Cardiovorax posted:Alright, then. Just wouldn't want you to get in trouble over your employer deciding to push a job on the foreigner that they're not allowed to do and don't know the local law well enough to question. It happens. Definitely had that happen before, but I swear that this is normal. Spain is really loose about stuff. But I do appreciate your concern and advice!

I had diarrhea at a public restroom last month and I heard a little girl in the next stall over say "mama, something smells delicious!" and I have been emotionally scarred ever since.

Fleta Mcgurn posted:I was supervising the first graders changing for swimming class when a very sweet little girl invited me to smell her stinky underwear. I politely declined. She then told me that all the boys are very naughty except for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It was the weirdest conversation I have ever had with a naked person. My four year old, ten minutes later: *is doing naked handstand splits* But seriously, teaching appropriate behavior without shaming is actually hard. “Why do I have to wear underwear.” Uhhhhh

Context is a helluva thing, and kids dont have it so we just have to be careful i guess In 7th-ish grade (early 90s), my gymteacher used to walk naked through the room where we were changing, apparently better to shower with us instead of the designated adult room... after a couple weeks it got kinda old tbh if my son or daughter had a teacher who did that today i would call the police

Ugly stuff happened there on a weekly basis. Including things that would have been classed as sexual assault today. I would have loved for there to have been a teacher present at all times, nude or not, instead of having to deal with bullies while being naked and body shamed. The "answer" to the bully problem was to talk my family into letting me go to boarding school for one year.

Today a patient's granddaughter came to visit him, and she brought a Get Well balloon for him from the gift shop. She proceeded to tell me all about how the balloon's name was Sassy and she had 'flower makeup' on and liked to dance.

Bertrand Hustle posted:Like, the Hebrew word for anus is seen as a bad word, or the English word anus means something naughty in Hebrew? I think the latter. The child does not speak Hebrew and kept saying "in Jewish." An actual Jewish kid involved in the conversation neither confirmed nor denied the claim, and seemed interested and amused at the prospect. This came up because hours earlier we had read a book about the planets.

Nova has not been feeling so well but asked that I make a "wrasslin video" with her. We sometimes trade headlocks and she gives me armdrags and stuff. Today, she wanted to "wrassle" but wasnt willing to get off the bed and just said "Do the big kick! BabyKicker!" so that's what we did. You can hear end of my "ready" just as filming begins. I know its silly but Nova thinks its hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU_CKgkx9QU *no babies were kicked in the making of this video. edit: NOW she wants to make a crawlspace video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0nFMZ-UyQ Final Crawlspace Update Beer_Suitcase has a new favorite as of 03:37 on Jan 22, 2019 |

Welcome to another edition of Why are my students crying? today's prizes are a loaf of bread, an eraser, and a couple of aspirin for me! A was crying because "Y touched gluten and then she touched me!" Y was crying for obvious reasons. A does not have celiac. M was crying because G drew on his paper. This was after insisting that he wanted to work with G on his drawing project and that they wanted to share the paper. Y started crying again because she drew the same sun as everyone else and they told her SHE was copying. Then she drew her own drat sun and the other girls copied. This was apparently fine with everyone.

The Lord Bude posted:I don’t understand how this game show works. You appear to have provided us with the answers already. How do I win the bread? I like bread. Well, here's the problem with the bread: 1. The bread can be used for many things. For example, a powder compact, a blunt weapon, a Frisbee, or a tissue. However, you may not actually eat the bread. 2. If you are sitting at a table, and the bread is next to you, you MUST stand up and steal the breadbasket from the OPPOSITE end of the table, bonus points for hitting the Girl Who Always Cries in the head as you do so. This will ensure that her piercing shriek of injustice and despair effectively horrifies the others so much that you get at least twenty seconds before they realize the bread is also gone. 3. If you do get your hands on some bread, I'm probably just going to take it away (see point 1). But, okay, I'll make it harder: G3 is crying hysterically. G2 is doing a dance that is largely dabbing. G4 is ripping up his worksheets and calling everyone mierda and maricon. G1 is angry because she is not allowed to cut the ears off her stuffed animal. Why is G3 crying?

Pastry of the Year posted:well first you take G3 across the river with the bread, and then But then I will have no one to play air guitar during class, and I wouldn't enjoy myself half as much. Krankenstyle posted:G3 wanted to cut the stuffed ears off too Wrong! Well, probably right, but that's not why he was crying. How is this not completely obvious? He was crying because G2 kept dancing! Duh! BONUS ROUND: Everyone is reading books in the bathroom during recess. G4 is sitting with them, but scream-crying with his mouth open. G2 explains that G4 read 25 books in one day and G4 screams that it was a surprise. Can you guess what on earth the actual problem is?

BattyKiara posted:G2 ruined the surprise? Close! Actually, the problem was A, who quite rightly pointed out that G4 didn't actually read anything. G4 is EBD and naturally this led to an almighty tantrum. I just spent an hour with the four-year-olds. In a way, they're easier, although three of them told me they didn't like my hair.

Oh, I was subbing in PK4 today (everyone has the flu, and our school doesn't have substitutes) and a girl said she had to tell me a secret. I said okay, because you never know when you might need blackmail material. She leaned over and whispered in my ear, "My daddy does a BIG poo-poo EVERY DAY." He's very tall, I don't doubt it.

Me, giving a sentence dictation for the kids to write down: "'Can you do a back flip?'" Kid 1: The REAL question is, can YOU do a back flip, Mrs. Bravo??? Me: Actually the REAL question is, can YOU finish writing this sentence before it's time to leave? Kid 2: *does that really hard, spit-take kind of laugh* That was a really good joke.

One time a kid got really upset when the other kids called him a tadpole. Which is understandable because Norwegian wasn't his first language and the Norwegian word for tadpole is 'rear end troll'. So I had to carefully explain that the other kids did not think that he was a literal rear end troll and show him pictures of tadpoles.
