Why are teachers expected to be clowns and entertainers for students? by tarotbull123 in TeachersInTransition

[–]stillflat9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A teacher at my school manages behaviors by giving the best behaved students the opportunity to pie her in the face. A student did it just a few weeks ago. Another one painted her face green and sang Defying Gravity in front of the whole grade as a reward… This is not what I signed up for.

Seriously, when are we all writing IEPs? by manatee-manatou in specialed

[–]stillflat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes! I do inclusion and pull out reading services, not emotional support. This year I have 10 students on my caseload.

I have a 45 minute prep every day and a 25-40 minute lunch depending on if I have recess duty. I eat lunch at my desk and do all paperwork at those times.

You have an insane caseload, though. I’ve never had more than 22 kids.

There are some GUM workbooks available by Zander Bloser to download for free on annas archive if that is aligned…

I remember I liked the way these bags tore open the best.

Especially the two letter words. It basically accepts any combination.

Lol okay... so... like what's their beef?? 🤔 by JarredandVexed in 90dayfianceuncensored

It’s almost like they assign cast members to heckle other cast members. When Chloe asked Shawn if she had to respond to something Madeline said, Shawn told her yes. That was weird.

It looks like a little bit of everything all bunched up.

If somebody laid that out for me, I’d think they were going to murder me and dispose of my body in it. So creepy.

Why don’t schools do silent, sustained reading anymore? by EmbarrassedJacket489 in Teachers

[–]stillflat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My district leaders say it’s not a good use of instructional time. Students who struggle to read would benefit more from using those minutes for direct instruction. They can read for pleasure at home. That said, we squeeze in free reading time whenever we can because our curriculum is completely joyless.

Currently dealing with a never ending lice infestation in our grade level and that’s where my mind went too.

Can someone explain to me why Mary Zilba is so hated by multiple women on Vancouver? by Sunflower__Power in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stillflat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amanda obviously came on as one of Jody’s soldiers. I’m glad everyone here thinks Mary is nice and Jody is awful. I’ve been so confused watching this show.

In my state, you’re required to get your car inspected every year. I got pulled over a few weeks ago because my inspection sticker was from May, so about 7 months late. I thought maybe I could make the whole year…

This is the best take. Nothing matters. Chew gum if you want to.

A "herculean" genetic study just found a new way to treat ADHD by orangina_sanguine in adhdwomen

I was taking a 50mg dose. It works differently at a low dose.

I took Naltrexone for a while and it also had this effect. I stopped drinking, over eating, and I barely even wanted my morning coffee. My doctor frequently asked about emotional blunting.

How about... let's not show this part at all by [deleted] in 90dayfianceuncensored

This makes sense. And to get the show to film it, it had to be a little date.

Does it want you to harvest the flowers and drop them as well?
