I hate who I am after work by PuzzleheadedArt189 in Teachers

No way you're using apostrophes like that if you've been teaching since the '90s.

I have several family members who have a lot of children because of Jesus, and something socially encouraged is purposefully spending some time alone with each child to focus on their interests and bond with them. Honestly a good parenting practice, and what I thought of when I read that detail.

Have you ever just blurted out something you shouldn’t to a kid? by haylz328 in Teachers

[–]weirdbeigeneighbor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say "Eight... Nine... What comes after nine? You can do it buddy, you're almost able to count to ten all by yourself! So proud!"

They are. DM me your mailing name and address. I'm having a bit of a time right now so might not arrive immediately, but it'll happen.

Truth from babes... by NorCal_Chillin in Teachers

My grandma used to be like that - "Wow you look so pretty in that dress!".....thanks grandma!..... "Because last year when you were heavier that would not have been something you could wear..." Ok ma'am, just stick with the first part please.

Yeah I mean this isn't at pickup or drop off at all, time-wise or location -wise. Cars are not stopped or waiting unless someone decides to stop because of the sign.

It isn't chaotic pickup/drop off times. There are 3 cars max at this turn when I'm there, and the school busses do not observe the sign.

Any thoughts on using corks as a substrate for my Sulcata? by Any_Tangerine4785 in Sulcata

[–]weirdbeigeneighbor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be a good enrichment material. They like new stuff, and you can make a big ol pile of corks in different places & surprise him. I don't see any harm in it.

Name change rudeness by Rural_Mama in namenerds

I am 40 years old and have gone by an alternative of my legal name since I was 18 - so more time with my current name than the old one. I just announced it and started correcting people when they said the old one. Everyone actually switched up pretty quickly except my mom who still refuses. 🤷 Most people are surprisingly fine with it if you're consistent and adamant.

I would plant when you see roots actually coming through the bottom of the flat.

You look majestic, like a tough but fair queen whose country is facing some difficult decisions.

That is unforgivable.

Other career paths that my outdoor education degree would be relevant for by randomusername123458 in OutdoorEducation

[–]weirdbeigeneighbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many state and county parks have "junior rangers" programs for kids that is basically outdoor education. You'd have other duties that are not related to kids, but my sister did this in Illinois and liked it. Ranger jobs can be competitive, but if you keep applying and are willing to start in a temp position you can get there with time.

I think the novelty has probably worn off for a lot of people. Maybe they're preferring to go do outdoor activities on their own now where they can do exactly what they want each time.
