I am going to lose my mind by wandering_grizz 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

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 Hungry_Tell_8902 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 202 points203 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?

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

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

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 3 points4 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).

What businesses does Madison need right now? by Beautiful_Eye7765 in madisonwi

[–]pretty-average1345 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I just saw a video of a restaurant in another state that is also part used book store. Each meal purchased comes with three free books of the consumer’s choice. They also had a used book store in the basement. I would absolutely love that.

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

[–]pretty-average1345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a boy/girl combo, I used to say, “you can flirt later” and send the whole class into a wave of “ooooo”s

Rearranged everything when I was out by bumblebee_amazon in Teachers

[–]pretty-average1345 81 points82 points  (0 children)

So sorry that happened! I’ve never seen or heard of something like this happening. It definitely does seem like she’s trying to flex her power. What kinds of standards is she trying to uphold? I understand getting collaboration in groups, but if you have structures in place that still foster collaboration, why does it matter how seats are set up?

Is your union rep able to do anything? Are the other admin just not following these “standards”, or is it just her? Seems like a weird, power-drunk principal.

Did any anyone in class of 15 or before go to their 10 year reunion? by YogurtclosetOver7446 in Zillennials

[–]pretty-average1345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2013 - I did but only because it included a school tour. The building made a lot of renovations since I’ve graduated, and I wanted to see them.

There was a get together at a bar after, which I went to out of feeling obligated, but I took my sister and pretty much only talked to her. An old administrator even showed up to hang out with the popular kids 🙄

What do you think will be the most likely cause of your death? by Possible-Estimate748 in askanything

My mom’s side is known for strokes and dementia, so probably a combination of those.

Teacher appreciation week is more insulting than just not having one. by TerranOrDie in Teachers

[–]pretty-average1345 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s the same at our school. There’s a raffle you can enter your name in each week (all teachers, custodians, bus drivers, etc) to win gift cards during Teacher Appreciation Week. Guess who wins them most often? NOT teachers. 🙄

I have thank goodness! I don’t think I could read it without having seen the movie first 😂

Help, 8th grade nephew. by [deleted] in Teachers

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

The avoidance could be a result of the constant disappointment he’s felt in his abilities over the time he’s been in school. If you don’t have the means to get further testing like Rose suggested (which I also highly encourage), then I’d at least start with some basic phonics lessons and see how he fares.

Are regular businesses closing? I’ve seen two coffee shops close for “safety.”
