On the one about doggy day care, it reminds me of that story where a girl babysat a kid while the parents were at work and when they got home the baby was about to go to sleep and then the girl got fired when the baby’s first word was her name
Yup. Want a bond with you kid? Be with your kid. Duh? And then there are working moms who brag about how much money their husbands make, complain about being out of touch with and missing their kids, admit they are working because they like to buy "toys", and then totally freak out when told they are trading "toys" for their children. Bunch of selfish losers.

Last postings are very true. Trade schools, and community collages, are a fading opportunity. We need trade skills in the U.S. They provide practical, skills that we need. Sadly our society looks down on these jobs.
It's not just "looks down on" in the states. If you get injured what skills are transferable? Your career is over and you _might_ qualify for benefits depending on circumstance. If not you're back to square one, older and limited probably with a family or payments. Companies that exist within the trades tend to be exclusionary. Everything from manufacturing to plumbing/electrical to agriculture are not welcoming to outsiders or those they perceive as "smarter", assuming they'll take advantage of them or look down on them (in my experience). The social infrastructure simply doesn't exist (anymore) to support trade families in the mainstream. Also, sexism. There may not be many females willing to do hard and dirty labor, but those that are and fight for it are still subjected to workplace harrassment or prejudice (and the men equally fear being targeted). If we want to support the trades we need to change not only the perspective but also the culture surrounding it and support infrastructure.
Forgot the best part, he quoted her writing “ Can you feel earthquakes in a helicopter “ on the top of the board with all the other dumb shit kids said throughout the year
The whole thing about college being overpriced and getting your degree can't find jobs is true. My marine biology teacher went to 2 ivy colleges and landed her a public school and she later left after I graduate. She found a job at Hawaii for awhile and moved to Japan is now working there and the houses there are cheap. She loves staying there she ended up adopting a pair of twins one has a mild form of autism and the other is blind. The foster care is actually better there than here.
The chess story reminds me of a story told by Chuck Jones the great animation director. His Father was always giving his kids art supplies from his failed businesses. He told the kids, you have to do about a million bad drawings before you start doing the good ones. He insisted only one picture per piece of paper. What if you do a masterpiece on each side of the paper? How could you display both? The kids used a lot of paper.
Totally agree with his method. Self teaching sewing, and kept using garbage fabric to make some new thing. Invariably it would turn out great. But in rubbish cheap fabric. Lesson learnt.
@@Kayenne54 Self-teaching can also have paydirt with unorthodox method. Old time jazz guy Bix Beiderbecke was self-taught on cornet and his fingering puzzled most other brass players who had standard teaching. His playing was fluid, beautiful and used the third valve a lot. Nearly 90 years after his death his playing still amazes even if you don't know anything about brass!
*Okay. I typed this up very quickly without & any real context. If you understand the context, feel free to skip ahead.😊 I will try to get my shit together today and publish on Wattpad today. I had no idea there was an interested audience. I was writing these comments and stories for my kids and to get to get them off my chest. Thank for bearing with me. My family has owned and operated a bailbond agency for over 80 years, somewhere in the vast, dry Borderlands of the U.S. I was 3 days old when my my mom took me into the filthy, run down ancient relic (Around 300 years old.) of a jail and courthouse, taken out of the watchful eyes of my mother, and passed hand to hand to every last LEO, Clerk, Judge, and Dispatcher in the building. I grew up in the old spawling adobe. Quite literally. Best. Childhood. EVER. My parents were very hard workers, and most of the time, mom worked the business AND the a second job. My dad, much older than my mom, also worked for the post office and still carried the business until he retired when I was 10 from the post office. I knew they finally felt the fruits of their labors had paid off at last. They thought they could finally breath. It wasn't meant to be. Less than 2 years after he essentially took over the business and parenting responsibilities, so my mom could go back to college and work, he died very suddenly. I had just turned 12. My mom had to leave college, doubling down on the business, expanding it, while working a full time State job. If you're following along with the math at home, yeah that's unsustainable and something had to give almost immediately. I had already been nearly raised by my jailhouse family almost exclusively from ages 0-5, before school and until 9-10 each night, so they were not only close, beloved friendsand in retrospect the only reason thomework by cops, deputies, jailers and the odd criminal. (I don't THINK my parents ever let the criminals babysit, but who knows? Maybe that's why I got my mad-paperclip-lockpick-skillz!😎🖇🔓💋💅) My favorite deputy, (probably my favorite person in the world too) was helping me do my basic geometry homework one Autumn afternoon, somewhere between age 10-12. Another deeply cherished yet ethically questionable memory of my childhood..... He told: "Okay, it's easy to remember horizontal vs just remember whores work laying down, on their backs. "WHORE-IZONTAL!!!" He was so gleefully pleased with himself. He was always that way, and it was infectious. It's stuck like gum all these years later, I got to give him that. Maybe a little too much. He died, WAY too young, now oftentimes when I see or hear either the word horizontal or just plain old whore, I think about him and sometimes it catches me like a punch to the gut.😓 Or I just kinda wonder aloud if the sex workers in my hometown were either pretty uninspired, or just lazy. My mom just HATES that. Dear mom: When you let EVERYONE else in town parent your children, especially at a working jail, don't be surprised if you get a mixed bag of results.🤷♀️ from your
What an amazingly fascinating childhood! And how boring it would have been, if only one person did the parenting? Its like when you buy a random jar of buttons, from a thrift shop. You'll never know what treasures you'll find :-) Look back in wonder and gratitude, that you had so many diverse people mentoring you. You were LUCKY!! A rich grab bag of memories.
