FINDING PEACE IN AUTUMN'S BEAUTY

I love autumn, especially in September and October, when the weather is warm and the climate is mild where I live. The trees change their leaves' color and I enjoy walking on the fallen leaves. I love going to the local lake near my home. In summer I swim there but in autumb I go to relax and unwind.

Oter peopl visit this place too. They walk slowly, enjoing the moment, breathing in the fresh air, taking photos, playing with their dogs or sitting on banches reading books or chatting. The atmosphere is wonderful, people savor the last warm and gentle days befor the rainy and cold season begins in November.

Do you have a favorite place to visit in the fall?

English class taught me to embellish my stories with adjectives to draw it out for a word count when I should've learned how to cut it down for clarity.

Legit got told that I need to go less college work at my parents evening tonight.

I have done it.

I have surpassed academic weapon, I have reached academic nuclear bomb… My creators wish they could go back, alas they cannot, all they can do is watch the fire of academics consume my life.

i’m a little more ambivalent about charter schools—yes, there’s a huge issue where public funds get siphoned off to schools of ambiguous quality, but nonetheless markets can *theoretically* pressure schools to adapt and serve children better, IF markets are efficient—but this otherwise summarizes a huge number of issues i have personally dealt with in the education system.

parents are sometimes clueless and sometimes negligent, and not to mention of course they are overworked. phonics has, for some reason, been deprioritized. the culture wars and helicopter parenting have made teaching utter hell. a combo of bureaucracy and delusional parents has caused many teachers to give up on making sure students are truly competent enough before they go to the next grade.

resources aren’t genuinely, pragmatically, and fairly being allocated. ELD programs are barely supported, often in violation of state laws, and students suffer. the world of math is very much quite similar.

overall, i do wish we had conversations about education again as a country beyond banning the Woke TM and masks and whatever. our kids still need to learn how to read and add, how is that fundamental failure not one of the top national priorities????!!!!

do you have any ideas about why so many students are struggling with literacy now? I know that illiteracy and reading comprehension have been issues for years and most americans read at like a 5th grade reading level but I’m curious why it seems to be worse now (pandemic? no child left behind?)

It is everything. There’s not one answer. I could talk about this forever so instead I set a five minute timer on my phone and wrote a list of as many of the many things that are causing this on a systemic level that I could think of:

It’s parents not reading with their kids (a privilege, but some parents have that privilege to be able to do this and don’t.)

It’s youtube from birth and never being bored.

It’s phasing out phonics for sight words (memorizing without understanding sounds or meaning) in elementary schools in the early aughts.

It’s defunding public libraries that do all the community and youth outreach.

It’s NCLB and mandating standardized tests which center reading short passages as opposed to longform texts so students don’t build up the endurance or comprehension skills.

It’s NCLB preventing schools from holding students back if they lack the literacy skills to move onto the next grade because they can’t be left behind so they’re passed on.

It’s the chronic underfunding of ESL and Special Ed programs for students who need extra literacy support.

It’s the cultural devaluing of the humanities in favor of stem and business because those make more money which leads to a lot of students to completely disregard reading and writing.

It’s the learning loss from covid.

It’s covid trauma manifesting in a lot of students as learned helplessness, or an inability to “figure things out” or push through adversity to complete challenging tasks independently, especially reading difficult texts.

It’s covid normalizing cheating and copying.

It’s increasing phone use.

It’s damage to attention span exacerbated by increased phone use that leaves you without an ability to sit and be bored ever without 2-3 forms of constant stimulation.

It’s shortform video becoming the predominant form of social media content as opposed to anything text-based.

It’s starting to also be generative AI.

It’s the book bans.

what did I miss.

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Set Clear Goals: Clearly define your short-term and long-term academic goals. Break them down into smaller, manageable tasks, and create a realistic timeline for achievement.

Create a Study Schedule: Develop a consistent and structured study routine. Allocate specific time slots for each subject, and avoid cramming. A well-organized schedule helps in better time management.

Utilize Effective Study Techniques: Experiment with various study techniques to identify what works best for you. This may include active reading, summarization, flashcards, mind mapping, and group discussions.

Prioritize Subjects: Identify your strengths and weaknesses in different subjects. Allocate more time to subjects that require additional attention while maintaining a balance across all subjects.

Stay Consistent: Consistency is key to academic success. Stick to your study schedule, and try to avoid last-minute cramming. Regular, focused study sessions are more effective than sporadic intense ones.

Seek Help When Needed: Don't hesitate to ask for help when you're struggling with a particular concept or subject. Consult with teachers, classmates, or use online resources to gain a better understanding.

Stay Healthy: A healthy body supports a healthy mind. Ensure you get enough sleep, eat balanced meals, and engage in regular physical activity. This contributes to improved concentration and overall well-being.

