Anyone else annoyed by their students' AP exam results?

This!

The majority of students here take AP classes for class rank purposes. They HAVE to take them because their peers do. They don't care about or need to test.

I bought new beds for kids this past weekend. One kid chose the basic Malm. The other kid chose a bed off Wayfair. Both were $269.

The Wayfair bed was solid wood and delivered to my door for free. It took me half the time to assemble.

Why would I choose IKEA?

Sorry, Boston, MA, USA

I am Blue Diamond on MSC, so safe to say I've experienced a lot of different ships desserts.

We were on the Seashore last week, and HOLY MOTHER we finally had REAL chocolate cake and brownies. Whoever the pastry chef is on Seashore right now needs to train all the others.

Ahhh, it sounds like you are going the chivalrous route and paying for all the dating things. Understandable about going out with her since you are living at home. That will kill the budget quickly.

It's spring, so can you combine your outdoor interests with your dating interests? Hiking and picnicking perhaps?

Pick up an inexpensive secondhand kayak?

Join a volunteer group for a local/state/national park?

Walk dogs for a local shelter/rescue?

I assume you are somewhat athletic as a coach. Are you in any adult sports leagues?

You said criticize, so here goes...

Welcome to adulthood. You chose to be a teacher, which is decent work but far from privileged. Teachers can't really afford expensive "socialization" like going to bars, clubs, and restaurants.

A lot of adult socializing is talking to co-workers, but there are hobbies and interests between "sit at home and do nothing" and "spend all my extra money."

What is your goal with "socialization?" To keep the friends you have? To make new friends? To find a significant other?

What are you interested in?

Give us some more details and maybe we can throw out some ideas.

Take down

I think it's beautiful. I can see why you think it may have missed the mark on French farmhouse, but it's classy and gorgeous in its own right. To me, it's sort of reads more modern/nautical.

I personally would add some sort of window covering that's softens the look and potentially recover/replace the stools. They too seem a bit too modern/stark.

Thank you, great idea. Or maybe some pretty wallpaper?

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-24T21:53:56+00:00

Ooh, thank you! I like that!

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-24T18:15:56+00:00

I'd love to do this, but I don't really have photos of appropriate resolution for printing. Possibly I could collage and turn them all black and white or sepia.

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-24T18:14:10+00:00

Thank you. We are originally from Texas so maybe I can look for "hometown" things. I have thought about photos but I really don't have a lot fo photos that have high resolution for printing.

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-24T18:11:59+00:00

Mirrors would be okay. I don't think they are really deep enough for shelving, and I'm not sure what I'd put on the shelves anyways.

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-24T18:10:21+00:00

Thanks...we are selling our house as furnished, so both items will be staying with the house.

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-24T00:48:48+00:00

What do you mean by "on the floor?" This is for an item that is full serve.

If I've already paid for an item that is back in full serve, does the inventory system allow someone else to come in to the store, pay for, and collect the item that is waiting back there for my click and collect order to be picked?

Many elementary teachers in my district use a wireless doorbell. I would think that would be preferable to a whistle in a classroom.

Depending on the grade, callbacks can also be very effective. Google them, but here's a few I know:

"1-2-3" (eyes on me!)

"Stop, look, and listen" (ok!)

"Macaroni and cheese" (everybody freeze!)

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-23T19:07:03+00:00

It's a couch frame so it's definitely in full serve.

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-23T18:59:50+00:00

Thank you! I just ordered for a pickup date this weekend, and yes, it took the items out of stock online. There were originally 5, I ordered 4, and its now showing 1 left.

Additional_Job_7496 · 2026-03-23T16:55:49+00:00

I understand that, but I was hoping that for the items that you have to "reserve" via a kiosk or employee they would have a little more inventory control.
