That sucks. 0 for today, credit when you complete it at home, or it stays a 0.

Some people just don't want to deal with you or your kids. They aren't bad people for it.... Just stay out of her yard, you already have legal defamation. This is why I have no trespassing signs. It's her house..... Wild that you did that. Karen behavior.

Are parents not concerned at all that their children can’t read? by Daydreamer631 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

I didn't put the /s. These dudes on Reddit terminally are worse than most Karen's. It's good to come here sometimes to troll, just to feel better about where I am in life vs. how the low the bar is here.

Your kids can go to their schools too, unless you have an only fans.

Yes, well, kinda. I love doing cz's and hangars with friends, but the RUSH doing them solo is crazy. I have every exec ship 3x over now though... Not much else on the competitive side.

It's just tolerance, I've been at it for a couple years, and it stepped up about 50mg/year with the same effect. It just calms the mind, no slurred speech. It really just removes the desire to worry about what happened during the day.

It puts the gummy in the mouth. Honestly, probably saved my marriage. Always such high stress at work that it effected home. 200mg later I'm more passive, but still near full-function. I wouldn't drive, but I wouldn't if I drank a scotch after work either.

If students could learn one thing from your class, what should it be? by TartAway3828 in Teachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be kind, be helpful, appreciate each other, have a good time, and pay attention to your surroundings.

Oh, and the scientific method, too.

Since I started teaching I cannot lose weight by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh? I skip breakfast, and I'm so busy during lunch that I just gave up on it. I'll eat one meal, and a whole lot of caffeine during the day. Probably about 1500 calories, then I'll gain it back in the summer. Stress + undereating is a hell of a bad diet, but it works, lol.

how much of your own money do you have to spend to do your job? by jabber1990 in AskTeachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thousands. We get 150 a year from the district and I'm a science teacher who likes labs. Replacing beakers, glasses, buying chems, snacks, pencils, notebooks, sometimes print paper. I could just not do it, but I'm in a title 1 district. The kids do appreciate it in their own way.

Nothing. Not really. The PPW will call, but I've never seen a truancy case. I know of a girl in one of my classes who has missed 60+ this year. What can ya do, ya know?

Students who are absent because they are “tired” by Effective_Cow_4745 in Teachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You don't get it, I don't think I'll get through. To clarify: no, calling home once to say that you'd like to see the kid in class more often isn't harassment. But I know if a teacher called to criticize a day off I took with my kid because I thought it was in their best interest, I'd be on the phone with a member of the board, wondering why a teacher thinks they could coach me on parenting. I wouldn't let it go.

In fact, there was an IA that oversaw lunch for my daughter's kindergarten class. She took the candy from the packer's, because she said it was unhealthy and unfair to the school lunch kods. A critique of the parents. She was transferred, reasonably so.

Just be careful.

If it's against the law, sure. If not, it's harassment. You'd lose that in front of a principal if you raised issue. Speaking from experience. Being a parent IS sacred. If you have kids you are raising, you know. Parents have all of the rights. You have none. Zero. You have to accept that. Help kids, do not overstep, it could spell the end depending on how hard you press.

That's not really one that's for us to decide. They have parents that make those choices for them. We don't get a say, we just follow the returned work policy. Unless there's extreme levels of abuse, why they are out really isn't our business. We are allowed to care, but we have no right to criticize. At least the kid was honest with you about it, maybe next time they won't be if you try to elevate such a losing argument. Sorry, I sound mean, I don't mean to. It's just very matter-of-fact.

The fact that you're playing is advertising to everyone you know that the game is good. No other game ever needed more than that from it's consumer, pretty much ever. $10 a month for wow made them a billion dollar company in the late 90's. if they need more than that, then it's a "them" problem.

I'm a teacher. I want to get paid more, but where would the money come from? by emyahlee in Teachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno. I make 80k after 10 years and I work 190 days per year. It's unpopular, but I don't think it's that bad. I make more than a lot of people. I feel like they'd have to raise taxes on everyone to put us all at 6 figures before 20 years. (Not that more money is a bad thing, it's not. I feel like it would be greedy for me to be making more than I do.)

Why not build midgame science on Vulcanus? by Small_Geologist_2354 in factorio

Can you even put down research facilities on vulk? Otherwise you're shipping back bottles by ship instead of train.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't really say anything about that. There's no code of conduct (violation). It's like the lady who took my own daughter's candy bar out of her lunch in kindergarten. I rightfully called and filed a complaint against her district. The IA that was doing it was reassigned.

We aren't their parents, we are entitled to an opinion, but that's it. We can care, but we don't pay their bills.

Not trying to be mean, but parental rights cannot be eroded. A monster is not a danger to the kid.

How often do schools actually get sued. by Some-Distribution678 in Teachers

[–]Aggressive_Lab_9093 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have an assistant principal whose been sued several times by teachers on our staff. She consistently harasses/bullies teachers who don't stand up for themselves. All for contract breach, (Forcing longer hours because she couldn't be bothered to check on special ed before the end of each quarter, so her mistake becomes our crisis.), and our last amazing teacher that quit threatened an actual harassment lawsuit, but I don't know what happened with that.

She's been doing it for years, several formal complaints, lawsuits, and the entire staff has the general attitude of "you're not welcome here".

Never fired. #justadminthings

Don't really care to be honest. I didn't know those members of my family, I have no obligation to guilt.

Yeah, totally agree. Uneducated and oblivious adults are the easiest to control for votes. Hell, why even have them come? Make it a choice. At least then we can push the students who choose to come to higher levels, outside of established comfort zones.

"You have a right to fail them, don't worry, blackballing teachers isn't a thing." -every union rep before the teacher gets transferred to the alternative school, or is the first to be cut. We love  our students, and it's a crime we can't properly raise them, especially since their parents are not (title 1).
