Does anyone ever feel like they need to wear an adult diaper while teaching? I'm about seven months pregnant, and I can't take bathroom breaks as often as I need to. So, I've started wearing one of these diapers, and even though I don't think anyone notices, it is a little embarrassing to me.

I just go. I put my phone on record and tell the kid that is always in trouble that he is in charge. Then I go. I always get a doctor’s note at the beginning of the year. I get one for that and for tennis shoes and must be allowed to rest throughout the day because of foot and leg pain. That way if I have to go…I go. And if I need to sit…I sit. And they can’t do. Dang thing about it

You know what, do what you have to do. Pregnancy is so hard on the body, and anyone with a shred of empathy will understand that. You've got no reason to be embarrassed.

I wore them for a while my last year of teaching due to illness. They helped, but I was uncomfortable until I found a very light pullup brand. I also wore long dresses or jeans a lot.

I did this during my pregnancies. I was always paranoid about accidents. Middle schoolers can be brutal.

Please take bathroom breaks regularly throughout the day. Get a teammate or office staff to cover your class. During my two decades of being a classroom teacher (I am still teaching but not in the classroom), I (unfortunately) did not follow my own advice and ended up with kidney disease which has shortened my life expectancy by +/- 12 years. No job is worth this outcome. Please take care of your personal needs first before considering the needs of anything else. Especially a job.

Really struggling with a few students in my kindergarten class this year and looking for suggestions. I've been teaching K for 10 of the 16 years I've been a teacher, and have never felt as disrespected by students as I do this year. Several students continually talk, yell, and laugh over me, or make noises when I am talking. They are sent away from the group to reset and make a better choice, but usually continue when they return. Parent contact has been supportive, but hasn't helped.

I have got Gurgaon as base location in offer letter. But since I lost a parent(my father) and relocating is kind of not possible for me at this moment can I ask them to relocate me to Kolkata?

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?
