Happens every single time.. by BroLo_El_Cunadoin AdviceAnimals

[–]HeyitistillKate 1 point2 points ago

Putting things together from scratch is why they make these mistakes. Consider how many students they have, how many preps, etc. No, teachers aren't perfect. Students forget this. A lot. Seriously, my students are shocked to see me out in public. They forget that I exist outside of school. Take into consideration how much time a teacher puts into their job. They get there before the students, stay later than the students, have coaching jobs, and families of their own, and they still have to take work home each night to grade and plan. Yes, it is the profession teachers decided to go into, but that doesn't make it too much better in the end. Mistakes happen. It is a part of learning. We see what we think we typed, just like anyone else, and it is not until later that we realize it...after we have made 50 copies. It would help if we had a proofreader besides ourselves, but tell me who is willing to do that? On my tests I sometimes make a mistake, but I own up to it and let the students know. I never count it against the students and I give them additional time if needed, even if it is on an individual basis after school if necessary. I also don't count off for certain errors because I take into consideration the amount of time and lack of editing that comes into play when testing. However, that said, I do expect my students to know when to use basic mechanics and how to spell vocabulary words.

TLDR: Teachers are human too, get over it.

Herb Scissors with 5 parallel blades. by instantincentivein pics

[–]HeyitistillKate 2 points3 points ago

Have these. Love them. It is not lazy, it is smart. It saves so much time when you are using tons of fresh herbs. I often spend a long time chopping herbs, this has cut my time in half and I can focus my time on actually cooking.

I've got Bell's Palsy. If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like. by aimslyin pics

[–]HeyitistillKate 0 points1 point ago

Very frustrating, in fact I would even go as far as to say it is the most frustrating thing I have experienced. I had it when I was 13. It is so discouraging knowing you know how to work your face, but you physically cannot, no matter how hard you try. I recovered after 3 months, but I still have some remnants of it 11 years later. I do not have complete control over my upper lip on the right side. I used to be able to do the Elvis lip curl and I am no longer able to. Also, my right eye is now lazier than my left. You notice it most in pictures or when I smile.

This reminds me of a reoccurring dream I have. I often dream of doing gymnastics on the uneven bars and all I can do is continue to flip around and around. I always try to make myself stop and I can't. No idea what it means, but it is the most frustrating dream ever.

in my class this is called TAPF (topic, audience, form, purpose). FAP is way more amusing.

I just started watching Firefly on Netflix this morning. Any other day and I would not have gotten this reference. Going on episode 7. Why did this show only last a season?

Regardless, the stone does exist. Though I suppose you can see anything however you want. That is the beauty of our imagination I suppose.

And whoa! There are tons of links to other subreddits.

Shit my students say: "Only God can judge!" by [deleted]in lgbt

[–]HeyitistillKate 1 point2 points ago

I should mention that these are all different students that I have mentioned. I hear comments like this every day. Also, my whole family was raised in this town. Luckily, I got out when I was 5. The students continue to shock me with the things they say. I find it hard to believe that my family came from this. You would never know if you met my parents. They taught tolerance. Real tolerance, not "oh but I have friends..." type tolerance. I am very grateful fro them. Sadly, most of my uncles and my grandparents (dad's side) fit right in this town.

[–]HeyitistillKate 3 points4 points ago

Oh it does. I wouldn't be working there except I need the job until my fiancee graduates and we can save up enough money to move out of the Bible belt. That is our main goal. It would kill my students to know my political and religious beliefs. I had a student ask me if I believed in Jesus. I asked him why it mattered and what difference it made. He told me that he would stop listening to me and respecting me if I didn't.

Funny thing is that I also had a student say something like this too. He then went on to tell us who his black friend was. His fellow classmates countered his argument by saying "he doesn't count, he is so white!"

I teach in a very small midwestern town. I cannot make this stuff up. Sad thing is...this particular student happens to be *my younger cousin. I was shocked. I cannot get over the amount of bigotry that comes out of my students. It pains me to teach there.

One of my students made a comment similar to this. She was talking about how creepy and weird and just plain wrong she found gay people. However, it is okay because she has a gay friend.

I am surprised they know who Nigel is, unless of course they are from Reddit or they have failed a few years.

Who else does this when they pee? by armyjacksonin fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]HeyitistillKate 0 points1 point ago

I am very concerned about your green pee. Not only is it green, but it appears to get darker the more you pee. This cannot be good. You may want to get this checked out. I am no doctor, but I do watch lots of doctor shows on TV and I fancy myself an expert. Please don't die.

Laser Hair Removal... who has done it? by kmb61288in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HeyitistillKate 0 points1 point ago

They have you fill out a form to determine which type of skin you have. My fiancee is undergoing LHR on her face. She has always had issues with her skin and it is working out just fine. In fact, she is almost done and she looks great! I recommend putting some kind of moisturizer on afterwards. Usually there are free consultations, try going to one to see what they recommend.

Laser Hair Removal... who has done it? by kmb61288in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HeyitistillKate 0 points1 point ago

I am almost done with laser hair removal on my armpits (hopefully 1-2 treatments left). I decided to get it because I had to shave pretty much everyday and even when I shaved you could see the dark hair still. I am really happy with my decision. I have to shave less often and you can't see any of the dark hair. The first treatment was the worst, but still tolerable. They adjust the strength based on your tolerance. Now after about four treatments, I can hardly feel a thing. Each time you go in, you feel it less as the hair dies off. Basically it feels like being snapped with rubber bands, at least it does in my opinion. It will all be worth it when I never have to think about shaving my armpits again. I think I paid like 2000 for three separate areas (armpits for me and facial and bikini for my fiancee). It includes unlimited treatment for up to 2 years as needed. We also received microdermabrasions in the deal. Definitely worth it.

Huh. I didn't know that. Honestly I just thought is just needed the accent mark over it and I have no idea how to do that. I thought it was just a gender neutral word, though I should have known better. The more you know...

I certainly will do that! She too is a redditor and I am sure she has seen this link. She just probably doesn't know I am talking about her in it. ;P
