So she chose to (potentially) block the person who parked in the spot next to the no parking grids, who may have needed that space for getting in and out of the car. I would not have made the choice to shame her, but she made a really bad decision.

Working as a PA in LA I have had to buy many embarrassing items. Eventually you just stop caring and it’s kinda funny. I have bought case after case of 300 pack laxative suppositories for one boss. They don’t stock that jumbo size so you gotta special order it. A few months ago I was looking for an organic hemorrhoid…
Haha, I work at a children’s library and am in charge of collection development, and working with children and teens, purchase A LOT of YA. I have this problem too
I’ve been picking up some odds and ends of the Language! program since I saw another teacher using it. I ordered what I thought was the teacher’s guide, but was sent something else by the Ebay seller, which happens sometimes. The program looks good. Our district bought SIPPS this year and I do not like it. I…
I think the problem here with that is that the Duggars and Anna don’t see what he did as molestation. They see it as a youthful indiscretion.
Yeah. It is awful but i am not even sure anna was allowed to understand the situation fully since the situation was probably represented as young josh being tempted by his victims because women = awful immoral temptresses regardless of their age and ability to consent.
I vowed to God first and then to Joshua for better or for worse, till death do we part
I love how molesting a bunch of little girls (mainly his sisters, one of whom was only 5) is not as bad as the cheating. Raise your hand if you’d much, much, rather you found out your spouse cheated on you than sexually abused a number of kids? I might be hurt about cheating, but I could see working past it. I would…
I am an elementary reading specialist. A great high-interest low level series is The Time Warp Trip series by John Sciezka. I have made readers out of a lot of kids using that series. I have also bought out all the used Goosebumps books I could find at Goodwill. The kids love them!
It’s only way out there because it’s hard to do if someone’s not really familiar with Shakespeare. I started using Hamlet with my oldest classes as a way to teach about character motivation. I’m basically summarizing the play in modern slang. Then the younger kids wanted to know why they weren’t getting “Shakespeare…
I don’t know if this is quite what you’re looking for, but the Tom Gates books have been an incredible hit with my little boy (who is 11 and has a interesting range of labels).
My favorites as a kid were Shell Silverstein’s A Light in the Attic, and Where the side walk ends. Also any Rohal Dahl books, my favorite being Matilda. My 4 the grade teacher actually read Matilda to us and that led me to seeking out his other books on my own.
I like the person’s suggestion for graphic novels and such. my son can read chapter books, but being a total autodidact in reading (he won’t let us facilitate, and he went from one type of schooling where they ‘wait’ before teaching, to now “normal” instruction — which he’ll start in Feb when the school yr starts),…
This is a WAY out there suggestion, but when I was teaching drama I discovered that my kids LOVED Shakespeare if you tell it in modern language. If you’re really familiar with his work, they especially like the tragedies.
Little House on the Praire? That worked for me around 2nd grade.
My son loved the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. He’s also read and enjoyed a book about a character called “Big Nate”; it’s a cartoon strip as well and but I can’t figure out if it’s just one book or sequels have already been published. I agree about graphic novels - text and pictures together make it feel less like a…
I would recommend the Oliver Jeffers books: Lost and Found, Up and Down, The Day the Crayons Quit, etc. Very good, beautiful illustrations, simple text, and gripping stories.
That’s a tough one. Their interests are high, but their reading level being so low, I can understand why they’re not interested in books at their level.
Maybe Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan? Rick is a teacher too and he wrote the books for his kids. Or is that maybe too much?
