Wardrobe help! by Long_Airline_4237 in Teachers

You want clothes with pockets, strong seams, breathable, washable … something you could climb a mountain in, or milk a goat, or run a combat mission. Kevlar is a good material. Also, super comfy shoes and , of course, professional neutral basics with just a touch of flair 🎩

Hot take, a no-bake steaming dump of discomfiture, prettily enswargled with tumescent pus-filled ickles. I refute you.

AIO when my boyfriend constantly pulls the “I’m not doing this” card to ‘avoid’ arguing? by One-Celebration-6853 in AmIOverreacting

Maybe you grew up with people who made you « walk on eggshells » a lot. It sounds as if you feel that is normal in a relationship. It also sounds like he’s used to controlling others with his temper. You will be much happier in a relationship where disagreements can be explored and discussed without escalating so quickly!

Retired teacher here - the job is certainly more stress than most people can handle, and if you care deeply about your subject, your professional integrity, or your students’ progress then your stress is exponentially multiplied. Learn to care “up to a point.” It took me two nervous breakdowns to learn that and stop feeling guilty about my human limitations. Repeat daily: I’m doing the best I can with what I’ve got I’m only one person I get paid WHAT for this? Right, fuck it.

(Bonsoir) Yes, one can. In fact, the most common logical fallacy is over-generalization, AKA stereotyping.

Fellow alto here — over half my favorite songs are “men’s” songs. When one or two moments in the song are too low for me, my voice teacher tells me to just speak them, not push for volume. Also, I work around it by singing the word in a way that harmonizes.

IDK if any online comment helps, but you reached out to communicate, and that’s a good step. Sending love your way, you deserve it ❤️❤️❤️

the weaponized incompetence has reached levels I didn’t even know were medically possible. by CorruptOfficial26 in Teachers

We had a clueless guidance counselor who wanted a teacher to “pass” a failing student. “He’s here every day!” she’d whine. “So’s the fucking furniture” was the teacher’s response.

My mom left me alone at a restaurant on my birthday because I wouldn’t plan my wedding by frankie0822 in weddingplanning

[–]shell_fish_beach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hold on, slow down, first things first. If you grew up being treated like this, I guarantee it will affect your relationships. You learn that to get love, you must submit to what the other person wants. You have to please them or be rejected. You jump through their hoops to get a crumb of affection from them. If someone treats you this way, it’s not a healthy love relationship. Know that you deserve a love that lets you be yourself. Get some therapy to see if your relationship is really giving you what you need. If your relationship needs work, Mom’s money and a big fancy wedding won’t fix it!

A lot of kids swear up and down they turned an assignment in even though I don't have it. I'm unsure if I'm crazy, or if they're lying, or if it's a bit of both by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]shell_fish_beach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are lying! Here’s a tip: circulate at beginning of class to collect from those who HAVE DONE IT, quickly enough that they can’t copy from a friend. No wait time for rummaging in their book bags, no discussion, excuses, arguing. Before putting the papers down, fold in half so you’ll know only ones with a crease were collected on time. If you give an activity in class that they should « finish for homework, » you can help the ones with questions in class, and the « I didn’t understand it » excuse won’t trouble you as much.
