thinking about middle aged single dad Kiyoomi with fine silver streaks in his black curls and dark circles under his eyes and his shirt crumpled, dirty glasses pushed up into his hair as he rubs the bridge of his nose because his daughter ate glitter glue at 11pm and got a tummy ache now and he's tempted to just eat some glitter glue as well

Galladrabbles: Let Me (Teacher's Edition)

Parent-Teacher Conference @galladrabbles series continues! TY @ardent-fox, your prompt really helped Mickey flirt this week!

previous chapter / the whole story

-✏️-📓-✏️-📓-

Somehow Mickey looks even better than Ian remembers. 

His eyes intently follow as Mickey heads to the bar to get their drinks. His fingers drum out a rhythm nervously against the old wooden table.  

By the time Mickey sets two Old Styles down, he’s run through multiple scenarios in his head about how this night might go. 

His favorite includes them flirting for hours, sharing a smoke, then boxing Mickey in against the brick wall outside, getting his hands down…. 

“You zonin’ out on me already Gallagher? Don’t let me interrupt.”

“Uh-no just thinking… I’m really happy we met up.”

[187days]

Day Thirty-One

Today our students had an early dismissal and we had a late evening. This is a thing we do twice a year: we stay until 5:30, which counts as a "day" in our legally required 187 days, and we use that time for parent-teacher conferences. I think it's a good use of the time because it allows parents to speak specifically about their children as opposed to just hearing a general overview of our courses during an open house (and it keeps us from doing upaid labor).

Now, I always dress presentably at work, but there's a black and white dress I have that's super cute when paired with black tights and heels, and it makes me look like an adult (longtime readers know I look much younger than I actually am). A bunch of the ninth grade girls complimented it, which was a nice little self-esteem boost.

The ninth grade classes were only about half an hour long today, but that was the a perfect amount of time for students to revise and submit their culture projects. And, yes, I made today the due date because I figured that it would be the perfect amount of time, and that I could get all my grading done in between conferences. Which I did.

I'm feeling pretty proud of my planning skills.

In APGOV, students read an article on cooperative federalism, and then we discussed how it works in practice. I had them find out about our school district's use of ESSER grants because that's an obvious, applicable example for them. Then, to grab an example that's not so close to home but very present in the news, we talked about disaster relief- and, more specifically, FEMA's response to hurricanes Helene and Milton. More on that next class.

My conference schedule was nearly full, but some major traffic mid-afternoon caused some parents to miss their scheduled times. We adjusted and made it work, though!

I was pleasantly surprised that so many of the APGOV parents came to talk, especially when they told me how much their kids like the course. Sometimes, that's obvious, but some of them are very hard to read! I think my favorite conferences, though, were with ninth grade parents who'd been worried about the transition to high school, but learned that their children are excelling. They're so happy and relieved, and it's awesome to deliver good news. But, for parents whose children are having a tough time with that transition, I got to give some advice and talk strategies that will hopefully get them on the right track, and that's also a really positive and productive way to spend my time.

So, all in all, it was a great afternoon/evening. I am quite glad to be home and relax, though! Whew!

I feel like Darlin isn't the only hot parent at parent teacher conferences. Sam is handsome as hell and ages like fine wine and I will die on that hill.

Random student : So how old's your dad?

Micah : TO OLD FOR YOU AND HE'S MARRIED

Micah : STAY AWAY FROM MY PARENTS GUYS

Oh, trust me, I’m very well aware that Darlin’s not the only hot parent 😆 Although I’m not sure “ages like fine wine” can apply to Sam? Because he doesn’t age? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But either way, yes Sam is very much the hot parent too

But Micah is far more inclined to laugh at a random student asking about her hot parents. For various reasons. One being that her dad is in fact very old (from a teenager’s perspective lol) and uses “back in my day” all the time.

Random Student: So how old’s your dad?

Micah:

I see exactly where you’re coming from and you are correct

Also apparently my fucking MANAGER and assistant manager have been going behind my back (their favorite thing) and telling all of my parents that their kids are terribly behaved and have social/emotional issues and never listen and throw things at other kids, etc.

And it's like. Yeah, they do ignore me or outright tell me no when I tell them to do things. If they complied every time I asked them to do something I would report their family to CPS. And they throw toys or have emotional outbursts bc they're 2 years old and not good at talking yet. I think they're just so used to the preschool (3-5 year old) classrooms and my kids look to be almost the same size, so they treat them like they're the same age. But a 4-year-old is twice the age of a kid in my classroom, so of course they're going to act differently. Jesus.
