@ESL_fairy I did in Grade 9, also in Grade 10. It's a skill I still use today, and I'm nearly 60.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc Yes. I was betrayed quite suddenly one day three years ago. It was as if he turned into another person. I went through weeks of shock as you described, while I watched him pack up. He said I enjoyed being mopey.

@howie_hua I thought 32 x 10 is 320. 5 is half of 10 so half of 320 is 160. 320 + 160 = 480.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc Do you need to have a fairy tale relationship? I’d chased that dream and settled, twice, feeling secure yet disappointed. I’m over it.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@howie_hua There are 12 30s in 360 (12x30=360). There are two 15s in each 30. So 2 x 12 = 24.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@MikeJToronto It was already there. If I'm not mistaken, it was in the presentation section of the writing expectations.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@howie_hua The difference between 24 and 35 is 11. 124 - 24 - 11 = 89.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@howie_hua Circuitous... but if 20 cookies is $36, then 10 cookies will be $18 (36/2). That makes each cookie $1.80 (18/10). Six times $1 = $6. 6 x $0.80 is $4.80 (using 6x8=48). $6 + $4.80 = $10.80

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc I was just thinking about being invisible... and deferring to others in relationships. As one of six, the others acted out, or were lost themselves. I appeared to be good, so I was targeted by jealous siblings.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@thesandrashamas This should be shared widely.

[Sandra Ann Shamas @shamas.bsky.social @thesandrashamas]

Brilliant!

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc 2 Questions: do you write the same four sentences every day for 30 days?
I don’t think people are mad. I think they don’t like me or won’t like me once they know me. Is this hyper vigilance?

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc My hypervigilance is still with me. But at least now I recognize when it's impacting my thoughts.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@MrsHipgrave @CBCKidsNews @HighlandHtsPS Nice work, Mrs Hipgrave!

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@lisadamps @ESL_fairy Just sit in a circle and talk about your feelings. This worried me. Were we doing triage for mental health services? Very uncomfortable with the potential consequences...

@ThatEricAlper The Matrix

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc Getting lost in the other person's life. It's as though I don't think my world is 'good enough'.

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@StephanieSartor @LimestoneDSB @LordStrath_LDSB This is the ESL team? Dream come true! Great to see so many former colleagues working to improve the lives of our additional language learners! Bravo, all!

[Ms Kirk @kirkcESL]

@Theholisticpsyc Just wondering about us introverts. Sometimes it seems like I'm supposed to embrace extroversion in order to heal. Can you address this?
