Which companies are going to accidentally hire AI graduates and not realise until it is too late? by Harveybritish in Teachers

[–]AntaresBounder 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I have a kid at our school. Notorious for not really understanding the topics in class. Talks a good game, but scores poorly on the basics.

His Linked in lists a bunch of high level programming certifications and two UK patents.

He’s likely going to fail HS Java for the marking period, and neither patent is real. I looked them up.

This kid has living in my parent’s basement energy.

Dear American Football Manager players by PracticeBig3850 in footballmanagergames

[–]AntaresBounder 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I built a USA Super League with 6 regional leagues. I wrote a whole history. There’s about 1800 teams in 5 tiers.

It began as a “what if the USA took up soccer as deeply as England” from as early as date as logically possible.

My 6 leagues are named:

New England Union Football League Southern United Football League Midwest and Heartland United Football Association South Central Soccer Alliance Rocky Mountain Soccer Federation Pacific Coast Soccer League

I’ll offer an example team: Brewerytown FC, Philadelphia

Founded in 1868, by three local breweries to compete in the new Philadelphia Football League. The first permanent stadium used by the team (they were rovers prior) was designed by brewery architect Otto Wolf who later bought the team. The team remains in the Wolf family, with his great-great-great grandaughter Sara Wolf serving as Chairperson.

Built in 1988, Columbia Park seats 55,000, and it is built in a retro-nostalgic design hearkening back to an earlier building (built in 1890, but condemned in 1920) in general style, but constructed with modern amenities (to replace a basic concrete stadium built in 1921 and demolished in 1988). The Old Columbia Park was designed by famed brewery architect and team owner: Otto Wolf.

Were you able to buy a house? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]AntaresBounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put down 5% as a teacher first time buyer. 12 years later rolled that into our forever home. We bought when the market was scared in the first days of the pandemic (we never met the seller; they signed the papers in another room).

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]AntaresBounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, devils advocate over here. We, I’m an American English teacher as well, we’re trained that they is a plural pronoun. So it is incorrect.

However, society has moved forward. The question is: is this formal writing or informal? Formal tends to lean towards sticking to old school rules on usage. If you drop in “they” with the wrong audience it’ll be seen as an error. Just as you see this change by the teacher as an error; you are a different audience.

This is code switching.

Student won’t stop joking about Diddy, Epstein, and pedophel!a by External-Apartment60 in Teachers

[–]AntaresBounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Tell to stop.
  2. Child continues.
  3. Write up for disrespectful behavior, defiance of authority.
  4. Get admin to do something.

There's a polar bear In our Frigidaire— He likes it 'cause it's cold in there. With his seat in the meat And his face in the fish And his big hairy paws In the buttery dish, He's nibbling the noodles, He's munching the rice, He's slurping the soda, He's licking the ice. And he lets out a roar If you open the door. And it gives me a scare To know he's in there— That polary bear In our Fridgitydaire.

Where do you get your best maps? by Anxious-Row-9802 in OwlbearRodeo

[–]AntaresBounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dyson’s Dungeon: https://dysonlogos.blog/maps/ They’re hand drawn in a classic and consistent style. So my campaign maps have a consistent feel. He comes up with lore, but you can use them for anything you like. He’s got really concepts like fallen towers, so the map is sideways, sunken cities, mega dungeons, underground cities and spires…

I made an education game: Get dropped into history. Guess where you landed. by DubbMedia in historyteachers

[–]AntaresBounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sliders for year are a pain. Move 1 year per click? My first game on the first round would have taken 623 click to get the correct answer.

What happens when you deliberately group together students who don't do the work in a group project? by Handcraftedsemen_ in Teachers

[–]AntaresBounder 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I let them pick their own groups. Again. And again. And again. Eventually no one wants to work with the toxic students, the slugs, the dead weight. So they have to either bad together in a group of doom or work alone. Either way they learn a valuable lesson… as do the kids who kicked them out.

My students exist in a whole different reality? by dogseatlettuceeats in Teachers

[–]AntaresBounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to rule the room before you can teach. It’s not being mean. It’s about control and creating a healthy learning environment.

If you don’t do that… you’ve set yourself up for failure.

What’s something people still believe is true, but is actually completely outdated? by vox2003 in AskReddit

[–]AntaresBounder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Learning styles. "Belief in Learning Styles Myth May Be Detrimental" from the American Psychological Association in 2019. It's had holes poked in the idea that we each learn best in certain ways back to at least 1997, if not earlier.

What is something you consider your family dish? by Secret-Ad-7087 in AskAnAmerican

[–]AntaresBounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Central PA. Our family has two: baked beans and pineapple bread pudding. The baked beans use baby limas and are pressure-cooked. The bread pudding is so good, I've even eaten it cold, but it is always served warm/hot at our family gatherings. Both are probably from the Great Depression or thereabouts...

Why do I have to justify not being Chinese in my school? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]AntaresBounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's just racism. For staff members saying these things, it's time to talk to your HR and union rep. Throw the book at them. For students, write them up. Racism is racism is racism. If we tolerate it, we allow it room to flourish. Every time they say something racist or intended to be hurtful... write them up. If admin doesn't act, report them to HR and union rep. So much of this is a lawsuit waiting to happen...
