The weirdest thing about going to college for teaching in the united states is the giant CANYON of disconnect between what we're taught and what we actually do in a classroom.

like we're taught how to diversify methods of instruction in order to most equitably reach the diverse populations of our classrooms and inspire them to do their best writing/reading/speaking (im an English teaching major) but then in reality the students in your classroom are insanely below the level they need to be at in order to engage with age-appropriate lessons for them

we're taught how to take common core standards and transform them into meaningful and deep lessons but we're only given 45-90 mins of planning per day (if we're lucky) and the rest needs to be done outside of school or after hours if you can't do it quickly enough, and teachers are always expected to do research outside of the classroom, as well as collaboration, tweaking of lesson plans, etc.

we're told that students crave learning and they crave fun projects and they crave kinesthetic exercises, but then when I try those things in the classroom everyone complains and halfasses their participation, and im lucky if half of them actually pass something in, whether its an assignment, a test, a project, or an assessment.

we're told that we need to have open communication not only between teachers but between teachers and admin and parents, but then im lucky if one of the ten parents I email about their kid failing emails me back, and im luckier if admin takes a behaviorally disturbed student out of my class for insulting me or other students.

like... i guess my point is that teaching education is so idyllic and utopian, and actual classrooms are a goddamn nightmare of behavioral issues, lack of time/resources, exhausting interactions with students who don't want to be there or participate, and insane expectations from students, parents, and admin alike.

Like... no wonder the teaching field is hemorrhaging teachers right now. How can ANYONE work under the insane conditions we're forced to try and teach in. I'm so tired and I'm not even out of school yet. It's actually psychotic.

#education #teaching #english teaching #teaching issues #education issues #new hampshire education #ive had students verbally abuse me until ive had a breakdown #ive had dozens of students with a 10% or less for the semester #i had a student get arrested and he still got to graduate #somethings gotta give or nobody will want to teach anymore #this is actually insane the amount we're expected to do #im sick of reading the same 5 things in all my textbooks #like clearly this shit isn't actually preparing me for what its really like #this is for teaching like... the best of the best students #what about inner city kids?? #cause thats where i live #and its a fucking nightmare #what am i supposed to do with my degree now honestly #im so tired #anyways #rant over

red life might stream again by @alyxmastershipper | 15 chapter buddie fantasy au | read on ao3

[9 out of 15 chapters complete]

The continent of Edrus is split into five countries, one for each species. Kyran belongs to the fae, Midrahi belongs to the humans, Vahlan belongs to the shapeshifters, Raelia belongs to the sari, and Dwerva belongs to the daemons. For centuries the five species have lived separately and somewhat peacefully. No one is allowed into a country that is not their home country, with the exception of members of the Order and traders chosen by each ruling government.

One tragic event brings together unlikely allies Eddie, fae soldier from Kyran, and Buck, human prince and future king of Midrahi. Together, along with their friends, they must uncover a dark secret about their world that has been hidden for too long, fight to keep one another alive, and work against an evil empire that has been hiding in the shadows ready to enslave any who don't bend to its will.

In the midst of crumbling kingdoms and dark masters, Eddie and Buck find something extraordinary together, but will they survive long enough to build something that lasts or will it all come crashing down around them?

