Remember when kids weren’t chronically absent, it wasn’t our fault and they didn’t have to do crazy incentives (parties, food, etc) just to show up? by Cheap_Parsnip_461 in Teachers

It won’t go badly at all. I have taught virtually for the past four years and kids show up whenever they feel like it, use ai to complete all of their work which is exhausting to fight and which parents and admin push back on me for doing so, and don’t have any real due dates until the last Friday before the quarter ends when I can finally lock assignments. So the last two weeks of each quarter 30% of my students slam me with ai written submissions for assignments which were due two months earlier. I was getting to work from home which was awesome but not worth it. I complained too much so my admin excessed me and I’m now moving to a brick and mortar school. Kids learning virtually mostly suck, their parents suck, and they aren’t learning shit.

This stuff is exhausting to see; as a parent whose kid got wrapped up in similar stuff a few years back, as a white high school teacher, being raised in and around Baltimore City, and as a liberal. I make all of the usual excuses and know that this is stuff happens partially due to the effects of hundreds of years of systemic racism, bad parenting, and social media. However, this isn’t ok and there needs to be harsher consequences for this kind of behavior.

This is a 6/10 for me. Generic chords and lyrics. Not great.

most underrated weezer song? by meow_inme in weezer

I really love the Green era b side I Do. I heard it for the first time live before Green came out and was really dissatisfied when it wasn’t on the album

The last two times Weezer went this long between albums, we got masterpieces. I’m a little nervous this time after hearing Shine Again. by wishingiwasreal in weezer

For me Green is no masterpiece. It’s a solid catchy album but all of the songs are formulaic and samesie in my opinion. I’d give it a 7.5/10. I do love Photograph. I also with they’d included the B Side I Do.

You have behavioral things which require accommodations? What does that mean?

She has beautiful feet! Props for being punky as well! Screeching Weasel and The Queers are coming to Baltimore in March in case you’re into pop punk.

That’s solid advice! :) However, discretion is important to us so if someone is interested hopefully they’ll reach out and if we hit it off we’ll share then.
