Make them sit in their rooms in silent and do their homework alone
Side with the teacher and not get your child’s side of the story
Tell them that their grades are the most important thing they should worry about
INSTEAD:
Ask if they’re having trouble with other students or teachers
Sit down with them and help them with what they don’t understand
Speak calmly instead of yelling
Don’t invade their privacy by looking through their devices
Don’t take away their hobbies as punishment
Never make them feel unsafe or unable to trust you
This has been a message from a struggling high school junior that wishes their own parents actually did this stuff.
Bonus: Don’t look through their freaking backpacks. Chances are they know damn well they have loads of unfinished papers and the stress of knowing is so overwhelming they don’t even wanna look at it.
I had a teacher in junior year in hs that assigned us to do 100 hours of community service each (idk why, had nothing to do with physics), then didn’t tell us that he was putting that into the grades immediately, so by week 3 everyone was failing bc no one started it yet. My parents didn’t listen to my side at all while explaining it, and nearly beat the living snot out of me. So yeah plz boost this post
Also in this scene they made poc dress as the natives too the white kids were the pilgrims, excluding Wednesday, and the nerdy boys. Wednesday acknowledged her privilege and shut that shit down.

Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)
To anyone interested in the site but can’t afford to donate, there are a few users in the replies who are offering to give away extra registration keys that they’ve purchased! And if you are someone who has extra links you aren’t using, you might want to reply to this post so others who are looking for links can find you. 🙂
2015: glitch that basically let people fuck with post formatting and everything looked like this
2018: staff ignored the spambot problem for like years at this point and the app was removed from the app store as a result of the site being absolutely fucking laden with spambots, which finally motivated them to do something about it, resulting in a hastily made protocol to detect bots utterly failing and deleting half of the sites userbase

I’m not sure whether to be charmed or horrified… I mean it could be like a calico cat.
A foolish trainer, seeking to turn their pokemon into one with many strengths and no weaknesses, exposed an eevee (a pokemon known for a multitude of evolutionary possibility) to every evolutionary trigger imaginable, simultaneously. Thunder Stone. Water Stone. Fire Stone. I don’t know how they managed to do this in multiple locations at once, during a simultaneous bright sunny day and dark night, but they sure did, somehow. They even manipulated the poor creature into trusting them as their best friend. At first, the trainer was shocked by what they’d created, but also delighted that their experiment had been successful… until they remembered one crucial detail: A single pokemon can only learn four moves. Disappointed, the trainer turned on their supposed “best friend” and released them back into the wild.
Now, this poor amalgamate pokemon wanders the world, searching for… companionship? Acceptance? Someone who might teach them to trust in humans again? A purpose?