@@Kayenne54 thank you! I was being a tad dramatic, I LOVED my upbringing, I LOVE my unique friends and I wouldn't trade in for anything in the world. I'm actually writing a book about on Wattpad about my life and childhood, some of the stories are comical, as above, some are scary, some are sweet, some are heartbreaking, but I hope people appreciate a glimpse into a my strange and rich journey. 😁
That first question is ADHD 100% that kid has already developed some amazing coping skills but unfortunately the teacher still didn't catch it. That kid seems smart and with the internet hopefully he finds out he has ADHD as young as he can and lean into it because let me tell you making it to 35 and being recently diagnosed is pretty heavy
Hi Mike. From a guy who is easily distracted by shiny things. (Thoughts are shiny things.) A trick that sometimes helps. I say "Focus, focus, focus." I say it a lot. Sometimes helps. This is me. Every one is not the same as me. Get a magnifying glass. Go burn your name into a board with the sun. That is what you can do with focus. Peace.
Tell me more about the shark idea. Q1, What kind of shark? Q2, Is the pond fresh water or salt water? Q3, Is there food for that type of shark in the pond? Q4, How deep is the pond? Q5, Is the pond stagnant or does the water get cycled? Q6, Is the pond located in a climate where the pond will freeze?
My science teacher has riddles on the board and one day the riddle said What starts with T ends with T and has T in it? My mind went to tater-tot and so when I told him my answer he just stopped looked at the riddle and goes that works I guess but not what I’m looking for (Won’t spoil actual answer if you want to actually guess)
I'm ususally not the Sharpest Tool in the shed but. One time in English class we were talking about mythical creates. No body was able to guess the plural term for Pegasus. I was the only one that said "pegasi" They were so shocked when I told them how I knew it. My Little Pony. Even the teacher was surprised with that.
Amazing stuff here ... but I do have a question (maybe a bit off-topic) about the student whose mother “shot themselves in the hand - is that really how the student described it: “My mother shot themselves in the hand”? I’m trying to make sense of what it must be like to be someone who knows the word “themselves” without knowing the word “herself.”
21:20 Problem this teacher is identifying is the difference between native intelligence and life skills comprehension. Academic intelligence is NOT the same as survival intelligence. Is what I'm saying. And common sense only makes sense to those who have the experience in common. Life skills are totally different to the lessons taught at school. Usually. A child forced fed through the academic system to achieve excellence may not know how to ride a bike or tie his shoelaces or catch a bus. Whereas a child at the bottom of that scholastic ladder may know all those things, but struggle with math. Doesn't mean either of them is more intelligent than the other. Just different skills. Having access to greater resources through your developmental years may give you an edge, but doesn't mean you are smarter. The measurements for "intelligence" really need to be more lateral.
Former student here. I am smart,in some ways,like good at logical thinking,time managenent. Trivia. Those kinds of things. Because im deaf,i had one teacher,mrs.cope,in 5th grade,basically refuse to teach me.
i had a math exam my sophmore year in highschool and I couldn't figure out how they were using the work to explain the answer,so I just did a way that I knew was right withought having to show much work but enough to show i did work and ended up getting a high b instead of like an f
