No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth
2·7 months agoYeah… Parents noticed something wrong too and he’s being checked.
I have things for students of all ages that for whatever reason need to destroy stuff, and they know I’ll give them the item they prefer no questions asked (but I’m always there to listen to them). Before I figured out why those students were behaving the way they were, lessons were miserable.
One day I offered a girl a tray of used paper sheets to shred instead of the textbook and it changed my life lmaoo
This kid is not destructive, so my usual tactics don’t work. The bitter spray did, tho.

2·7 months agoTalked to the parents because this kid is known for doing weird/illogical stuff. They say that they know that something is not right and that they are trying to figure out what it is.
So till we know if the student has an issue or of he’s simply the Herald of Chaos, I will keep coating the pencils with bitter stuff.
Also, yes I have to beg for board markers and all the materials in my class have been paid by me, and I’d like them to last.

1·7 months agoPeer pressure would be a disaster. Kids are vicious creatures when they have the chance, and I know that several of his classmates are certified brats with a taste for blood.

2·7 months agoHi! So I suggested nail chewing deterrent to the boss, checked that the kids have no allergies, bought the deterrent in a pharmacy and coated all the pencils and part of one eraser (they stop working with the polish).
All it took was one lick (and OMG their faces), they didn’t put the pencils/eraser near their mouth again. I hope they remember the lesson next week lol. I coated all pencils so the kid I wrote the post about wouldn’t get targeted.
I watched the kid that has me particularly worried and he didn’t show interest in putting anything else in his mouth, nor did he have a change in attitude. Now that he isn’t licking stuff, he is somewhat more focused in class?? I have to keep watching.

51·7 months agoHe’s not chewing them. He’s putting them in his mouth whole. I don’t think he’ll choke, but other people want to use the eraser too. Yes I paid for them myself, as someone else guessed in the other answers.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL cows can suffer from fatal bloated stomachs. A way of treating it is by puncture and burning the released methane gas (to determine how much is remaining).English
14·9 months agoI appreciated the TIL by itself, but the video added a whole new dimension of “definitely, this is not what I was imagining”.
Thank you!

Well, they are heavily edited for sure. Lithops aren’t that bright. They survive by looking like rocks, not candy lmao.
But they are fun to grow (I have several)

Linux@lemmy.ml•Alright fine I admit it, I want to learn LinuxEnglish
4·10 months agoYou have received tons of useful responses, so I will not add more, except to tell you that the change is extremely worth it, easier than it seems and extremely entertaining.
I personally use Kubuntu (I love the KDE environment) and sometimes play Steam games by using Proton.
Good luck on your Linux journey!
I didn’t know this! It’s very interesting
I got Fantasy Life I and I can’t put it down, so that’s what I’m playing… For the foreseeable future









I finally started God of War!!! Got it on a sale and has been in my backlog, waiting for its moment to shine.
And I’m back to Fields of Mistria, because there’s an update due soon.
In the previous weeks (I forgot to participate): Expedition 33, Palworld and Baba is You.
