#thank you teacher gift

[anaalnathrakhs]

i feel it's so fucking stupid and ungrateful but it still hurts a little when someone gifts me something i just don't like. i don't know. i know it's dumb and inaccurate to astrain that much meaning to a simple gift, but it feels kinda like they don't know me. i guess it feels like people don't see me, like a reminder that the person i reflect and the person i feel like are incredibly different.

Ok story time

I am making a temperature blanket. For those unfamiliar, it is a knitted or crocheted blanket in which colours are assigned to the temperature outside. Every day, you crochet/knit a certain amount in the colour that corresponds to that day's temperature.

I am creating this, rather strangely, for my physics teacher (he puts up with far too much of my bullshit and I have been assured by many people that a blanket is a reasonable gift). It's a nice gift, it's a representation of the year's climate, it's thoughtful.

Slight problem though.

It's 7'6" wide.

That's uhh... 2.3 meters... :/

This is a very reasonable gift and a lasting memory of putting up with my bullshit.

When I was in elementary school our Talented and Gifted program was called “Flight” (as in like soaring to great heights or whatever, idk don’t ask me), and I think the fondest memories of my entire child/tween years were in that little room in another school (and then another little room in middle school).

No matter who we were or who we hung out with outside of that class, for an hour each day we just chatted and laughed at/with each other and learned together. No one was “popular” or “cool”-- we were all just a bunch of nerds that liked to chatter constantly.

That Flight class taught me to give speeches/presentations, to work hard and not give up when I didn’t know something, and to just reach for the goddamned stars. It taught me that it wasn’t such an awful thing to be different, and that the way I saw the world didn’t make me any lesser than the neurotypical kids my age.

This sounds like a total exaggeration, but i genuinely think that class saved my life. There were so many issues that Mrs. Penn (the T&G teacher a few years ago) helped me through and taught me how to navigate, and I owe literally all of my achievements to being taught to be resilient and confident in my intelligence and potential. Being a “gifted” kid sucked/still sucks sometimes, but I couldn’t imagine ever knowing myself to be any different.

Someone insisting we don't learn language intuitively unless homeschooled...Did...did your parents put in you in school at 18 months of age? Did a teacher go around a room of toddlers with a dictionary saying, "This is what 'mama' means"? Because if the answer to that is no--and it is definitely no--you learned language intuitively, like everyone else. The finer points you learn in school, and later on your own, but even as you're doing that, you're still picking up words and phrases just by talking to people and reading.

neighbor just came by to give me a gift because my unemployed ass was here to receive all of their packages for the entire year

a thing that irks me about wgxn as lsz's Best Parents Ever and lsz himself calling them his fathers iiiis that aren't... parents and basically ancestors... kinda important in chinese culture? yknow, like *gestures at some of the characters' complicated relationships w/ their parents, their legacy and last wishes*? lsz discovers he's a wen and doesn't immediately go "ah well, doesn't matter, they were Problematic and i feel more like a lan anyway", but rather goes to the nighless city with wn to bury the ashes of their family and build a cenotaph for wq. that means he still wants to honor his ancestry, especially since he's the last surviving member of his clan. would lsz just... conveniently forget about all that -- about his parents, whoever they were, who died in the war -- for lwj? hm

Day Ninety-One

Today was the last day of the semester, which means it was the last day of APGOV. A few of my students brought me gifts and thank you cards, as well as college banners to add to my classroom collection (I pin them below my whiteboard). That was really sweet.

They'd had all semester to find a way to participate in the political process, so today they shared what they'd done and what they learned from it. Some had gone to local board meetings, others to presidential candidates' campaign events, others to issue forums. It was really neat to hear all about their experiences and what they'd learned, and it's a good way to end class because it celebrates the fact that they got out there and got involved- and hopefully will continue to do so! The best thing the eighteen-year-olds said to me was that they were carpooling to their local polling places with their friends to vote for the first time as soon as their classes were over.

It's pretty cool that their last day in my class was the day of the NH primary.

It's a tradition of mine to write a letter to deliver one last lesson and say goodbye to my GOV students, which, somehow, none of them had heard about, so I got to surprise them with them with that. A few read what I'd written right away, a few said they'd cry if they did that, and that probably would have made me cry, too! It's not really goodbye, though, because one of the congressmen who's a longtime friend of the class is coming to visit tomorrow, so these students are going to stick around one more day (with permission from their second semester teachers), along with my new students, to talk to him.

So that'll be fun.

Meantime, in Global Studies, I attempted to teach the same thing I'd taught yesterday, just to the other two sections. I say "attempted" because, while it went totally well in the first section, the fire alarm went off during the second.

Obviously, that was not planned, and now they're a bit behind. I'll get them caught up, though!

Hi Mr. Gaiman,

not really an ask, but I just really wanted to say thank you for creating Good Omens together with Terry because it gave me just about the most bizarre interaction that I have ever had: I was so excited that I started to talk about GO with anyone that would listen. One day at school, I was talking to my friend about it and my science teacher overheard our conversation so he went up to us and said: 'Oh you like Good Omens too? I'm a big fan of the writers' And he proceeded to tell me that he still had some of Terry's books that he had been collection since he was a kid that needed a new home, and so he offered to give me those books (and of course I said yes). A few lessons later he pulled me aside and said: 'Remember when I told you that I still had some Pratchett books...? Well I might have underestimated it a bit' He proceeds to show me two full sized big shopping bags filled to the brim with Terry's books. I was totally flabbergasted. So I went home to the best of my ability with two very heavy bags and started to organize them all...

Turns out that my teacher had gifted me 57 Terry Pratchett books (Including a 2nd edition of GO, which I was very happy with). So now I've got enough reading material for quite some time. Thanks again for creating such a wonderful story that was (somewhat) indirectly responsible for me having back-pain after carrying the backbone of the fantasy genre in two shopping bags.

That put a huge smile on my face.