Limit Distractions: Create a dedicated study environment free from distractions. Turn off unnecessary notifications on your devices, and find a quiet space where you can focus on your studies without interruptions.

Practice Regular Self-Assessment: Periodically assess your understanding of the material through self-tests or quizzes. This helps you identify areas that need further review and reinforces your learning.

Stay Positive and Manage Stress: Maintain a positive attitude, even in the face of challenges. Stress can negatively impact your performance, so practice stress management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or exercise.

Remember that everyone has a unique learning style, so adapt these tips to suit your individual needs. Consistency, determination, and a proactive approach to learning will contribute significantly to your educational success.

I'm honestly not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.

But, in saying that, I need to make an announcement.

I'M GOING TO GRAD SCHOOL!!

Yes, that's right, friends! Your girl, Luna, is starting grad school on the 8th! I'm so excited!

Now, you might be wondering, "Umm...Luna, how the fuck do you plan to do grad school and teach preschool?"

Well, the short answer is this: I don't want to wait anymore.

I graduated with my Bachelors in 2020. I started working as a preschool teacher in the summer of 2021.

The children are wonderful...but I don't know how much more I can take of the school. There are some weeks I'm working 48-50 hours, as in *forced* overtime. Forced because "there is no one else that can" and "we need to be fair." (I have horror stories. Message me if you want to hear them)

I'm mentally and physically exhausted.

With grad school, I'm hoping to get out of the forced overtime. "No, I can't work after 3:30. I have homework." (I hope this in general breaks up my free time so I can do things like have a life outside of work and write to my heart's content.)

I'm getting my Masters in English education. This means that I could teach middle school and high school English. That is what I'm striving for.

If my job refuses to accommodate that...then I guess I'm going to give my notice.

Mind you, that's not what I want to do. I can't be without a job. I live in the United States, and that means that I need to work to be able to pay for health care. So I wouldn't just quit without a job lined up for me, despite how I may want to.

But I am seriously miserable. All of my friends and family want me to get the hell out of there. My own mother suggested therapy for me because of how I'm treated at work, and if you know anything about that woman, the fact that she even suggested a therapist for me is so out of character.

So, I'm taking the steps to do better things in my life.

But don't be surprised if I come on here and say, "Still doing grad school! I quit my job! I'm now working as a ____!"

still sad they replaced her in the new books. She still appears once in the third year book but she is no longer the ALT character in the New Horizon books. Its Ms. Cook now!

How do you stay professional while being friendly at work?

In my experience, I've come to realize how crucial it is to maintain the right balance between friendship and professionalism in the workplace. Building and keeping good relationships is important but it's just as essential to establish clear boundaries between causual conversation and work tasks.

Here are some of key points I've found helpful:

Set boundaries - it's vital to differentiate between casual chats and focusing on the tasks at hand

Respect other's space and time - always keep in mind that we're at work and everyone has their duties that need attention and completion on time

Communicate respectfully - being polite and professional in all situations, even informal ones is key. One careless word can negatively affect the workplace dynamic

Stay positive - a supportive attitude makes a huge difference. Being in a constant bad mood can influence the entire team and make work progress harder

How do you balance being friendly while staying professional at work?

First thing I thought was that every aspect of this is at least a year too late.

Under 8s play online games. Under 11s get sexually harassed. Under 12s are suicidal. Under 13s are sexually assaulted. And children have a right to know what's going to happen to their bodies before it happens, and to know basic facts about the world. That's not even mentioning that they're trying to ban mention of gender identity outright.

I just want to be able to chill out for once in my life. Holidays are meant to be time to relax but I can’t help but feel like I should be doing some form of college work and since I’m not doing much I’m doing to let myself down and won’t get the grades I want.

I know it’s because I put to much pressure on myself when it comes to academics having decided it’s a good idea to shove all my self worth in academics due to ✨trauma✨ and I really really want to do a job that requires good grades. Yet despite knowing all that I still cannot calm down about it. For some reason I’ve decided if I don’t do any work over the holidays I will fail my A-levels. It’s stupid, I do a lot more work in free periods than the majority of people (no shame to them, in fact more power to them for being able to chill) and when I had days off when studying for GCSE I had the same feelings and still ended up with all A*’s but I can’t shake the guilt and anxiety even knowing all this. What’s more, I’m in lower sixth and getting A’s in the first proper exams we’ve done but I’m scared I can’t keep it up and will somehow bungle it and just fail spectacularly on the actual exams. (Writing this I am suddenly realising I have worse anxiety than I thought I did lol)

In conclusion, stupid brain go brrr, my logic likes to shut down when it goes brrr and the education system is flawed if we feel so pressured to work during time off.
