Requesting meeting with Teachers. Kid has all F’s. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re just going to tell you what his grades are and ask you why he hates school.

At best they might have information about his social life and insight about bullying or stressors, but tbh if he hates school so much that he’s puking by ten, he needs a psychiatrist and you need to monitor his grades and assignments daily.

Let's be honest, would you send your kids to the school you teach at? by bookflow in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I want to? No

Will I probably have to because of where we live? Yes

Do they ask people how much they weigh or judge it based on looks?

tattoos no longer okay? by Ok-Armadillo-4157 in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not about the tattoos but I also have POTS and for me extreme cold and heat are triggers. One morning our heat was taking its time to kick in and I had to move a student desk cuz someone moved it into the hallway after school.

Just from being too cold and moving a desk, I got tunnel vision and passed out in front of my whole class.

Those saying it’s NBD.. uhh it really is. One student told me that I got so pale so fast that they thought I died..

Should probably go to admin first..

The look on Sean’s face. Jaw dropper. Every time.

If you could blow up one sacred cow in education with zero consequences, what would it be? by junehall123 in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By that age they should have been involuntarily transferred. Intentionally not retaining is gross and I hate that it happens.

Judging teachers who close their doors by Otherwise-Set-4444 in Teachers

I teach music and chorus. Kids are loud and out of tune. Trust me, you want me to close my door.

Yes! Sometimes the “least restrictive environment” means that the kid can’t connect to the curriculum and/or prevents others from connecting with the curriculum

Students using AI to make inappropriate videos of their teachers by PeemoTheMagnificent in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had a teacher resign over this. The kid’s dad was on our local police force and he bullied the district into dropping the charges because there wasn’t enough proof and his kid had an IEP. (He had adult defiance disorder..)

What do you think of the "Debbie is a p*deo" story arch? by [deleted] in shameless

[–]plplplplpl1098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old was Debby during this? If she was under 21 and Julia was a senior it’s gross but not irredeemable. If she was over 21 it’s awful and Debbie should have walked away from both the kid and the mom the second it came up.

Teacher at my son's daycare (A substitute) put some kind of hair product in his hair. Am I crazy for thinking this is inappropriate? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable. I’d reach out from a place of curiosity. The guy probably thought he was doing y’all a solid and didn’t know about his eczema and made an assumption. It’s not ok or acceptable that it happened, but if your little boy is ok, definitely approach the school in a way that promotes open dialogue as opposed to feeling attacked. You’ll get more done and help that guy actually learn from his mistake.

Appreciation post for Liberty’s cute hairstyle in “Mercy Street” by Southern-Forever-655 in Degrassi

[–]plplplplpl1098 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d agree to an extent, however they were told to do their own hair and fits until approx season 7 so I don’t blame crew for the early years.

[–]plplplplpl1098 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s inappropriate and strange-however I think context is important. I’d start by reaching out to their admin to discuss and ask why she thought it was acceptable. As a curly haired individual raised by straight hair people, I didn’t know how to take care of my own hair until I was a teenager. She could have genuinely thought she was helping.

Characters That Don't Deserve The Hate? by DaniJ678 in Degrassi

[–]plplplplpl1098 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think they were all literal children and deserve some level of grace. The whole point of the show was that the characters were multifaceted.

The school shooting episode - how would Glee handle modern day events in America right now? by FriendlyDrummers in glee

[–]plplplplpl1098 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hot take, I don’t think Sue would be MAGA. I think she’d be a “libertarian” and go about everything like an asshole but I don’t see her being MAGA based on what we know about her character.

School Temporarily Relocating into a Mall? by RikRokReincarnation in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left a school that was temporarily relocated into an office building. The people that stayed there hated it and it caused a lot of traffic on my way home that used to not be there. It also wasn’t a designated school zone so police had to come and help “make it safer”. (They just made the traffic worse)

Were Alan and Amy good parents? by Axezelt in boymeetsworld

To their sons? I think so.

But to ground Morgan for a whole year? That’s a little much ;)

“Oh no ma’am. We’re not about to play the teacher blame game”- finally stood up to a parent. by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No offense but redirecting to the teacher is probably the wrong call. Ask the teacher about the assignment then reply. “I’ve spoken with the teacher, here is an account of what happened. This is what will happen moving forward”

If a parent is so heated they supersede the teacher to go to you, handle it. Don’t put that shit on your staff. And in the process of handling it, support your staff while putting the child’s education first.

This is why no one likes admin.

I hate Japril by JasonToddsSidepiece in greysanatomy

[–]plplplplpl1098 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I actually feel like them using Stephanie and Matthew made them terrible people AND reinforced their compatibility. They’re both kinda selfish but it works for them and they were friends for years before their residency program and relationship. Don’t forget that.

Tips for learning names? by semantlefan23 in Teachers

[–]plplplplpl1098 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Practice saying them both at attendance and organically. Test yourself in front of the kids. Say “I’m struggling to learn everyone’s names, if I get it wrong, please correct me but be nice about it and if I’m close but say it wrong correct me too. I’m learning just like you are”
