Isn’t a large part of violence from children in schools a result of parental negligence and lack of third spaces for children?

I’ve heard a lot of teachers having difficulty communicating with parents on how to address issues with their children’s education. Not just with violence but with how severely behind in the curriculum most of them seem to be. Kid’s that are years behind where they should be at their current grade.

Parents meet these concerns with a dismissive or hostile attitude, pushing for their children to be able to pass into the next grade regardless of how behind they are. The students come to class bolstered to have little respect for their teacher and act as they please.

And outside of the classroom these kids are limited to where they can go and what they can do. It’s expensive to have access to a third space in the real world unless your area is well funded to provide that. They resort to spending time online and that only partially addresses their developmental needs regarding socialization with others and what that entails. It can also reinforce negative traits if they find the wrong kind of guidance there.

The kids that want to learn and enjoy school are frustrated with this as well, not just the teachers. Any time I encounter a kid in online spaces they always have a lot to say about poor learning conditions and rampant vandalism in their schools from aggressive classmates. Many have expressed they are considered the smartest of their classes but they know they are average at best and yearn to see other students above their level to bounce ideas off of. They are also lonely because they can’t relate to their peers and have to resort to speaking to people online.

I’ve encountered the disruptive ones in these spaces as well and I always try to be mindful of the fact that they’re minds are not fully developed so immaturity is to be expected but they are concerning to be around. I can’t articulate it adequately here but it’s… more extreme? Perhaps these kids are hyping up their personal escapades but when I reflect it with the information the other children tell me it’s quite concerning…

It’s difficult to guide them towards better coping strategies for their boredom unless you somehow manage to gain their respect. I don’t want to babysit kids online but I’m finding I have to. If one of the rude kids comes to respect me and I just ignore their problematic behaviours then it feels like I’m enabling it. They need frequent guidance that I am not equipped nor feel comfortable to provide.

TLDR This feels like such a multifaceted problem from my perspective. The government has A LOT to address if they want to fix this problem.

Genuinely, why is this bad?

Banger

Microwaved potato with butter and salt.

Oatmeal porridge with an egg added.

Natto and cheddar cheese on toast.

Anything I make or eat really. Some things I remember getting visceral reactions from were:

PB + J sandwich with a slice of cheddar.

PB, Thai chili sauce, and tamari with tuna.

Milk with ice.

Non homogenized milk fat on a cookie.

Curry with oatmeal.

That’s horrible :(

Lmao what is that from?

Hopefully the 2 up for adoption can have a home together!

A whole new meaning to chicken scratch

I was also a brand new player when I started playing with friends- probably should have prefaced that.

I heard that your playstyle is matched with others of a similar kind, not sure how true it is…

But I found after a while of playing with my friends we encountered more friendly groups generally speaking. It took a few days but it’s pretty consistently fair games now. We still get our asses handed to us but it rarely leaves me feeling bad.

We’ve had situations where we establish we’re friendly with others and walk away only to hear the fellow friendlies being attacked. We always run back and wipe out the aggressive squad until that lobby is mostly full of nice people.

I’ve also found how you respond to being attacked can improve your situation. We’ve been downed and praised the enemy party for a fair fight (when applicable) and been defibbed as a group and moved on with our raid.

I play a support role in our squad and that seems to have upped our chances of staying alive long enough to defend ourselves and give the boot to rude players.

That’s cool, I never really deeply considered how important impulse control is in emotional regulation.

…Why did you have to be weird about it? q_q I was so excited too. . .

Similar situation for me here.

I’ve cut my hair a few times before and from what I can discern, a hairstylist or someone particularly interested in hair/beauty will notice if you’ve cut it yourself. Whether that matters to you is another thing.

I’ve noticed if you have long hair (past the shoulders) and there is a lot of it then you can hide any mistakes easier. Curly hair is also better at hiding mistakes. If it’s straight, short and more sparse then any cuts made will be more noticeable and thus any mistakes will be more obvious. If you go very short and have to use a shaver to get closer to the skin then it can be tricky to keep everything even.

The more you do it the better you will get of course. At this point I feel fairly comfortable trimming my length but the first few times did not look very good. If your situation is such that appearances aren’t scrutinized severely then I don’t see the harm in trying to do it yourself.

Just make sure you cut your hair a little longer than you might want, that way if it looks really bad then you can go to a hairstylist and they have some length to work with.

Oh and something to note, my hairstylist knows about my sensory issues and they’re very accommodating. I was rather upfront about it, telling them something along the lines of “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have some sensory issues with haircuts. Is it possible we can address them before we get started?” I ended up sticking with the hairstylist that was the most understanding. It took a few tries but they’re great! We use unscented hair products, no heat styling (blow dryer or hair iron), tv’s are turned off, and we only really talk when it’s about the haircut.

The only reason I don’t see them that often anymore is the cost of services in general.

take my freaking updoot stranger

!_! I was wondering why that account looked off to me for a while…

Fingerless gloves?

Nice.

What a vibe!

This is a sign to finally play the game on my 3DS.
