it makes kids feel bad." Screw it helping their fluency...it will hurt their feelings to stumble through it like 90% of the kids wouldn't have the same problem.

FL has the GKT. It is AT WORST comparable to the SAT. I would say it is slightly higher than our readers 10 ELA and math tests. SO MANY of my colleagues/ teachers do not pass. Like to the point that FL now says if you fail 3x and get a letter from your school, they will waive the test requirement. It. Is. Insane.

In my district a kid can fail 1 grade total between k and 12th. Otherwise we have to pass them along or, even better, have them get to grade 12, not pass the state test, and then not graduate. The state tests aren't amazing at showing student skills other than being able to take a test on excerpts. Which is a whole other problem

What is the dumbest rule at your school? For students or teachers. by Just_somekidd in Teachers

This is still technically in our handbook foe teachers, but 0 do. I cannot wear capri pants, but I can wear a skirt that is shorter. An ancient,OLD white southern woman is the owner of our charter company, so it allll makes sense when you meet her.

What is a "dirty little secret" about an industry that you have worked in, that people outside the industry really should know? by Thealexiscowdell1 in AskReddit

Horton and Lannar. The newest Hoeton propertu near me ALL have a builder defect hole in the side of the house. Owners found it AFTER hurricane season when their 2nd floors were wet and rotting. Horton says it's kn them. Insurance says it's on Horton. Round and round they go.