AHHHHHH

#this post brought to you by: me #i. applied for a preapproval letter for a mortgage yesterday. and spoke to a realtor to start finding me houses #i want to move several states away which further complicated things. but the houses there are CHEAP #like under 100k for a 2 bedroom move in ready #anyways i got approved for 80k with a 20k down payment. and im FREAKING THE FUCK OUT #and because i got that pre app letter i have a loan officer calling me today to talk #and we literally work at the same bank so i can SEE that hes active and hasnt read my message #even though its been 45 minutes. KEVIN MESSAGE ME BACK. IM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FOCUS UNTIL I DO THIS CALL #AHHHHHHH S C R E A M. it might happening!!!! i might be finally.mov8ng out in a few months!!! #i mgiht be a HOMEOWNER by the end of the year #i have been saving money for this since i was. 16? 17? #ive had a good well paying job since i was 18. #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #once i have a house then i start job searching in that area. and start getting really serious about LEAVING my very good job #which is soooo scary. this job was supposed to be my lifelong career. but then everyone fucking moved to other states and left me behind #so theres no point staying here. #i might never have this kind of job security again. #but also my realtor said that theres a lot of bank jobs in that area so maybe itll be easy to find something #on the fence on if i tell my parents that im Making Moves right now #on one hand its hard to not talk about it becuae im STRESSED TF OUT #but on the other hand when i tentatively mentioned the state i want to move to #richard started yelling and swearing el oh el #might be better to wait and avoid the tension as long as possible? #but also i dont know how they can stay angry when its literally my best option #the other places where my friends live either have 0 opportunity and high housing prices. or are even moe liberal than where im going #idk. why do half of my problems come down to “my parents will be mad” like im a 12 year old or something. shit fucking sucks #this is why i want to get out of here #also it feels weird and bad to talk to my friends about how stressed i am about buying a house when all of them are stressed about #not being able to make rent or something. my problems feel like a brag in a really odd and shitty way. but hey! #if this works out maybe ill start being stressed about how im going to make my mortgage payments! :') yay!

Man it does suck that ITNL keeps having such long hiatuses. Like it really isn't normal for me to completely disappear for a month or two (or three+) at a time with my writing. I just keep having to deal with all these fucking DEATHS. Wish I wasn't going on so many hiatuses, either.

#speculation nation #my cat my uncle my grandma's best friend and the biggest of all My Fucking Dad #i have so many things i want to get to with ITNL. so many things im excited for. #but i just cant deal with the heavy subject matter right now. even if i did have time to write. #ive been reading some fics but Specifically primarily lighthearted ones. #cant do anything too dark. im normally a hurt/comfort bitch but Not Right Now. #im just trying to get by. writing my serious piece will have to wait.

#i was looking through old photos today. they where from wjen i was like 1 and it made me so sad #bc my mum would have been like only a year or 2 older then i am now and she looked so young #and now she has an abdomen full of tumors and blistered hands and feet. theyre prob gonna hsve to remove her bladder #but shes still very pragmatic abt it. but she grew up in a house where no one really cared about her feelings so she made them small #and now her mother calls and doesn't ask how her grandkids are doing and doesn't ask how her daughter is doing. im cursed with terrible #grandparents on both sides but i resent my mothers mother worse. though my dad said i probably wouldnt have survived his upbringing #and hes right. my nana has like zero empathy and cant cook for shit. idk how my parents r so normal but the fact i had a good upbringing is #probably the only reason im still here. and thats the other thing that made me sad abt the old pics. just looking at this little baby with a #fucked up head and thinking: in 25 years that kid is gonna b so broken down their not gonns kno what to do or how to fix it. idk whats wrong #with me. ive always been some stage of miserable but i used to b able to get things done. and now i cant seem to force functionality #and it sucks. bc im home now and i still feel like im cringing around this open wound in my chest. but whatever #as of today ive started taking ab1lify. hopefully it helps in the long term but in the short term it triggers my 0cd. which is not fun #its so frustrating. whatever. i also found out my eyes used to not work together. not enough to have a lazy eye but it was hard for me to #read and apparently my eyes were tracking at like double the speed of a normal person. wtf is wrong with my brain? also also my mum was like #yea i never would have guessed bip0lar but we thought it was something. autism i could see 100% but yea didnt see that coming. ao i guess #i brehave like a bit of an oddball. ans my nana would bother my dad to try to make me participate in church and my dad was like no. she #clearly don't wanna b here lol. ay. they did the best they could which i appreciate #unrelated

[milfygerard]

there was a weird phase for awhile on this site where everyone pretended that gerard was like a shitty mid tier comic writer and like. You guys dont read enough comics. you dont know what bad comics look like.

