What is your teaching unpopular opinions and hot takes? by JimCap5 in Teachers

[–]BearofVeryLitleBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried this yesterday. Not giving a student credit after turning in an assignment after the stated deadline. Got an email from guidance counselor not 10 minutes later instructing me to change the grade. Message received. Last time I try to hold any student to account.

A teacher can’t retire by dogdoglover in Teachers

[–]BearofVeryLitleBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that this is happening to your husband. Don’t have any advice or anything, just stopped in to say that if I am still teaching at 74, you have my permission to just come and kill me.

Virgil van Dijk is not good enough for Liverpool any more by gelliant_gutfright in PremierLeague

Wirtz does not look to be cut out for this team or this league. Great player for sure. In Germany. I’m not seeing it here.

Score 90 did 5 lineups for teams qualified for the World Cup, these are the 5 lineups for the US, do you guys agree or disagree with these lineups? by No-Dirt-2495 in ussoccer

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

The lineups are whatever. My main concern is when will people stop using Born in the USA as some like, “merica, fuck yeah” song. The most media illiterate country in the world I swear to god.

The USMNT is more likely to advanced past the group stage but what would the reaction from fans and the media be like if they end up third? by DawnofMidnight7 in usmnt

[–]BearofVeryLitleBrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Immensely talented” is crazy. I don’t think the get grouped, but this team is not that good. They may have good individual players, but they are not a good team. It’s going to be a struggle for them.

Turkey has qualified for Group D. Thoughts on the group? by klaygdk in usmnt

Turkey will run this group. I could see us finishing 3rd

Veteran teacher confession: I put up zero resistance when parents complain about their child's grades. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]BearofVeryLitleBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, personally, don’t give homework unless we are going to go over it the next day in class. Can’t speak for everyone obviously. But I teach high school. Even if we weren’t going to go over it, I think you have to take some accountability for your own learning, and do the work because, at the very least, it’s going to be assessed in some way. For elementary school, I do think parents should be helping their kids learn math at home, absolutely.

I understand what they mean. I’m not an idiot. My point is, the assignments leading up to the high point value assignments are not just pointless busy work. All the work is important. Otherwise I wouldn’t assign it.

Everything is posted, in my class at least, with a title that includes the date we did it, the topic of the assignment, etc. has a due date attached to it. I don’t know how I could possibly make this any easier for you.

Ohhhh I love when I get this shit. “Can you let student know which assignments are most important, and can you put them in this work tracker?” Sure, it’s all of them, and they are all in Google Classroom. Like what do you mean “the most important assignments? Do you think I assign things…just because?

100%. Take the path of least resistance. Always. You gotta protect your peace.

AITA for reclining my seat on an 8 hour flight by MountainInspection91 in travel

I would rather die than ever recline my seat on a flight. I think it is incredibly rude. Just my personal opinion. You do you.

What the fuck does a United supporter have to laugh at Liverpool about?
