being an ed major is crazy because one class will be like "let's read middle school books and play scattergories!" and then the other class is like "Here. Is. Where. You. Learn. Lesson. Plan. Pay. Attention. Or. Die."
#like please why am i reading vygotsky at the same time as a kids graphic novel about lesbianism#i know why#okay#before other educators come at me#i fully understand why#its actually so important that we play scattergories#other kids in my class dont get it#But I Do.#also. at least for my cohort. why are all these ed majors bullies and assholes who think caring isn't cool#like they were straight up making fun of a fellow classmate in a class gc. THAT HE IS IN.#how the fuck are u expecting to teach the youth with that attitude#if u aren't a being of whimsy and passion and committment i fear you will NOT survive teaching#and that is simply common sense#i fear there will be many washouts in my cohort#im so confused by why most of them are in that room#i think maybe a lot of them just don't have experience teaching so they haven't had that 'aha!' moment and the spark lit yet#but im just saying#if i met most of these kids in other class and they told me they wanted to be a middle school teacher#id side eye the fuck out of them#i could complain for days about these people

omg the people in the comments section of esteban's interview need to 1) work on their comprehension skills 2) watch literally any other interview where esteban expresses his gratitude for whatever team he's working with and most importantly 3) TOUCH SOME GRASS
lmao honestly at this point i just try my best to laugh it off. not seeing esteban's greatness is a skill issue imo. in general, the mantra i'm trying to adopt for seeing hate against things i love is 'why should i go out of my way to give vision for those who refuse to see?'
Imma be real the hate Ocon gets is on an insane level to me like I've never seen anything like this in any other fandom let alone for a real fucking person. People just do not shut up about him. He could say 'hi my name is Esteban' and people would hate on him. People willfully misinterpret everything he says every single time he opens his mouth. Every fan of this sport understands that it's a rich person's sport and nepotism is everywhere and yet the moment the one driver who was not upper or middle class as a child speaks out about it they act like they don't know that about the sport. People in the comments straight up saying 'oh wow he didn't go skiing as a kid well me either' THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT YOU IDIOT HE IS MORE LIKE US THAN THE REST OF THE KIDS IN KARTING WHO HAD THE MONEY TO DO THAT!!
#ur right i just have to laugh when i see shit now but still at the back of my mind im like how can you willfully misinterpret what he says#how can you on one hand acknowledge the sport is for rich kids and then mock Ocon when he speaks about his childhood#like he was working class i feel like people dont get that. im british. we r obsessed with class so maybe i see something others dont idk#f1#esteban ocon#ask

my meet cutes with every boy ive liked since i was 15 were all so good its not fair i hope i find a relationship with a nice story & it doesnt just end up being from tinder lol
#like if i meet the love of my life on tinder i will not complain. i wld just like a better story than that </3#my ex boyfriend was the first person my age i met after moving to england the day before when i was 11 years old. we sat together in all ou#classes in early secondary school bc our names were alphabetically after each other. and he was the only kid who wld keep talking to me and#not treat me like an invisible alien even though i was a selective mute and never responded to him. then i fell in love w him when we were#15 on the school trip to paris bc we sat together on the coach and it was the first time we had a proper conversation despite knowing each#other for years at that point#but i dont get to tell anyone that story bc he dumped meeeeee -_-