#barry.txt #of course im wildly generalizing people are allowed to not like gerards comics #but some of it felt like grandstanding and it completely drowned out and kind of killed any interest ppl had in actually discussing them #either as art connected to mcr or totally seperately #and then that fucking show happened. #like the opposite of the doom patrol adaptation. Dragged down every character and fandomized them #so the fandom didnt have to try and do it themselves #stripped it of its satire and creativity. I liked s2 well enough but it bungled the dallas arc and it sounds like #s3 was even worse. which is INSANE bc hotel oblivion is some of gerards best work in comics #bc like. tua is a comic fans comic. in tone and structure and art. Like i enjoy it way more now that ive put a lot of #time into learning and reading more classic AND contemporary comics. Now i see what gerard is pulling from #what hes mocking or homaging. The kirby-esque coloring in hotobv when spaceboy and diego are in the Not Starship Enterprise #augh #anyway i have more to say but i need to check out a book and go groccery shoppjng ive been loitering in the library for like an hour #which is so funny bc i didnt even get to my actual point which is some of you havent read a lot of bad or mediocre comics #you didnt read the kupperburg doom patrol run before grant took over. ive seen things

Mothwing's Secret Diagnosis: A

Holy shit that was good. Definitely my favorite novella as of this point. The way both Mothwing and Hawkfrost are characterized here is so good and does such a good job of humanizing the both of them, Hawkfrost especially. I like how Hawkfrost starts off the book being sympathetic to Mothwing, and then in his last appearance he's depicted as haggard, depraved, and insane from his time in the Dark Forest to the point that he just can't listen to Mothwing anymore. It's such a devastating comparison.

I also love how Mothwing's journey with StarClan is presented. In any other scene, the writers would wrench the protagonist's mouth to be like "Wowie StarClan was so cool and justified and good for this actually", but Mothwing sees through their bullshit and doesn't rely on them for her work. She still doesn't do the prophecy thing and that's okay. She accepts that it helps her clanmates and that Willowshine can take care of things. She even resents StarClan for taking the credit for her healing. And I especially love that it's Hawkfrost's decayed spirit that breaks her there. She hates StarClan for letting this happen to her brother and letting things get this bad. And that's a REALLY good place to take a medic in my opinion.

Not gonna lie, this is the first book in my readthrough where I just had a good time in each chapter. Ravenpaw's Farewell and Pebbleshine's Kits were good but they both had chapters that felt like padding or just unnecessarily meanspirited moments. Mothwing's Secret is about how clan culture decayed her relationship with her brother and warped him into a monster and slowly broke her and at no point does Mothwing stop and go "actually this is all good and fine". It's played as the tragedy it is and that's just really good. Augh.

#things that keep it from an A+ are the very clear attempts to minimize the mothpool scenes #and mothwing being like ''oh starclan isnt real... but if they are i hope they arent mad at me :('' no no erin hunter COMMIT #mws liveread #ok. ive read a lot today so if things go well... ill finally start shattered sky tomorrow #took a good long break from the main arc but now we're diving back in baby. and into the one ppl say is the best one #... only 3 books into this 6 book arc. im so fucking scared you guys

PLEASEE POST A NEW CHAPTER OF THE SUGAR DADDY FIC I AM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES 😭😭😭😭😭

Updating All These Nights tonight and then Sugar is next to be updated, promise promise.

#ask #sugar daddy fic #i have been in a writing rut that is known #so i needed to work out some more canon stuff to get the voices back yk? hence updating the other fic first #but also i still feel like the last chapter fell off hard cos i got like no comments #which i know is like 'who cares' but i think i majority switched the style (like for myself) last chapter and i really like it but #if people didnt respond to it #im a little stumped on where to go #(again not in the story but style-wise) #people do not respond to long chapters? people dont respond to the dennis chapters? too much time wasted on sex? idk im #yeah like just a little lost on what people enjoy in the story and what i should gut/cut down on i guess #cos last chapter is hands down my favourite ive written #content wise its close to 6.. #but style-wise i know its so fucking long but i thought it flowed really well and god i love exploring dennis' weird relationship with sex #but to me like only 4 people finished that chapter #to clarify. in my head there are literally only max 10 people who read this thing #and 2 of them are my random friends who arent in this fandom and just want to read what im writing #and neither of them bothered with a 27k chapter.. lol #so im stumped trying to pace the writing and rework how i thought it would go #cos i dont know what people enjoy in the fic!!! and seemingly did not respond to in what i thought was the best chapter so far.. lmfao #sorry you caught me on 30hrs awake and way too much coffee
