@AutisticCoach_@ashleyann_atx Having a routine for the day is key for us. We leave for school the exact same time, dinner at the same time, bedtime routine that doesn’t change and this provides consistency. I also tell my children exactly why I do or don’t want something. ‘I’m overwhelmed and need quiet’
Y8 are still struggling with compound area, especially with subtraction. Today I made them write a plan without numbers before they were allowed to do any calculations. It worked pretty well - I need to do this sort of thing more often.
My eldest child got into a small altercation with another kid after he called me a f****t. A friend explained the word and she shoved him down and yelled at him. I’m proud of her for standing up for me but sad she has to deal with that. The closet protects them more than me😞

Is there any like super rich people out there that want to buy a broke teacher a house? I am so tired of renting, I’ll never be able to afford a house and just wonder if there is someone out there in the world that would buy one for me. Sigh.
As an autistic person, a societal custom I don’t connect with is wanting to do cool things ‘just so I can say I’ve done them’. I only want to do fun things when and because they truly appeal to me. The conversational/storytelling value they may have isn’t a consideration for me.
@1825Todd @beanlump @starlightsky3@ErinInTheMorn I suspect you don’t want to explicitly say what you’re thinking. I also suspect you’re not great at reading because I mentioned earlier that I am in the closet at work. Which means I do not express verbally or with ‘flags’ that I am gay. I have subject related posters on walls.
@1825Todd @beanlump @starlightsky3@ErinInTheMorn I’d prefer not to say as then it gives away the subject I do teach and I am anonymous on here. But if you can give me an explicit example of what you’re thinking I can say yes or no.
@1825Todd @beanlump @starlightsky3@ErinInTheMorn Hmm can you give an example? Like a sports team? Or a college? I suppose those are pendants. I don’t have those either. It doesn’t align with the subject I teach
@1825Todd @beanlump @starlightsky3@ErinInTheMorn I don’t teach history or a foreign language so I’m confused about the question ? Why would I have other countries flags in my classroom?
