  Yeah… 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.

  Talked 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.

  Peer 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.

  Hi! 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.

  Well, yes, it interrupts the class because every few minutes I have to stop him. The other lemmings have given me some great ideas

  He’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.

  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)

  I just want to access the websites my darling Government has decided I can’t see

  This is so interesting. Indeed my connection was slower, and I don’t need both VPNs, so thank you very much for your nice answer!

  I had never thought about connecting the router to a VPN… That could be an entertaining experiment for another day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when I run two VPNs on my computer?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! I had done it on purpose tho, I’m not having any problems.

  I’ll remember the command just in case!