Heddwyn "Wyn" Caldera is a freshman from Diasomnia. He's well known in alchemical circles for multiple revolutionary breakthroughs in the world of potions, the first of which he discovered at eight years old. Though invited to NRC last year at age thirteen, he waited a year before accepting a position at the school.
here he is my baby boy......!!!! been tossing this kid around in my head a lot lately and wanted to make a profile card for him to show him off to the world. imagine me as a proud parent and ive pulled this out of my wallet.
based off the black cauldron. both the movie and like. the cauldron itself. naturally he is good at potions. since the cauldron is essentially a mcguffin wanted by everyone the idea is that he's extremely good at what he does but is also pretty vulnerable to being used. he's also very stone-faced bc he's...... made of stone............ get it.............
template is from here!
#twst oc#twisted wonderland#his fave food is veggies bc i think being a 14yo boy who eats Spinch and Enjoys It is funny#im still turnign over his unique magic in my head........ i think the thing i initially wanted for him im keeping for his eldest brother#he and deuce get along well (he is a cauldron) but tbh i dont think he has many other friends#i think theyre parters in pe and i think he tries to tutor deuce in potions and i think both these things go badly. u kno how it is.#if he put as much effort into his magic as he did his potions hed be a prodigy there too. unfortunately he likes Stir and Brew.#doted on in science club. rook praises the shit he works on and he gets so excited and happy and trey is just glad theyre getting along#tbh i dont think trey realizes at first baby is literally world-famous hes just like. theres a kid in this club. ill be nice.#has a good rship with crewel overall tho theres always an odd line for him to walk btwn 'this person is a revolutionary genius at potions'#and 'this kid is fourteen and the most awkward child i have ever taught' u kno.#he ta's in the third years class sometimes. as you do#looks up to malleus and dislikes lilia (too playful/unserious for his tastes) respects silver a lot but finds sebek Very Rude#(they are seat mates)#OK THATS A LOT OF THOUGHTS FOR TAGS and i wnana lie down. think abt my baby please. ok goodnight#wyn stuff#how do you art

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........
#MOTHER FFFFUCKER#to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants#im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night#at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn#to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS#the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori#but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey#consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!!#just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick#outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to#animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better#at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH#i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc#im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over#where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands#there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE#ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles#but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your#health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!!#im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves#also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet#im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to#have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to#to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up#their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ#yapping

how do you politely tell your uni classmates that you're not gonna sit the exam for them
#i have gotten the reputation as The Good Student Who Helps People Out and listen. if there's good reason i will absolutely help you#like if you miss classes due to work or if you're ill. or if you have kids/dont live in this city. all's fair game then!#but when you ask me shit like “hey do you know what's gonna be on the exam”#or “hey do you know about XYZ” when XYZ is already on my notes that I've already sent to you#then I'm simply convinced you're lazy and want me to do your work for you and I'm honestly not having that#also girl how would i know what's gonna be on the exam. do you think i see the future???#like yesterday DURING THE ONLINE EXAM i was getting bombarded with messages from two different people#one was asking me to tell her the answer to an entire ass essay#and the other asked me something that was very clearly and simply given to us in the exercise question#like the question was “use any text we've studied to analyse X Thing” and i was asked “does exercise a want us to analyse X Thing”#BRO. LITERALLY JUST READ THE ONE (1) LINE OF TEXT THAT'S TELLING YOU EXACTLY THAT.#idk this is such a whiny stupid vent but it legit feels like I'm being taken advantage of sometimes and it's annoying

Yk whats really funny. People have always told me they admire my honesty and stuff, especially since i “seem like a bad liar” and then as soon as The Circumstances im better than the fbi
#ago rambles#its so silly like all my teachers that promise they know everything that happens in their class#theyll look at me and go ‘are you ok you seem off’#i just nod and smile and suddenly im a perfectly normal kid#ive made up seven fake excuses#but my Super Liar abilities only kick in when its about if im ok#literally never any other situation#to my mut that said they admire my honesty like three weeks ago#im still honest most of the time. i hope#if this means u dont wanna be friends anymore i get that#i personally wouldve ditched me a year ago

