Had a Chemistry teacher who had to occasionally take a mental health day due to severe, vietnam based ptsd, and he seemed like a good person who got irreversibly hosed up by a horrific pointless thing making the very poor decision to teach spoiled young rich kids who wanted to see if they could trigger him.

My band teacher in elementary school "accidentally" slapped one of my friends when he was mouthing off - let's just say he had a free pass for the rest of the year.

Kurieg posted:our band teacher once came in to teach hung over and spent the class period in his office with the lights off and told us to not make too much noise. My history teacher freshman year of high school once screamed "SHUT! UP!" at the whole class when we weren't even talking. I can't remember if this was before or after he got busted for nursing a can of Coke that was actually filled with whiskey.

AITA for freaking out at MIL for wearing my wedding dress?quote:My husband and I had a fairly casual wedding. It wasn't what I wanted, but I was pregnant and we couldn't afford more at the time. I am that girl who always dreamed of a big fancy wedding. MIL made it clear that she wasn't paying because she was mad at us. Now obviously I didn't expect her to pay, but it was like she wanted me to know that she was mad. My dress was a maxi with some beading. It only cost about $300 and was formal without being too bridal.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:From what I've seen the teacher is usually the first line of reporting on excused vs unexcused. The OP said they weren't concerned because the unexcused absence could be overturned on escalation, so there's some sort of administrative oversight. That’s really strange to me. Here you always call or email the school secretary who relays it to the attendance clerk or other person responsible for keeping track of attendance. Teachers can look and see if it’s excused or not, and that can impact due dates at schools or in classes where late work is not accepted or is discounted to half points or something, but they don’t control whether or not it’s excused. Regardless, that teacher should have lost his job the first time the office found out he knocked a desk over because he got mad at a student.

When I was in high school both the choir director and the assistant choir director left in the middle of the year because they found better jobs elsewhere. I did not have strong feelings towards either of them so I was like "eh." We got a new director and assistant director. Choir director spent most the second half of the fall semester hung over in her office with half the lights in the choir room turned off. It slowly came out that she was grooming (she was a predator) some of the senior December graduates and then had her favorite come in and play act at being a conductor with the super elite chorale group. Apparently she drove to work still drunk once. None of this got her fired though. What did get her fired was when we went to a high school fine arts competition and we got bad marks on it. Her being a drunkard didn't get her fired, her being a pedo didn't get her fired, her leaving her husband for one of her victims didn't get her fired, but loving with the state competition? That got her fired.

The drama teacher I was working under in my final year of high school decided that I wasn’t putting in enough effort into class and that she “might have to fail me”. I was being taken to the ER every 1-2 days because a surgeon hosed up my gallbladder removal, but she didn’t believe me. I went straight to the admin and they didn’t give a poo poo. Two months later she had a mental breakdown and left for the rest of the year, just in time for me to get diagnosed and treated so I was finally healthy. gently caress her, I hope she is still miserable.

My school district had one guy who taught orchestra both at the middle school I went to and the high school my older siblings attended. I played violin and had him as my teacher in 7th and 8th grades. Everyone knew he was a creep; he would sit really close to the girls and put his hands on our knees and shoulders. It was really hosed up because EVERYONE knew about it because it happened to EVERYONE, but nobody said anything about it. It happened to me and I didn't know I could say anything about it at the time! By the time I moved into high school, he was gone, I assume he got fired but who knows. It seemed like it went on for years. Also his name was Mr. Kidd, which was fairly creepy in retrospect. content:

Yes. Teenage boys get plenty of poo poo for -Voice cracking and squeaking -Smelling bad -Awkward boners at inopportune times -Peach fuzz or wispy facial hair If we want to argue who has it worse, or how harmful and permanent the effects are (girls have it worse) go ahead. But the answer to "do we mock boys for going through puberty" is most definitely yes. As usual, the patriarchy hurts everyone, although not equally. Young and low status men get poo poo on plenty also.

My history teacher who went on rants, threw chairs (not at students) and tipped one kid's desk over stayed in the job somehow. Had a once-good and much loved bio teacher who was going senile and nobody listened to us kids until the ones who dropped the class scored better on the AP test than the ones who stayed in, she "decided to retire" after that year. Only teacher I know who got fired was a choir teacher, I don't think we ever found out why though there were plenty of rumors. Whatever he did and whoever he did it to, he was suddenly gone overnight.

Guessing that asking for a recommendation will often just get you the dishes that give the restaurant the most margin, management can ask wait staff to promote certain items. But how is anyone possibly going to be offended by that interaction

I ask for recommendations all the time and it's mostly so I don't waste time being indecisive. Like if I'm at a subway-style fast food restaurant that I've never been to before. I feel like that's a step below a diner with wait staff. I think the instruction to push towards or away from certain items is more a thing in high end restaurants and it's governed by not wanting to run out of something early in the night.

The only reason I could see someone doing it based on margins is if they're the owner and if the owner is pulling tables they've already severely hosed up let alone having such wildly different margins on entrees that it's worth telling people to get the burger instead of the salmon or whatever

Shithouse Dave posted:Maybe this is an American thing going on here, or maybe I’m just a “bad with money” person, but I much prefer to keep my expenses as even as possible each pay. It makes it easier to save, and I’m less likely to forget and bone myself over suddenly having large amounts go out infrequently. That's pretty universal imo, its basically the idea behind the science of 'accounting'.

AITA for telling my husband to stop trying to parent my kids through their dead dad?quote:I (f36) lost my late husband years ago, I'm now married to my husband of 2 years "Jason". He loves his stepkids (9-6) and does a lot of things with them. However, he started doing something lately that I find weird and acceptable. Whenever one or both kids do something wrong, instead of giving out proper punishement (that we both agreed upon) he'd grab a photo of my late husband and start addressing it complaining about the kids behaviors while the kids stand and listen, he then proceeds to tell them their dad is mad at them and is disappointed they did this or that. I'm aware of the psychological impact this type of "discipline" can have on them. The kids would sometimes feel so guilty they"d start crying then ask if dad is really disappointed in them cause their stepdad told them he told him that. I told him to knock it off several.times and last night I blew up on him after I found out he told my daughter that her dad "said" he'd disown her if she did x thing again. I told him he was going too far and is causing huge damage to the kids and tainting their memory of their deceased father. He was like "this way they'll learn, and if they really love their dad, then they'll behave" I said "listen! The kids love and will always love their dad and what you're doing is causing damage to their love and remembarance for their dad". He said I was overreacting but I argued that I already warned him. He said something about him being a parent too and that I have to respect his parenting and stop trying to act like the cool parent and step up instead. He then went outside and stayed gone for hours. kill your husband, and your sister

I didn't know teachers v desks was a thing. We had two teachers immediately fired after they threw a desk in anger. It was fifteen+ years apart and entirely different teachers, but it was weird it happened twice, or so I thought. Like a whole-rear end desk, what the hell. Throw a book or something, they're much easier!
