Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Boarding school. Have accomodation for staff to live on campus (so 3 minute walk to work).
School. Kids go on holiday means staff also go on holiday. Gaurenteed break every 10 weeks.
Staying long at a school. Seeing the shy year kid in year 8 grow up to be school captain. Complimenting the kids growth spurts every christmas break, and see how happy they look. Letting the nerdy kid who doesn't like sports borrow my kindle all term, and fly through Artemis AND Hail Mary in like 2 weeks max.
Sure there are some downsides. My funniest example is the 40 minute bus trip with everyone doing their best Alvin and the Chipmunks impression. A less funny one is I caught a chair a student threw at another student. (Caught in my hand. Not hurt). The students can be a handful at times. But I remember the happy days.
