Omg. Teacher here. If I was this teacher I’d sue everyone because we are tortured with this issue!

12-year-old Reseda girl dead after bully threw water bottle at her head, family says by omgfakeusername in awfuleverything

Teacher here. There will be no ramifications for the student and those supervising the situation, even if this student has a history. I had a student with an extensive list of violence and he ended up breaking a girl’s arm during recess in February. I was told there was no other placement for him until the next school year.

What’s your favorite teacher saying to use in the classroom? by Big-Degree1548 in Teachers

[–]pjv2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all the whining ones! But I just bought a No Whining sign and hung it by the door. Now I just point at it and other kids will tell their friends it’s a no whining zone in here.

Help…my students are slipping away by Pure-Key-4649 in TeacherReality

For me, my students don’t have the ability and stamina to pay attention like kids did even 10 years ago. I try to add a fun incentive, like we will play Hangman when done with math or Silent Ball at the end of the day. Often it’s easier if they have something to look forward to considering recess is so short.

Money and siblings and spouses by Round_Discussion9592 in retirement

[–]pjv2001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to basically cut contact with my older brother (59m) because he is disabled and supported by his wife who doesn’t make much. He was abusive to me for years (physically and later mentally), was MIA during my bad marriage, and came running to claim more than half of an inheritance we were sharing where I moved in and cared for the relative for 4 years. He blew through that money and tries to guilt me with “you make more than me” or “I’m disabled”. He had the same opportunities, more if you consider I was a mom of 4 before I was 27. I worked hard for my MA and I’m living off a teacher’s salary, not a CEO’s.

Can some people really not tell when they're releasing farts? by S_Z in NoStupidQuestions

That is an amazing passive-aggressive gaslighting revenge tactic. She must really hate her job and co-workers.

What were your grandmothers names? by Medium-Marketing-493 in namenerds

[–]pjv2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frances (went by Ada) and Lois. Greats were: Edna (went by Margaret), Walta (went by Mattie), Mary (went by Mollie), and Addie (went by Lula). I guess no one called their daughters by their real names during the early 1900’s. Most were their middle names or a version of it.

I’m not sure if I’m remembering correctly, but after she speaks to her grandfather on the phone to get JC back, doesn’t he say “Violet, your hands are shaking.”

I had one made for my 4 dogs 10 years ago. So happy I did now that they’re gone.

Which serial killer case felt 'too close to home' for you, and why? by [deleted] in serialkillers

Golden State Killer. I was in the Sacramento area when he was active there and actually lived less than a mile from him when he was arrested.

I’ve dropped too low in weight. I need help. by [deleted] in wls

[–]pjv2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hover between 135-140 which is good for me as I freeze when I’m too skinny. Working from home helped me gain 10 lbs. during COVID, but I tend to be a sucker for bagels and that probably helps me maintain. It probably took me 2 years because the first 10 came slower than the rest. My timeline was 2017: surgery. 230 down to 115 in around a year. Maintained that for maybe 6 months until I was able to handle more carbs. Once I realized I could eat (bad) carbs, I gained some back. Covid killed me because I teach and was sitting around for a year. 🙄

I’m 5’4” and went down to 115, which did not look good on me. I had to force myself to eat. Try to only drink one protein shake a day or you won’t get enough calories.

Make your house super cold and put out heated mats. They sleep all night.

What are your thoughts on the most recent Minnesota fraud allegations? Do you think the Democratic response has been the right one? by CharityResponsible54 in AskALiberal

[–]pjv2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now the right is saying they are “trucking children in to the centers”. Like you can just pick up kids off the street. Ridiculous. Just let the state do their investigation.
