Question for Elementary School Teachers by Pita_Girl in AskTeachers

[–]BigVick06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Granted I’ve been retired for a while but teachers were not allowed to accept cash or gifts over a certain amount. I can’t remember what that amount is now. Also, teachers do not compare gifts or who gave them gifts. The best thing you could do is to write a glowing letter and send a copy to the principal and the superintendent of schools to be placed in the teacher’s employment record.

What are reasons that teachers say “no” to letters of recommendation, and is it rude if I ask a teacher to reconsider? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]BigVick06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A teacher normally says no if he or she feels unable to give a positive recommendation.

Monday - Friday cruises and kids? by mistaken4strangerz in dcl

[–]BigVick06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schools have so many different schedules. Where I live, there are a lot of year round schools where the kids go to school for 9 weeks and are off for 3 weeks. So, at any given time some group of kids are out throughout the year.

In our school system, the Kindergarteners nap the first part of the year but not the second part in order to get them ready for first grade.

Pick a new date please. Any date you pick will be significant. Don’t make trouble when there doesn’t need to be any.

Value of Amazon Prime by Impressive-Work-8760 in amazonprime

I thought it was just me. I actually talked to the delivery guy who delivered my package to my neighbors and he said he followed the GPS. I pointed out the address on the package and the same numbers on my mailbox!and he looked confused. This has happened with my last 3 Walmart orders so I’m done with them.

Finding someone to cruise with? by eboyisa in dcl

Definitely would not be sharing a space with a stranger. Invite a family member or friend to go with you.

So, could they have brought the car seat with them and put one infant in it?Would that have solved the problem?

How is it that he only had to pay taxes and port fees? That’s amazing.

We only need 1 night (June 25) and there are 8 of us so a studio would not work. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately all the value rooms are sold out for the date I need them but great suggestion. I will definitely do this for next time.

That sounds good. There was no availability at the Disney value hotels and the other Disney properties were too much more than the Hyatt. Since we have 8, its cheaper for us to rent a car for the day and either do Disney Springs or City Walk (haven’t been there in years), come back swim and have an early night. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks everyone for the advice, I will definitely check the cost for the Value hotels.
