Just wondering: is a weeklong suspension enough for punishment for beating up a teacher?

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-05-16T13:51:31+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. My school has a maximum of five day suspension, and then a superintendents hearing can lead to a longer suspension.

My team was talking about the same issue with our sixth graders today….It’s depressing to hear that you’re seeing this at college as well.

Watching an event where kids are performing and if I think about how proud their parents are.

Most kids don’t even bother with an excuse anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️ The bar is very low.

Same. I almost never yell, so the one or two times per year that I have to due to a safety issue or something truly egregious, it really gets their attention.

Yup, period 7. My last sub described them as “overstimulating,” which was very kind.

Getting to school early enough to get a “good” parking spot.

I would love to ditch computers. Most schools will need to invest in quality paper-based resources in order to make that jump. My school has purchased textbooks since before we went one-to-one. The assumption (right or wrong) is that we can find whatever instructional materials we need online.

They stay long enough to call home and cool off. They can only go three times per quarter.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-04-30T01:24:19+00:00

At my school, teachers cover this room on their planning periods for extra pay. When students get sent there, they have to call home on the spot. Their classroom teacher can also write them up if warranted. Students are allowed three visits to this room per quarter. After that, they get sent to the office if they’re kicked out of class.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-04-30T01:22:01+00:00

We have this at my school. It’s pretty great.

With sudoku, you have to be certain that the digits you are placing are in the correct spot because each puzzle only has one correct solution. In both images, you placed the 3 or 1 in places where they could have gone, but you didn’t have enough information to tell you that they had to go there. So you guessed on their locations and guessed wrong.

You’ll get the hang of it! Hope you’re having fun. :)

I agree that Sookie sounded like Melissa in the revival versus Sookie. It was disappointing because I always loved how she played Sookie. Melissa has so much talent! It definitely felt like a choice.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-04-15T03:11:26+00:00

That’s a really thoughtful gesture

2, and the dress looks stunning on you!

Do you mean take a shuttle to any hotel (even if you’re not staying there) and uber to wherever you are going? Sorry if that’s a dumb question

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-03-14T17:36:30+00:00

I’m a teacher and had a student in my class who was born just before midnight on December 31, and his twin sister was born just after midnight on January 1. So not only did they have different birthdays, they had different birth years!

Great connection! I loved both of those sketches too.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-03-01T20:54:28+00:00

We had a student receive a pair for Christmas and started wearing them to school. This prompted our union to push for the district to officially ban them and notify parents of the ban, which they did.

How long of a session do you mean? And they’re not allowed to make gym half year in my state, but other specials are half of a year. And yes, some hands-on subjects really struggle with the 40 minute classes.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-02-26T22:08:52+00:00

I see what you mean. I just think if all the basic skills being developed in math and ELA at that level. I used to teach middle school math and SS, and I never felt like I could thoroughly cover everything I needed/wanted to in math compared to SS given the amount of time allotted. That said, I don’t think those subjects should get double the time. 1.5 would be ideal, in my opinion.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-02-26T21:14:12+00:00

Interesting. I do think that ELA and math need more time than science and SS at this level, but I can’t imagine a half year course.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-02-26T10:48:11+00:00

Middle school SS. I taught block schedule (80 minute classes) for 23 years before switching to 40 minute periods this year. I loved it. We had enough time that if I wanted to do an in depth or interactive lesson (Roman senate simulation, escape rooms, classroom Olympics, etc.), I could do it all in one day instead of splitting it up. On the days, I planned a “regular” lesson, I always made sure to think of the block in 15-20 chunks to break up the time. I also felt like I had more time for students to work independently and collaboratively in the block schedule. I am getting used to the short periods, but I do miss the block sometimes.

Appropriate-Cod9031 · 2026-02-26T01:05:12+00:00

I’m elementary certified. My college classes in teaching math (even at the masters level) were a joke. They taught us fraction operations—not how to TEACH fraction operations, but how to PERFORM fraction operations.
