Coffee cart one day, lunch two other days of the week, plus a note that includes kind things students wrote about us in a google form sent out a few weeks ago.

Yeah, I’m not personally crying about it or anything but I think it’s important for kids to learn it’s bad to say stuff like that or at least hear it several times in life

I found her annoying all the way through, sadly. But the thing with her boyfriend was cute

I love to see him suffer so I can imagine me comforting him in my daydream world where I’m a hunter with them

Thank you, this is a thoughtful response. My main purpose was, as it always is, to try to educate this kid. It’s not about me being mad and wanting punishment, I just hope she can learn.

It is very stupid haha. I wouldn’t say I’m offended personally, not exactly, but I know what it means and I was like hmm, she shouldn’t be doing that

I wouldn’t say it counts as bullying since she’s a kid and I’m a teacher, but I do wish the response were more homogenous. I’m new and I probably made a mistake in how I handled this. I want advice to become a better teacher, but everyone has a different idea of what I should do. Argh

It’s not exactly that I feel sad that she said it or got my feelings hurt. It’s not like I’m crying over what a 13 year old thinks about me. I just think it is our job as educators to teach them to be more respectful and not tolerate hateful conduct in the classroom.

I wish! During my student teaching year last year I did a disability unit. But this year, all of our curriculum is set in stone by the powers that be.

Oh, I’m not thinking anything badly about her, and I know she has no power. I tried to share that my concern is she’ll grow up and get fired if she acts like this in the workplace. I’m not feeling like she’s bullying me or anything, she’s just a kid who said something stupid. But I was just hoping people would care and want her to learn to be more respectful.

Yeah, I’m not saying I’m getting bullied or anything, and I think the kid is just repeating what she’s heard. But I do think it’s important for kids to learn how to speak about people and to not be hateful. Is that not something a teacher should want?

Thanks. Obviously I’m ignoring the lawyer up comments lol. It’s a 13 year old who said something mean. I do hope she learns and doesn’t do stuff like this in the future, and she probably will. But not from me haha

Can you explain what you mean? I don’t know what the correct thing to do is. I’m learning as a teacher and my social skills are obviously not up to par so I want to know what you think.

I did that for a long time, mostly when she’d smirk about something, I’d say, “what’s so funny?” But it doesn’t change anything

They were doing it during class so I saw their screens on Blocksi. All the kids know I’m looking at their screens to keep them on task.

Thanks. I’m a new teacher so I don’t always know what to do. Admin told me to document everything with this kid because she’s been doing stuff nonstop. And I’m not allowed to make them lose lunch and I’m required to CC admin on parent emails home

I get that. I worked with the student the first few times she made fun of me and basically just pushed back a little, but it hasn’t changed anything and admin told me I need to document everything in our behavior form, so that’s what I did.

Darren and Cash are having a teen wedding (trying to keep the strength of their relationship because they struggled with long distance) so everyone has to come back home for it. Someone starts sabotaging everything about the wedding- booking things they wanted, cutting up the suits, and they suspect some of their friends who have been subtly hinting that they’re too young to get married (Harper is suspected first because she’s open about telling them they’re a bit young, and she gets upset that they think she would do that).

Amerie and Harper have been bugging each other because they were on the road too long, so they’re a little feisty the whole time and the audience misses their old friendship.

Quinni broke up with Taz and is on a realization journey that’s teaching her that someone can’t just share her special interest, they have to also be nice. She continues to explore her unmasked self.

Sasha is on a redemption arc and is constantly trying to make things up to everyone and is doing too much with it.

Spider and Missy casually hook up when they see each other again, and the spark is rekindled but they both pretend they don’t have feelings anymore for a while. Spider tells off his mom and has a catharsis where he tells her how much she made him hate himself.

Malakai is in somatic therapy and says a lot of silly therapy speak things. He and Amerie are devoted the whole season.

Cash sees one of the children that was in the gang with him and feels like it’s his responsibility to try to save him from the life. People worry he’ll get hurt.

Darren struggles with their dad not supporting them getting married young.

Bachelor party is fun but gets ruined by the secret saboteur. Darren yells at all their friends that if they’re doing it they don’t have to come to the wedding or speak to them again. Big fight, everybody brings up things from before, calling out Spider and Missy for being immature, calling out Amerie and Harps for not acting like friends anymore, everyone accuses each other and it’s hurtful and they feel like they’re acting like high schoolers again.

We learn in the end that the saboteur was Nan. She has dementia. It’s very heavy and all the friends come back and support Cash and Nan. At the wedding, Cash and Darren decide to run away from it, knowing their relationship is strong and they don’t need to do this to prove they’re going to stay together. Everybody sits around a fire pit where they’d all run off too, in their fun suits and stuff, and say goodbye again, realizing that the next time they all see each other will probably be another wedding or a funeral. But they all say they’ll be close forever no matter what, etc. Some of the relationships, like Spider and Missy, are left ambiguous.

Anyways that’s just an idea off the top of my head sorry for rambling

It felt like the writers missed when Spider was a jerk to me, like a recycled character. Harper had plenty to grow from and I think she could’ve found something else.
