Public education as a public good is in danger and that causes people who have devoted their life to it, like some teachers, to overreact to any perceived threat or criticism. Many teachers are great, not every teacher is terrible, but it's the bad ones who leave oversized memories and populate our anecdotes. so, like, LoG, i get what's going on for you, but: stop.

litany of gulps posted:Ahh, so your family had money. You are correct, that allows you to get away with things that poor kids don't. Since you seem to have a loving bee in your bonnet about this, I'll specify that my mum was a teacher at a public school for nearly 40 years, retired 4 years ago. You know what she hated most about her job? Her loving lovely coworkers, a lot of whom were bullies who enjoyed having power over children and, in the case of some heads of departments, power over other teachers too. Teaching is a profession that attracts bullies as well as those who want to do good.

quote:He’s let it overflow 5 times and flooded a good portion of the kitchen. I was there 4/5 times to stop it from getting too bad once i realized what was happening. Yesterday i was not there, my stepdaughter messaged me saying her dad flooded the apartment, he says it was just the kitchen The step daughter is 9 btw. Several inches of water and he's just sitting there obliviously, watching TV.

How did not one, but two, adults not see that the sink was on for hours? And how did they do it once, then four more loving times? Is the wife just never there when this is happening? I hate to blame drugs, because drugs have never done me wrong, but I feel like drugs are definitely involved.

I still dont get why the sink is just running, unattended. Like you turn the water on then you start doing the dishes, how is there even time to wander off from the sink between water starting and dish doing starting. Or is this something where I'll learn that in europe dishes are actually a soup or something.

One of my best and worst teachers was an alcoholic whose coffee cup was liberally dosed with whisky. It was amazing to see the energetic and passionate lecturer who loved teaching history (2nd period) daily transform into a barely sentient husk who taught health (7th period) by hitting play on a series of lovely VHS tapes. My man was a legend.

If I'm hand washing a lot dishes, I fill one half of the sink with hot water and detergent, and fill the other half (or a tub if the sink is undivided) with clean water to rinse.

Even if you're filling the entire sink it takes like what, 5 minutes max? just look at your phone for 5 minutes dummy

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:One of my best and worst teachers was an alcoholic whose coffee cup was liberally dosed with whisky. My elementary school teacher did that too. Years later I casually mentioned to my parents "Yeah, Mr K. always had alcohol in his coffee cup, we could smell it." and they were horrified. Sadly he wasn't nearly as cool as your teacher, his idea of teaching us to behave was to tell us the story of Mary's Child every time we misbehaved. Combine that with having one kid in class who always acted out and I spent second grade hearing that story on a weekly basis. Weirdly enough, this never made the kid act out less...

AITA for buying something off of someone else's wishlist??quote:So basically what it says. When I get pissed off or annoyed at a friend or acquaintance or family member that happens to have like an Amazon wishlist, I will go to their wishlist and buy something off of it for myself. For example, when my roommate didn't pay their share of the rent on time for three months in a row, making both of us look delinquent to our landlord despite me paying my share in the portal, I went on their Amazon wishlist and pulled up the listing for a pair of boots they want and bought them for myself. They noticed the boots and were like "oh hey I've been looking at those online" and I was like "oh? Really? They're so nice 😊".

Is he running the water so fast the overflow can't keep up? How's he doing it?

WIBTA for reporting my child's teacher?quote:Alt acc because my family knows my reddit. My spouse (41M) and I (41F) have a child that we'll call Hannah (15f). Last week I picked Hannah up and she said that one of her teachers, we'll call her Ms. K, took her phone for looking at it during class. I told her she needed to keep her phone in her pocket during class, then Hannah tells that Ms. K still hasn't returned it. I thought that was a little weird but whatever, get it tomorrow. Every day after Hannah tells me she asked for it back and Ms. K refuses. On Thursday I sent her an email asking when we can expect the phone back and that I would like her to have it for when she works this weekend. No reply. Going to need to know whether this is a public or a private school before I can decide whether OP is a nazi.

Her loving lovely coworkers, a lot of whom were bullies who enjoyed having power over children and, in the case of some heads of departments, power over other teachers too. It's this. Especially once you add in ND, it just sets something off in some teachers, for some reason it's blood in the water for them Incidentally as a kid I had one of my core primary school teachers (and a swim coach too!) later confess to my mum that I reminded them of their dead child and that's why they were so "intense" with me. I'm sure it also didn't help that I was undiagnosed ND and had a very emotionally-problematic home life, but I still find it odd that it happened twice, and that nothing ever came out of it. IIRC it was like, things escalated until there were some serious discussions, the teacher and coach confessed the reason for their behaviour, and then I guess mum was like "oh that makes sense, I'm sorry for your loss" ??
