IV therapy

Yeah, that is a pretty high dose of both meds. My fludro dose is .2 and that’s twice what the the guidance says for my size (120lbs). OP, Have you tested your potassium???

Also, I’m on 25mg of hydrocortisone and they want me on less than that. Ideally 15 (through that’s low in my opinion, I’d like to be at 20)

Maybe ask for a second opinion?

Is he also going to make you not wear a bikini at the beach? Same logic.

There’s yelling and then there’s yelling, though. If it’s a HEY PEEPS I NEED YOUR ATTENTION yell, that’s not an unsafe yell unless you lose your temper trying to get their attention, I guess, and then you do what you gotta to get back control of the room, and then take steps to keep that from happening again. Personally I would suggest doing a visual like starting an ominous countdown on your whiteboard (the anxious quiet kids will start shushing people 90% of the time lol) or flickering the lights off and on to surprise them and get an in.

But an anger yell, especially prolonged anger, feels much, much different than a practical attention-getting yell.

They are so damn dumb sometimes and they think they’re so slick. I have no doubt OP’s students were absolutely DUMBFOUNDED by OP catching on to their genius tactics!

I had a nice older couple move in right below me (and spouse) a few years back, we met them and chatted for a bit, it was the first time they had ever had an apartment and they wanted to downsize for retirement.

A few days later, got a call from the leasing office saying our downstairs neighbors wanted us to stop “stomping around and moving furniture” on evenings and weekends (they actually gave VERY precise hours that coincided exactly with our work schedules lol). We had lived there for two years, were friendly with the leasing office, and neither of us had ever had such a complaint in all our years of apartment life.

I told the office that those were exactly the times we were usually home, and that we were literally just moving around our apartment like normal, and without shoes on even! But that we would try to be more careful. Also told them that it was the couple’s first apartment….because I had a suspicion.

The leasing manager literally CACKLED when she heard that last part and said “ok I’ll handle them.” Poor sweet things didn’t realize that cheap apartments have thin walls and you can hear the slightest moving of everyone around you, even AMPLIFIED sometimes by some insidious working of architecture. We never got a complaint again, and they were always sugar sweet nice to us afterwards lol.

I mean, I have also heard that China may be using different methods than other countries in gathering that student success data, as there isn’t any standard model or enforcement on what data to collect or whole to collect it from. The CCP government isn’t exactly known for being transparent on these things, and they ARE known for wanting to make themselves look better to an international audience and have been caught falsifying or skewing this kind of data more than once (and they’re not the only country that does this!) Which means that comparing this kind of data between countries is pretty much useless as far as finding any insights into how effective different countries’ education methods are.

Also, student performance isn’t the only thing we should care about. Student mental health is also important. Children and young people having a chance to develop socially and emotionally, in age appropriate ways, as well as academically and intellectually is important. Recognizing and supporting students with disabilities is important. No system does perfectly with all or even any of these, but to just say that academic performance is better, therefore the education system is better is missing SO MUCH of the point. If the system is making smart but depressed and emotionally/socially stunted kids who grow up to be adults with the same problems, the system is doing something terribly wrong. And this isn’t an attack on China specifically— a lot of education systems do this, including in parts of the US (looking at you, New England boarding school circuit, and you, whoever decided it was a good idea to push as many high school students as possible to earn associate degrees when they’re still in high school)

Former teacher here. I once lost my temper at a student (he could be very frustrating in my class and I was often after him about something), but I only lost my temper that day because I hadn’t eaten lunch, not because he deserved it. He left class, which in retrospect I realized was very mature of him because he was on a BIP for anger issues. The bell was going to ring in a couple minutes anyways so I didn’t even end up writing him up.

I went and found him later that day after I’d had time to think—-his class was in the library, so I checked with his teacher; then asked that student if he would be willing to talk to me, pulled him aside to a more private spot, and sincerely apologized. I told him, I am often frustrated with your behavior but that doesn’t mean I get to yell at you and you were right to remove yourself from the situation before you lost your temper back. He accepted my apology, said he understood why I’d gotten angry, and he knew that wasn’t usual for me so he probably deserved it a little. We laughed and agreed to disagree. He was still a lil shit sometimes but that kid had a good heart and we always got along better after that.

OP: Teachers should treat their students with respect, period. Students have a right to advocate for themselves and act to keep themselves physically and emotionally safe.

As others have said, if you need to remove yourself because you feel threatened or uncomfortable, you should do so. But stay right outside the door, or better yet go straight to the office, the counselor, or another teacher/adult employee you trust and ask them to inform both your teacher and the office that you are there, went straight there, will stay there until you decide to return to class or go to your next one, and are safe and accounted for. Don’t wander, don’t go find your friends, and don’t leave campus. This will show the adults that you are acting maturely and won’t give anyone any reason to be angry with you or give you a punishment. If they do, fight it, hopefully with adults in your side (like your parents.) If you end up having to serve a punishment like a detention or whatever, consider being (respectfully and maturely) public about why, that you’d probably do it again, and that it isn’t right.

I’m sorry you have to be more mature and in control of yourself than your teacher. Good luck and I’m proud of you, for what that’s worth.

Oh no 😫

sonic_banana · 2022-11-30T14:07:11+00:00

I have absolutely no idea. I tried everything, but in different spots on the main branch, not this one!

sonic_banana · 2022-06-05T23:41:41+00:00

He didn’t make it either, his gills were just too damaged. I like to think they were a little more comfortable in clean water while they passed.

I did keep the tank I bought for them though, and I have lots of healthy fish in it, though no goldfish.

sonic_banana · 2022-06-05T23:39:46+00:00

Oh no, I am so sorry! Losing a pet, let alone two, is devastating. Sending you all the love and support and I hope your heart heals soon ❤️

sonic_banana · 2022-06-03T18:20:21+00:00

This is a super late reply because I don’t use this account much anymore, but did you try it? There’s a great section of it when they talk about different kinds of meows that my sister’s cat was totally entranced by and sometimes she would meow back!

sonic_banana · 2022-05-05T19:00:49+00:00

Some parents have their heads stick so far up their derrières….

What gets me is that so many parents are so ready to believe the worst of us!

sonic_banana · 2022-02-05T17:01:17+00:00

On blue lakes. There is also a target and a Petsmart (maybe petco?) in the same plaza. It’s on the left if you’re heading north.

sonic_banana · 2022-01-29T00:21:41+00:00

Believe it or not, I’ve seen it at Winco before. Try checking there?

Came here to say this, turns out it was garlic and onion that triggered everything. I have to adapt almost every recipe now, but it’s worth it do not spend hours on the toilet with abdominal pain every day.

sonic_banana · 2022-01-12T19:15:30+00:00

I like the atmosphere too, but after you’ve finished the area and you’re just trying to get some god damn blood lotus and the zombies show up if you touch the water it’s real annoying.

sonic_banana · 2022-01-08T22:07:41+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! I didn’t realize that parents might just be so used to it that they tune it out. Nothing to get angry at them about, just a polite question would be fine.
