I’m not exactly sure what your point is...? I know what the purpose of restraint training is, and when it should be used. I also know that I SHOULD have been trained, given my reassignment, and REQUESTED to be trained. I was denied (or well, told that the next course wouldn’t be for another 3 months, which was…

I’m sorry. I just choked on my quesadilla. Yes, I have tried that. No, it does NOT taste/satisfy the same way. Sorry, not going to cut it. I respect other people’s decision to become vegan or eat how they would like. However, it would be disingenuous to pretend that vegan cheese is the same thing as regular cheese.…

Let’s back up first: the poster I was replying to said where do we draw the line, what if a kid pulls down their pants and starts shitting on the floor (paraphrased). He was giving a ridiculous example and potentially trolling, so my post was in response to his. I have a feeling that you and I agree.

However, back to…

I love meat, don’t get me wrong, but CHEESE is 100% the reason why I could never be vegan. Cheese = <3 Sweets don’t do it for me, dessert is meh, but cheese makes me so happy, I swear.

Really? Consider yourself lucky. I recently rekindled with an old coworker/friend of mine, and her Facebook newsfeed is LITTERED with vegan memes about how horrible anyone is who would eat meat/ever kill an animal. She commented on my check in for a family member’s birthday at a steakhouse. I am trying SO VERY HARD…

Any school age child (either elementary or high school) who takes their clothes off and shits on the floor has some special needs and is NOT a typical gened student. I am a teacher. I am special ed certified as well. And guess what? You do not THROW A KID ACROSS A FUCKING ROOM, especially one with needs in your…

Teacher here. Common Core and current education reform is really an endgame to privitize the US Education system (Just like they did with prisons) and dismantle local control. Hedge funds and charter schools have a STRONG link.

I feel like I’m fighting an uphill battle every day.

Except my iphone and ipod never skipped and didn’t eat batteries.

...why don’t they put that shit on airplane mode during class?

Yes, Fairy Lice Mothers.

Apostrophe in the last name here. Not the SAME problem, but the same character issue. My NYS license doesn’t have the apostrophe. Really, NY? You’ve got enough of us Italians, here. I never know how to spell my last name whenever people ask at places, because it’s a game of does your computer system recognize the…

Oh fuck no. My mother’s maiden name was Kohutich. She couldn’t WAIT to get rid of it. My last name is Italian with lots of vowels, an apostrophe, and capital letters afterwards. I adore it, and am very thankful that she took my father’s last name.

I’m a teacher, I have 33 students, and I’ve done this by accident. It’s not passive aggressive, but especially in the very beginning of the year, I’ve made that mistake before :( I hope that no one ever thought I was expressing my disapproval.

I heard this season departs (hehe, no, but really) from the book.

*hugs* <3

Sitting on a grand jury, or as I like to call it, 5 days a week for four straight weeks of absolute emotional torture. I’m told we had a rough case load. Anyway, I may or may not have had to listen, in graphic detail, to a testimony involving sexual assault. While I have never personally been raped, it was INCREDIBLY…

My boyfriend’s mother is from Norway, and ohhhh God. No. You don’t mean the lutefisk? *shudders*

No fry was EVER better than the McDonald’s fries of our past that were fried in beef fat. RIP, old McD’s fries. I wish you would come back.

The mirror on my dresser in my bedroom is the same way. I’m 5’2” and I cannot actually use it as a useful mirror, because I’m so short and my bedroom set is a bit taller than average. I have a full length mirror in my bedroom for this very reason.

lol I’m 5’2” and I pretty much have to climb into my bed because it’s so high. I need a running start.
