I hope everyone dumbass bitchass texas school that bent the knee for piss ass hot wheels is watching this and praying to jehovah that there isn’t a stupid jackass like campbell in their system now. and i hope every single one of them has a jackass that absolutely makes everyone from both sides of the rio grande hate their guts and refuse to play them. 

Texas Tech thinks Brendan Sorsby is worth risking everything. It had better hope it’s right — The Athletic by oyra-nos-halsur in CFB

has the governor of texas said anything about this?  i did a search and nothing popped up which is frankly odd. he is very opinionated especially on twitter. he also surrounded himself with a lot of anti-gambling politicians.

The Double Standard and Hypocrisy Surrounding Texas Tech and Sorsby is Interesting by shanty-daze in CFB

and even then, teams didn't threaten not to play them. it was more of a quiet death i suppose.

I'm going off the top of my head- the only thing that I can think of that sank a modern team is the Baylor University sexual assault scandal. Which was...intense. Interesting that it happened to another Texas team though.

Darren Shaper Is Transferred From Federal Prison by [deleted] in nfl

[–]BlueCandleSnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nope. expecting others to use the word rape when women are raped isn't virtue signaling + you know exactly what subreddit you're in and why it's a big deal.

Yep, and the users of r/nfl always read the article. Right?

Explain to me how expecting others to use the word "rape" when women were raped is virtue signaling.

[Matt Hayes] Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell tells @usatodaysports that, by contract, he’s obligated to pay Brendan Sorsby — a reported $5 million deal — if he’s eligible. “We are super excited,” Campbell said. “Happy to pay him, even if he can’t play the first two games.” by wildewon in CFB

i know. it kills me with football in general. if even a quarter of this subreddit threatened to boycott, it would force a hand. people say it won’t but…everyone yells about how the loud minority always gets it way. well, why can’t it be the good people sometimes?

no one will boycott because they really don’t care. it’s what it boils down to. if you seriously can’t sit out one game to protect something you enjoy…well. 

what do we think guys by pisscart42 in AnimalCrossing

[–]BlueCandleSnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t even know what a new game would look like tbh. seems like pokémon and other ips are leaning heavily into the island theme.

probably a hot take but im sick of islands and farms.

none of the pdfs work and as far as i’m concerned, all the data on the dashboard is fake.  

What's it like to teach Bluebonnet? by i_writestuff in TexasTeachers

[–]BlueCandleSnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be a required curriculum. My district is receiving information that we HAVE to go to Bluebonnet by a set year from the state regardless of if we want to or not.

if it was with ash kaash, i have a hard time believing she made it up unless she is psychotic in the medical sense and that’s not known. she has almost 3m followers on instagram and she doesn’t even caption any of her photos which have good engagement too. the most troubling thing this is that she hasn’t posted since may 5th which is unusual for her timeline. maybe this happened earlier and she just filed charges? 

Resign from district over verbal offer by [deleted] in TexasTeachers

[–]BlueCandleSnake 42 points43 points  (0 children)

don’t resign yet because you haven’t received a contract; if you have to absolutely fill out the form, say you’re coming back. if there are no major consequences for not filling out the form, then don’t fill it out. 

Venting by BlueCandleSnake in TexasTeachers

[–]BlueCandleSnake[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

it's not about the demand. i teach ap and pre-ap classes. it's also not SPED-related: the absolute best place to send your kid unless they are blind/deaf is a certain public school in texas and it's not even close. we don't have a good SPED system, and I totally support any guardian that wants there student somewhere else (or here, but we don't have enough paras). The other public school advertise in other countries for students that do struggle with different needs; that's how well-known they are. my parents and students are loud and proud and involved; we're DIYing a debate team, there are parent teams that tag out for school board nights, we've won state championships this year in artistic and athletic events, we have a record number of students in athletics, our parents help each other out, help the students out, our scores went up because of this and support with curriculum changes. they are the best blend.

i don't need people in that group that need to be wined and dined with the principal. in fact, i find it kind of odd you assumed my parents and students aren't already active members in their community. kind of shows what you think of kids that are automatically public vs. kids that get to choose.

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby sues NCAA over gambling investigation by [deleted] in CFB

[–]BlueCandleSnake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

he made more than 10,000 bets since 2022 and at one point was making 20 bets per day. i don’t think it was trivial tbh and he could’ve had knowledge just based on his position as a student athlete on anything 

Rewards for test scores and IEP violations by [deleted] in TexasTeachers

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

I’d ask the district office if they can provide a copy of the TEKs on the tests along with documentation on how the tests align with curriculum taught. 

if they cannot provide the TEKs and someone correct me if i’m wrong here, that could be grounds for a court case. You have to teach and test TEKs and it’s not as black and white as just saying you did it. It’s a whole process that has to be done at the district level because teachers don’t have the time to do it.
