@Simply_Tessy Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, and save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen
@davidemartinjr@Clint4000@0riettaRose THANK YOU! Condescending ppl who have no idea what teaching is like & act like teachers play all day & take every other week off make me furious.
And By the way OP probably has 100+ students.
@Clint4000@0riettaRose Please…I invite you to go to your local middle/high school and just sit in the back of the room for a day, and then tell a teacher they don’t put in enough EFFORT. Oh, I forgot…the rest of you who aren’t teachers have “jobs.”
@Clint4000@0riettaRose And THEN document every contact. AND write referrals for behaviors, attend IEP meetings, do hall duty, track testing data, and proctor state tests. If 25 kids are failing b/cthey refuse to participate, when is the teacher supposed to contact every parent more than once? (2)
@Clint4000@0riettaRose I would like to see you manage planning, grading, classroom management, and testing for 160 students, on top of training, twice-a-month meetings, and deadline-driven admin requests. And then send emails and make phone calls to every parent whose child is failing. (1)
@gofishh77 WHY would anyone suggest hitting/smacking the child? What will it solve? In Sometimes little kiddos get into tantrum mode, and the only thing to be done is to just continue on as normal and let the tantrum play out. It’s not bad parenting.
It’s a young child being a child.
@mentze85196 Pros: Most people are very friendly & helpful. BEAUTIFUL sunsets, and lots of rainbows. Lovely weather Oct-May. We can watch rocket launches from our backyard. You can celebrate winter holidays outside. Lots of light parades at Christmas, too!
@mentze85196 Cons: If you like the change of seasons, you will miss it. School starts in August (but it ends in May). It gets miserably HOT from May to October. Everything is in Orlando (sucks if you live an hour away). There are wildfires in the spring.
@AuthorGFAllen And The Band Played On…made me feel helpless and angry at the same time.
and
A Thousand Splendid Suns…beautifully written but devastating.
@Simply_Tessy The rosary a very dear friend gave to me for my wedding, and my late sister’s Miraculous Medal (I think she got it for her Confirmation).
@Simply_Tessy Saint Florian is the patron saint of firefighters! Our family also likes St. Francis, St. Padre Pio, St. Anthony, St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Kateri Tekakwitha. And don’t forget to bury a statue of St. Joseph in your yard if you are selling your house!
