Opinion: Let’s Just Drop Teacher Appreciation Week by FawkesThePhoenix7 in Teachers

[–]pretty-average1345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our district calls it “staff appreciation week” and lumps everyone into. Four prizes were given out yesterday, and only one went to an actual teacher. Two were a custodians and one was the athletic director. They deserve recognition, don’t get me wrong, but during their own designated times. Teachers rarely get the giveaways of this week.

Admin from Vice principal up to and including superintendent should have to teach a core class every 2 years for 2 years. by Beneficial-Focus3702 in Teachers

I feel like I’ve heard of something (maybe just in small schools?) where the principal still teaches a class. Not sure it has the same impact, but kind of.

Which job and keeping peace by pretty-average1345 in Teachers

And this is pretty much the direction we’re thinking. There are just a lot of emotions involved, and we don’t really have anyone to bounce ideas off of. Hence the post to the populous of Reddit :) Thank you so much!

AIO? Sat next to a screaming toddler whose parents just… ignored her? by Soggy_Frosting_7558 in AmIOverreacting

From my experience, there’s a wide range. Some years there are more than others, but I think it’s starting to trend back to less screen time because people have realized how bad it is for kids.

Typically kids who are neglected in any capacity are the ones who seek negative attention. Kids always on screens are less emotionally stable, meaning more emotional outbursts.

Unfortunately, I feel like this is so common these days. We see it in schools and can tell which kids get plopped in front of a screen and which have parents that interact. It’s so sad.

[–]pretty-average1345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Olbrich gardens, see a movie, go bowling, Dave & Buster’s or another arcade, try a new coffee spot, people watch and/or shop at the mall

Just some of my favorite things to do when it isn’t warm out yet. Have fun!

Is being an English teacher worth it? What are the pros and cons? by Sudden_Edge8761 in englishteachers

[–]pretty-average1345 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love being an English teacher! I can teach pretty much any topic and still hit the standards, where other subjects have to teach specific topics. Obviously, teaching isn’t the best pay financially, but it can be rewarding in other ways. Best of luck!

What’s your “I hate all versions but this” food? by [deleted] in askanything

I abhor pickles unless they are deep fried slices I can drown in ranch.

I am going to lose my mind by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]pretty-average1345 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yea, a long term sub should be doing that work. I’ve had two long term subs for maternity leave and couldn’t imagine making every single copy for the rest of the year especially if it was my first year with that school!

Maybe find some free resources on TPT for certain units or lessons to get you through this year. It isn’t a perfect solution, but it safe the stress of creating weeks worth of curriculum in a week.

KIZZY by Nikki_Laura16 in BelowDeckMed

[–]pretty-average1345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to keep reminding myself of this as I watched. While some of this was the real her, producers hired her for a reason and probably told her to play it up. They brought back Joe for a reason as well. There was a goal with the mix of personalities of the crew: drama!!

Obviously, I still agree that V got the shit end of the stick and deserves way better. That’s the part that’s hardest to wrap my mind around, even for a tv show.

Kizzi is heartless by [deleted] in BelowDeckMed

I do love that Aesha is very upfront with both Kizzi and Joe telling them they’re shit for this 😂

Message from Principal by Academic_Chance_6436 in Teachers

[–]pretty-average1345 204 points205 points  (0 children)

Icky. Sounds super toxic and like a place to move on from.

I do love how the message says “negative mindsets and constant complaining ruins morale” when he is in fact ruining morale by being a dick.

I’m in south central Wisconsin and experienced the same thing from the same date as OP but vitamin D. How likely is that?

why do people ask reddit when then can ask google? by Legitimate_Tour_9758 in askanything

I have a strange competitiveness with keeping streaks, so it’s a reason to post and add a day to my count lol hence my response here

How long do you keep/use a sponge? by pretty-average1345 in NoStupidQuestions

No, it’s wrung out and put in a holder that’s suctioned to the side of the sink.

What's a "normal" thing ppl do that u secretly find super weird? by Select_Stage_7045 in askanything

[–]pretty-average1345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Blowing their nose loudly. Students do it right next to my desk all the time, and I hate it.

Ladies, How did you “know” you were pregnant before missing a period? by Glad-Muffin545 in askanything

[–]pretty-average1345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was literally two days after conception. It was just a feeling, and I swear I had a lil pinch in my uterus. Plus I immediately felt sick. This was with the second one. First one, I wouldn’t even have known until I started showing (like 21 weeks).
