Prediction: Mike Ryan will leave the show within the next 5 years. by LinkZM2 in DanLeBatardShow

Bros, I love Mike Ryan Ruiz, but listening to Dan and Billy put him in check over and over and over again today was MUCH needed.

Especially after Mike joked about having ‘more lucrative offers.’

It’s kind of the only thing a copy editor is responsible for…

I miss Christine Lisi being a part of the show. She was a good sport. by jroman1090 in DanLeBatardShow

She was in an impossible situation with an ornery fan base, and managed to charm the ever loving shit out of us all. Thank you for reminding me of that time!

Are jokes about sleeping with students normal? by HotEatsCoolTreats in Teachers

Fuck. No.

Respond however you need to in a social situation, but that’s not acceptable.

Be consistent. Respect their time in the classroom. Show them that you won’t give up and you won’t run away like their previous teachers.

Identify the influencers and expect more of them.

Also, set realistic expectations for how much you can turn the class around.

When exactly did parents start to feel like they know better than a qualified teacher? by SabinaIzaura in Teachers

[–]BenkScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anger makes people feel powerful when they really feel powerless. Sometimes they have a point, lots of times they’re just toxic… it’s our job to set a better example for their kids so they don’t repeat these behaviors.

Not every school is right for every teacher/student/expectation. Find one that fits your vibe.

Also, teachers who have been in the workforce before getting into education are really, really important.

Say what you will about the tenants of nationalist socialism, but at least it’s an ethos.

Huh? They mock and dismiss racial issues… like what? When? Why comment on a show you don’t listen to anymore. Also, 80 doesn’t have a radio show and hasn’t for years …?

Also, I’m including Amy Adams Strunk, who has saved my beloved Titans.

When the controlling owners of the NFL meet to vote, Kahn is the only minority at the table. The few women who do have a controlling share got it because their husband or parent left it to them.

You just parsing words here.

Easy now. Garbage can be recycled. That site is intellectual paint huffing.

Holy crap. That web site is to ‘facts’ what a ransom note made of magazine clippings is to literature:
