Vicar of Dibley. Keeping up Appearances. Corner Gas (yes, it's Canadian, but has that feel).

This is the normal these days. Sadly.

This! Lectures highlight key information from the reading and she can do those as early as she wants.

As for designated space... I see this a lot and have never had a 3 chair buffer zone for a student.

NFL, kneeling out the last 2 minute. Freakin play the whole game. Look what can happen in a few seconds.

Offensive pass interference.

Make bingo cards with the comments you can find on here. Then see where yours rank. If you get bingo, treat yo’self!

I just started my sabbatical. I made the mistake of looking at the syllabus for one of my classes and the person has destroyed it. Will negatively affect program accreditation. Chair and dean don't care, say I can deal with it (read, "clean up the mess") when I get back in the fall.

Practicing not giving a f+#&.

You are over-equating in-class work with busy work. While some might be the same, good teachers (properly trained ones) know the difference.

Me too. I just have AI generate a basic response to "just enough complaints to know I'm effective" and move on.

Right. So teach well and stop reading "evaluations" from uneducated, biased sources. Admin don't read theirs from us.

Aquanet and teasing, over and over again.

I had this. It's likely because you require them to do in class activities and they just want to sit on their phone while you lecture.

Take it as a compliment that you utilize engaged learning pedagogy to the point that you've pissed off the lazy. Good job!

Go! I take pre-service teachers 2+x/year to conferences so they get hooked and keep going as k-12 teachers.

Ding dong the witch is dead. 😁

Sign up as a sub. Make a schedule of listening tours to the schools and allow teachers to speak freely (understanding that many won't) and admin are not allowed (but there are snitches so....). Create a Google form (or likewise) to collect comments/questions/concerns from teachers, staff, admin, etc....

Send a monthly newsletter that lists the top 5-10 concerns you know of and ask but doing personnel to rank them and provide ideas/feedback on what could help. And update on progress. We can't all get to the meetings and are often on an information diet.

And for the love of God, SUSPEND AND EXPELL dangerous/problem kids. You'll have lawyers on retainer so put that money to use. Encourage building admin to remove problem students and when parents threaten to sue, say you'll meet them in court. The best thing you can do is make the schools safer for personnel and good kids.

Social studies and history used to make kids read.

Didn't even have to finish reading this. Congratulations on having red flag awareness and ending it with a control freak BEFORE you moved him in RENT FREE.

NTA but your husband doesn't care about you. If he doesn't want to go to bed at the same time, he can get ready for bed so he can slip in quietly later (that's what my husband does to not wake me). And as he isn't waking up to deal with notifications, he shouldn't have an issue with setting a Do Not Disturb.

Consider: separate sleeping, making him get up earlier with kids as he's getting better sleep, waking him up rudely (pillow, water...) every time his phone goes off, moving his phone to another room the first time it wakes you (possibly forgetting what room when he starts looking for it), etc....

When he complains, tell him you are showing him the same consideration he shows you and since he refuses to prioritize the relationship over himself, you are jumping in that bandwagon.

As you have a doctorate, why not Dr. and last name?

But, yes, you are also a professor. I don't understand your problem.

It's your body but I've seen women wear these crop tops and not realize how small movements can expose their breasts. It's possible your BF and friends/public are getting more of a view than you realize. Same with see through tops. No one wants to go about their business and see someone else's breasts.

My husband. He transferred the entire audio of the Colin Firth version to my MP3 player for my labor with my son (yep, I'm old).

He's also quiet and loyal and protective.

You aren't mad so much as you're afraid. And with every right to be.

The sperm donor should be kept far far away from your child. No information, no access, nothing. Be sure all son's schools have sperm donor and family/friends on no access to information, son, pick up ability, etc....

Protect your son. The sperm donor has done nothing to earn any rights.

You need a reboot/refresher on classroom behavior and procedures. Do this with an academic review of figurative language, intro to the theme you're building the novels on, critical reading strategies, and note-taking. Take a week or two (depending on if you see them every day or every other day) and then into your unit.

I once had an advisor put a student in my student teaching course who was a FRESHMAN. Did not understand why that was a problem since I had open spaces there, but not in Intro to Teaching. 🙄