Yesterday at the high school I was in for this art teacher and they all had like projects they were gonna present to work on in Google classroom, so like many days as a substitute teacher it was quiet and I mostly just sat at the desk and read. But then this one kid in my peripheral vision was looking at me and when I glanced over her laughed a little. And I looked away cuz I was like whatever maybe he was whispering smth w his friends.
But then he says "I have a question"
"Yeah?"
"What two colors make purple?"
"Oh. Red and blue"
"Thank you... I appreciate the no judgment answer"
I didn't even think about it lol
#when youve been asked enough silly questions you just accept all of them#tales from diana#and this class in particular was not an intro class which. makes it a little extra funny#i told him ive heard sillier questions and he said 'like what?' and i was just like... oh idk but i used to work prek#i guess i am such a no judgment person that it didn't even register to me hed worry abt me laughing at him#u just forgot kid! its ok it happens to the best of us#there was also another interaction i had at the end of the day which was kinda weird#the last like 10 minutes. there was this kid in the front of the room like#apparently he was dancing and i guess i turned my head like toward the whiteboard for one sec#bc i was thinking abt erasing it. which was right next to him#and he was like 'she totally saw me bust that move' to his friends#i didn't know if they meant me or they were talking abt some other student. but fwiw i totally was not looking at him lol#but five minutes later i go up to erase the board#and the kid is still standing there and he's like 'what was your name again?' (it was literally on the board still. kids dont read)#'miss -----' 'oh. it was nice to meet you' and i was kinda like uh the fuck lol#i can't stress enough i dont 'meet' most of these high school students i just take attendance#i didn't say a word to any kids this class unless they asked to go to the bathroom#but i was like. uhm. 'nice meeting you too' like wtf?#'nice being here at my job where i oversee dozens of interchangeable students everyday'#ive always said i can usually tell when students have a crush on me. but that really applies to like. k-8#bc of how little i really get to work w high schoolers it's not like i can just read their minds#even if im a 'pretty substitute' to them i dont know that and they dont talk to me and i dont care#it's definitely weirder to have a teenager talk to u like ur a cute girl or smth. bc they don't do it in the earnest way of younger kids#not that that was like an offensive interaction it was just completely unexpected and awkward lol

I work at an alternative school for teen students who for many various reasons are unable to be functional in a traditional typical classroom setting - disciplinary reasons, anxiety, emotional disorders, trauma, etc. - and I assist with a lot of english classes. It makes me a little sad that the teacher I work the most closely with hates the catcher in the rye so much because I’ve been rereading it and I think my students would relate really closely to Holden Caulfield. Caulfield may be annoying and whiny and privileged and obnoxious but I think the narrative of a teenager who acts out and postures himself to be older than he actually is and is struggling to comprehend and process a lot of trauma in his life so he does things he can’t even explain to himself and acts self destructive and lashes out to other people and has emotional breakdowns for seemingly no reason would be REALLY relatable to a lot of my students and I wish I could teach it to them...
#we read books out loud in class instead of assigning readings too so like#i could stop in real time and ask them to think about WHY they think holden is doing specific things#why holden starts crying when the pimp asks him for money#why holden says he doesnt care much about his siblings but then knows every timestamp on their daily routines#why holden gets so upset over other boys his age sleeping with girls but holden doesnt do it himself#why holden gets himself into fights but doesnt like fighting back#why holden zones out while hes being lectured and thinks about the ducks in the pond and where they go during the winter#he's like a very well illustrated example of a kid who projects all of his own issues onto everyone else because he doesnt know how to#process whats going on in his life#and it makes me sad how much of a bad reputation the book gets#bc reading it reminds me so much of my students who i love very dearly#who are very misunderstood and struggle with so much that isnt their fault#idk i think my students might have a lot of empathy for holden#i wish i could teach it to them but i dont control what we do in class

pulling an all nighter not out of choice but out of necessity
#jinx's hijinks#school in 4 hours#first day of 2nd term#im getting my old math teacher back and i think im gonna threaten to kms in front of him#i hate this man so bad#just bc im not diagnosed doesnt mean you cant accomdate for me#LITERALLY ALL THE OTHER TEACHERS ACCOMODATE FOR ME BC THEY ARENT BIG AA#IM LITERALLY LOW SUPPORT NEEDS ITS NOT HARD#it makes both our lives harder when you dont make accommodations#like last year he genuinely made my year horrible#ive never cried so much in a class#he cant teach in a way that makes sense to me either so that doesnt help#his teaching style just doesnt make sense and he wont try any other way of explaining things to me so ive gotta ask my friends#and they are just as lost as me bc we are in essential math for a reason#for my non aussie moots ans followers essential math is like for people who really really struggle with math#like we r literally learning the basics over again#but again thats becuase most of the class is disabled. was failed by their old school or missed put on core learning bc of personal reasons#LIKE WE ARE KIDS WHO ARE SET BACK AND STURGGLE BUT HALF OF US ARENT ACCOMMODATED FOR

