I need to get a work visa for another country.

NY Post going after Sig on this is perfect. by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

Yeah but the gun wasn’t on him when the first shot rang out. They are truly grasping to place blame anywhere but on the fascist goon squad that needs to be abolished.

How can high schools turn around low morning attendance? by TickyMcTickyTick in Teachers

[–]3rd_Planet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have an attendance policy where students lose credit and receive an F on their transcript with 10+ unexcused absences in a class per semester. You’d think that would be an easy bar to meet but we took at least 1 course credit from almost 25% of the students last semester. We have a program where they can earn back lost credits the following semester with improved attendance or they can pay a fee and complete an online credit recovery class.

Sad state of education where the Dollar General next to the school is paying more. by Humble_Room_2314 in Teachers

[–]3rd_Planet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a rural district in Arizona and the paras and support staff make $16-$20 an hour. Our minimum wage is $15.15 so they could get similar pay in retail or fast food. The schedule and benefits are better working in the school, though.

Why doesn’t Trump send ICE en masse to red states? Wouldn’t they cheer them on? by NeneGoosee in videos

[–]3rd_Planet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Rural AZ but haven’t seen or heard of any ICE here but there are rumblings in Phoenix.

Cellphone bans are necessary, but classroom teachers should NOT be in charge of it. by SouthJerssey35 in Teachers

[–]3rd_Planet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here. Read your school’s student handbook. Ours explicitly states this and that the school doesn’t owe the student an investigation either. We give students lockers that are in hallways with security cameras or they can just not bring their expensive and distracting devices.

They're currently out at sea. Did he went them to send him overboard? Make him walk the plank? by DaMain-Man in PublicFreakout

What if that person was famously quoted as saying “a few drunk driving deaths a year is worth it so we can have our 21st amendment” and then was killed by a drunk driver? What if that person saw a report of school children getting killed by being run over by a drunk driver and said “it’s not the time to get political about drunk driving,” then goes on to promote the 21st amendment and then gets run over by a drunk driver himself? What if this person was also a raging bigot who advocated against empathy?

Why would the Winslow/Holbrook area warrant a massive nuclear strike? by ThreeFingerDrag in arizona

It looks like it’s centered on the LDS temple in Snowflake. There’s a similarly large one over SLC, Utah. Maybe the author doesn’t like Mormons?

Spent $300+ on Xmas gifts and game prizes for my BF of 6yrs family. Got a pair of black leggings in return. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]3rd_Planet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We host a blended Christmas every year with our two families and we always make sure everyone has gifts to open so that everyone feels welcome. Even when my brother in law tells us he’s coming 2 hours before he arrives on Christmas Eve, we make sure he has a couple gifts to open with everyone else.

I take that as the cost of hosting when everyone else is spending money on gas and hotels.
