I'm white with olivey skin (Italian background) and that shit doesn't match my skin tone at all. Obviously the contrast is not as bad as a POC, but I'm totally like "fuck it" and rock Hello Kitty and Disney band-aids. I mean, it helps that I'm an elementary school teacher and all, but whatever. Honestly, the nude bra…

You're clearly missing the point that I find ALL short men to be unattractive. It's a turn of. It doesn't do it for me. I have yet to find any short guy that I want to fuck. People are into different things. I sincerely find it to be an unattractive trait, that is my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I have small boobs,…

Don't even get me started on Teach for America. Those people receive no training and often are doing it to throw on their resume before applying to law school.

We don't TEACH grammar anymore. Between Common Core and all the other stuff we are required to cover, things like grammar and spelling have been cut and pushed to the side. For the record, I bought my own spelling curriculum and grammar books, and plan to supplement what the school gave me because I think it is…

Can I ask WHAT prompted this conversation? I have 33 kids in my class (ugh), and only 5 are black. If a parent came up to me and said that, I would partially understand where they were coming from, but I also couldn't help but be a little offended or uncomfortable that the parent was judging me or didn't think that I…

WHAT?!?!!? I'm sorry, but WHAT. I want to punch that person in the face.

I have worked in a few elementary schools, and I can count on ONE HAND the number of male teachers in all three schools. Men tend not to teach the elementary grades, they typically choose to teach older students (based on my experience in grad school and working in schools). It is very likely that there may not be ANY…

NY state doesn't have the PRAXIS, they have their own tests, and you have to take a bunch of them in order to become certified. A lot of people wind up failing the special ed test a few times (a lot of educational law and tons of info that is pretty impossible to study for, considering what it covers). I'm not…

That's exactly how the student who I used to be a TA for in second grade would ask (PDD-NOS). The ABA room was right across the hall from our gened 2nd grade classroom, and the teacher went into each second grade classroom and spoke a bit about Autism, what it is, how you can't catch it, etc. My student raised his…

Thats...not true around here. Why the hell not? It's a good way to recycle something that most people throw out, especially in the early childhood years.

Yawn. You're not even a good troll.

IDK it just seems so inauthentic. I guess I just don't like the idea of friendships based on having more black friends. It seems borderline offensive to me.

I'm not saying that historically the reasons why that hair type is "prized" in society isn't because of racial attitudes; I'm just saying that because it started that way doesn't mean that a Jewish girl is thinking, "I don't want my hair to look black." And honestly, my hair is a hell of a lot easier to manage than my…

I have the same perspective about religion. Depending on where people grow up, sometimes they can't control their space or paths. Keep in mind, I do say this as someone who went to college in Boston away from home, and who did an internship in Disney working with people from all over the world (which was awesome). I…

Okay, white girl here who grew up on Long Island in a town where you were either Italian or Jewish, so a good number of my friends are Jews. My Jewish friends who have this type of hair texture joke or complain about their hair don't do it because their hair is in any way associated with black/African phenotypes,…

I have to make an effort to change the paths that I travel in order to make black friends? I'm similar to Ladyology, graduated with 450, 3 were black. Granted now I live closer to NYC and I have expanded my horizons as I went away to college and grew older, but some people really do live in places that aren't diverse,…

Yeah but it's not something that is easy for everyone to control. Out of 450 kids in my senior class, 3 were back. THREE. I lived in a very segregated area. Depending on the area of country you are in, this is a reality.

Not if your butt is already bubbly and big. I already have tons to spare, I don't need it to get even fatter lol

Are you Italian too? Cause same here.

Try having morning bus duty in an affluent Long Island town standing in front of the circle where the buses go in the morning (and NO cars are allowed in for that reason) reminding parents that no, they cannot pull their car into the bus circle to drop their children off AS buses are rolling in around you. Everyone…