being a TA helping the class gain confidence, learn from their mistakes, build bonds and help educational progress:

being a TA that has no choice in having to do whatever the fuck an off timetable child wants to do, who's guardian said "good luck" as soon as they drop them off in a violent mood

#i have too much shit to do i need to start charging babysitting rates#i know im being so damn harsh but my god PLEASE i hate going into work knowing i have to just let them do what they want#i have mental issues. i dont get free passes to do what i want.#'oh but youre an adult' trust me weve had enough training about windows of tolerance and its reiterated people under 25 can be pushed#the same way was a 10 year old. i have worked with this kid for over a year and no matter what we do fuck all works#even the therapists my work has say the child manipulates everything in their favour#there are other sen kids in my class that desperately need support but i cannot be there because you wants to play chess and bake cookies#anyway if you cant tell im reconsidering my job#stop talking helena

#im going to use these tags as a way to beat my soul about my job so if you come at me you’re a bitch and i hope you stub each individual to#i finally realized why im unhappy being a teacher and it’s because i don’t care about the future of these kids more than the cursory#‘I hope theyre ok’ you would feel for any stranger in the world#like i want to harm to come to them but i truly don’t care about them#like the kid that sleeps in class ? my thought is finally he’s fucking quiet the kid that’s got a 2% and doesn’t pay attention im like#whatever like im not motivated to get them motivated and if I wasn’t the kind of person that cared about her work id give them worksheets#for the rest of the year making them silently work while I r ead books all day#like I feel like at the beginning I did the calling home and the tutoring and the flipping over backwards to get as many of the kids to#their reading level and ensure they’re getting a great history lesson that’s going to reach every student and now im like#this is the lesson and if you like it great if you don’t idc you can pay attention or fail it’s on you#and part of me feels bad like I should want to dress up like x figure and get them engaged by doing xyz and like I just don’t want to#it’s like what’s the point im going to engage the same 9 kids in each class while the other 21 pretend to#pay attention while they’re texting under their desk and then they’re going to try to google or use ai the answers#and im like…. whatever i dont care turn it in don’t turn it in whatever#ik too young to feel this apathetic about teaching and it suck but also oof I don’t care#I want to quit at the end of the year before my apathy turns into hatred I’ve seen teachers that hate hate the kids and that can’t be me#like even if I stayed for 30 years it wouldn’t be me but the idea of it scares me#I don’t want this job to change who I am as a person but it’s taking away my care for the younger generation#I don’t hate them or wish them ill but I just genuinely don’t care about them or their progress or anything#it’s scary#anyways im rambling idk im just having a bad day ill see this tomorrow and be like wow girl get a snickers cuz this isn’t you#but rn that’s how im feeling

#i think you're like the 3rd person on here who thinks? i might tho aldfjalkd#but truly i do not think so#i think i hv other things tht hv overlapping symptoms#like one thing i do hv is very (social) anxiety#typically my more adhd like symptoms seem to overlap with my alleged pmdd but atm pmdd is def not a culprit#i just get overwhelmed easily esp in social situations n like uni drains me i think#n this sem is the first sem i'm there for 5 days so tht def doesnt help plus i'm doing a um rather interactive online class on saturdays so#yah sigh#like my biggest i really dont think i hv adhd is like i really didnt hv similar symptoms as a kid#a lot of my mental symptoms started as a teen n stuff so yah#anon#alfjdlasd idk thanks for asking i guess?#i just mean like i'm not offended or annoyed or anything tht u asked#bc i'm not really sure what the tone of my response may sound like#so it's all good yah
