Exactly. Kanye doesn’t need meds; everyone ELSE needs meds.

Doesn’t matter anyway. People suffering from true Narcissitic Personality Disorder won’t listen to, “No, human adults don’t act like that, stop it.” They will hear “Whomp whomp whomp, I am jealous of you, you are amazing, whomp whomp whomp, please project mental disorders onto me and try to make me feel inferior in an…

Or you can have the best of both worlds: migraines every time you have your period once a month AND cramps. The cramps went away with birth control, though. The migraines have not.

I’m on birth control, so I don’t really get the cramps that I used to when I was younger. It does work for me. However, I STILL get a migraine every month like clockwork, which is awful in the sense that all I want to do is lay in a dark room with NO light, noise, or stimuli of any kind and die. I also teach...so it’s…

Having worked at Disney World (Yeah, I know. National Parks > Disney World), a place with EXCELLENT SIGNAGE ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE, I can attest to this fact. People just a) Don’t read signs b) Somehow lose their brain when in tourist mode/upon entering any tourist destinations and c) Read the signs, but don’t…

I teach in NY, and we don’t have AC in our classrooms. In Sept/Oct and May/June I pretty much have to shower TWICE a day. My dresses are actually damp with sweat when I peel them off. It is disgusting. A shower never felt so good. It is the FIRST thing I do upon entering my apartment. In the winter, though? Holy shit.…

I’m a teacher, and he has a point; It’s not just a higher education thing. *side eyes two complete class sets of brand new Common Core aligned math programs for fifth graders in her classroom that we are no longer using* Fuck. Did I just agree with Kanye West? FUCK. In all seriousness though, those publishers make a…

You can have more than 4, too. I didn’t believe my boyfriend when he had tooth pain and proclaimed this after returning from the dentist. Had to Google it.

Everyone is different. All 4 of mine were impacted, and I was down and out for a few days. Hit me HARD. My sister had the same deal and was at the mall shopping the next day. Both of us were put under.

My doctor asks me about teaching, and we’ve bonded over being Italians and having Italian fathers/dating italians/etc. We’ve discussed her kids, too. She sees my entire family, and I’ve been her patient for probably a decade. I adore her, and even though I moved, I still drive out of my way to see her.

Oh, you’re not in the states? Ignore what I said then :)

PISA scores are bullshit, and you’re an idiot. Keep drinking the kool aid. One fifth of all NYS children who were eligible to take the grades 3-8 ELA and Math state test opted out last year. Twenty freaking percent of the state. Good luck winning the war. If you think that it’s normal to remind kindergartners of…

Teacher here. That’s totally happening, and if the school does Common Core, it’s extremely likely. They shifted all the standards, and kindergarten is NOTHING like it used to be. No naptime. No creative play. First grade reading levels are now kindergarten reading levels. It’s absolutely infuriating.

With Common Core, that’s a real possibility. They have shifted everything. What used to be 1st grade reading levels are now kindergarten reading levels. School is a lot different than it was when we were kids. I teach elementary school...and a lot of the kindergarteners having epic meltdowns are the ones who didn’t go…

Bad admin ruin EVERYTHING.

It’s VERY difficult to expell in a public school. Hell, it’s difficult to even retain a kid in NY. On Long Island, it pretty much doesn’t happen.

The best part of this to me is that I used to work at Disney World, and fucking EVERYTHING is an acronym. You wind up speaking in complete acroymns and abbreviations to your fellow CMs. Oh, I’m sorry, Cast Members. Whenever I walked into work at ECGR, I’d clock into CDS and hope that my ER would be granted. (Epcot…

You’d be tired, too, if you knew half of what I deal with on a daily basis. It’s apparent that you haven’t got a clue what is going on right now. Common Core ridiculousness has nothing to do with parental pressure. When schools are telling KINDERGARTENERS to be college and career ready, the pressure isn’t coming from…

Not really in New York. I always noticed this was a big thing in Florida when I lived there, but still not in NY at all. Wonder if it’s regional?

Because removing wallpaper is a fucking bitch.
