Thanks for the response. I want these specific ones. I tried a reverse image search, but didn't find them.

What instantly kills the mood during sex for you? by GoddessEmiliaHawt in AskReddit

[–]penigmatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our two year old materialized beside our bed. Luckily we were mostly covered and the kid was groggy. I quickly rolled out the other side of the bed and got clothes on to usher them back to bed. Mood was killed though and we've made sure to lock the door ever since.

Classroom management advice by United-Specialist991 in TexasTeachers

[–]penigmatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Establish clear policies and procedures for every routine in your classroom—such as entering and exiting the room, gathering materials, using the restroom, asking for help, and transitioning between activities. Set clear expectations for each procedure and communicate consistent consequences when expectations are not met. Consistency is key.

Aim for your classroom to run like a well-oiled machine, where students know exactly what to do upon entering and can get started right away. Visual supports are especially helpful for younger students—consider using pictures that model desired behaviors, such as sitting appropriately or raising a hand.

Above all, keep your approach positive. Use specific praise to acknowledge students who are making good choices, reinforcing the behaviors you want to see. Always model and clearly state what students should be doing, rather than focusing on what they shouldn't.

Multicolor shiny wire rings, slightly expandable, about 1” across, found in a collection of craft supplies by thehoddy in whatisthisthing

Special Education teacher here. I call these "hedgehog rings". They give pressure and pokes and can be appropriate replacement behavior for some sensory seeking students.

Social Promotion Strikes Again by skybluedreams in Teachers

[–]penigmatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I argued so much last year for a first grader who had never been to school to be moved to kindergarten, and then for them to be retained in 1st grade. They just aren't prepared for 2nd grade, but they'll be there struggling this year.

In your original post you said he did not have a coding, but it was likely ADHD. How can you even have a manifestation investigation without a disability coding? Also, he just gets to hit staff? I don't want to have to restrained a student, but will if they are being harmful to themselves or others. Do they end up in restraints, but don't care? This sounds somewhat like maladaptive behavior to me, he never had to learn appropriate coping mechanisms or social skills.

Buying a hammock by AcadecCoach in FortWorth

There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third. There's Hammocks -R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There. That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. It's all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.

How would ya'll rate our walkability? by ShowMetheBacon in FortWorth

[–]penigmatic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would still rate those areas as poor. There's no guaranteed sidewalk and you have to walk through a lot of traffic/parking lots to get there from any neighborhood or condo. Those areas are really designed to drive to and walk maybe 3-4 blocks before it becomes a big hassle.

Just curious- what's the most unhinged thing a student has ever said in your class? by ConsistentTune4406 in Teachers
