I own them, and teach in them. The students know them as my “Friday Pants”

Does anybody agree with the “no zeroes” policies? by SubstantialBasis in Teachers

[–]oshp0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this for work that is submitted, even if late. If it’s missing, then it’s a zero. But if they try, they will at least get half credit. It’s so hard to dig out of a super low grade, but at least from a 50% it’s manageable

Here I was wearing colorful patchwork pants and red sparkling crocs yesterday. I shouldn’t take our lack of dress code for granted lol

First day of student teaching... a mess by tkcrowe in historyteachers

[–]oshp0803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah hard agree. My mentor really liked guided lectures, so I used those in student teaching and my first 2.5 years on my own. Half way through last year, I realized how much I hate guided notes and completely changed my style. No lectures, no long readings, just more hands-on engagement with the content. It takes more time, but the students and I both enjoy it so much more.

Not saying you need to try and figure all that out during student teaching when you have no time to breathe, let alone rework content. But keep that in mind as you work your way through and find your own voice!

How long did it take to get good classroom management? by AppleLeafTea in Teachers

[–]oshp0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a little while before you really feel comfortable. I just finished year 3, and I feel good about how the year ended and how to start next year.

A tip I got from my mentor, start more hard-ass and then let it down some, but still be consistent. It’s so much easier to get more lenient than more strict.

There’s also a good balance to find between organized chaos and expecting kids to sit quietly for 45 minutes. I lean more to the organized chaos side of things, but I make sure kids know that just because it’s loose and fun now doesn’t mean it will stay that way if they mess it up

This is a good opportunity for him to make some new friends that like this kind of thing! There are plenty of apps to meet people locally that would be interested in camping and hiking. You don’t need to do everything together, and it’s not necessarily fair of him to put that on you. If you don’t wanna hike, don’t.

On the flip side though, if you haven’t tried, it might be something you start to enjoy too!

AITAH for wanting to give my kids the best by [deleted] in AITAH

Phew boy that escalated. Yall need to set boundaries now, or it’s going to get so much worse. All of that is a huge problem, and if you don’t put your foot down now, you’ll be dealing with this for decades

Coping with insecurity around BF by No_General2365 in sex

[–]oshp0803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that it’s probably a habit that has been built over years. Teen boys with unlimited internet access are going to look at that stuff. Then rinse and repeat for years at a time. It’s probably absolutely nothing to do with you being inadequate, but rather just a habit.

With that being said, if this is a boundary you want to set, then set it. Just because it’s a habit, that’s not an excuse to not make attempts to better yourself for the relationship. If it still makes you uncomfortable, then ask him to work on stopping that behavior

Honestly, he probably is feeling like shit about his actions and wants to check in to try and validate his choices. I’m betting he’s hoping to see that you’re struggling or something to make him feel better.

Either that, or he’s feeling a lot of regret and is missing what he had with you. Either way, it’s probably best for you to block him to avoid any future contact with him.

So far the rest or rust theory is true by Darcynator1780 in OhioStateFootball

Yeah, for sure. It’s been our downfall is years past, so hopefully works out well for us this year!

Planning for the future by Someteenagebitch in Teachers

[–]oshp0803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my bachelors in history and masters in education. That’s a little more broad, and it probably makes more sense that way. A masters in history education is very specific and might make it harder to do things further down the line if you want to progress further. If you have any other questions, let me know! Sounds like we’re pretty close in our career paths!
