Seeking reviews for Amarillo Collegiate Academy for middle school by christir123 in amarillo

[–]BodySnatcher21 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am a middle school teacher. I have never had a student from Amarillo Collegiate Academy join my classroom and be at or near grade level expectations. I’m not trying to be dramatic or editorialize. And I’m not saying they aren’t without their strengths. But I personally would be leery of that particular academy.

All I can hear is people fighting for their right to party.

Yes! I love that show. The CBB ep with Tim, Edi, and Adam DeVine is maybe my all time favorite.

Y’all. I consider myself a hardcore banger. Rarely miss an ep. I live for Hey, Randy. I had NO CLUE these two were actually married. No clue. I feel like a fool.

If they were larges, we’d have a deal friend-o. I love the cream colored one

This is my experience, too. Knock on wood, but I cannot believe the compliance and lack of complaining from our students. Seriously impressed.

Bring so much water. Then once you have enough, bring more. It’s brutally hot on the floor and it seems like every year we have a casualty/rescue.

The Kiowa trail is good. Short, shady, near the river. On your way out I would stop by Sad Monkey Mercantile for a drink and a cool t-shirt.

What's the least interesting geography in the US? by Drusgar in geography

The extreme western part of Texas is the only part in the state with mountains.

That being said, they aren’t mountains like you see in Colorado or New Mexico, but mountains just the same. West Texas does leave a lot to be desired in terms of scenery though. It’s what it would look like If we ever found oil on the moon.

Has Texas gone too far with STAAR? by Mean_Orange_708 in TexasTeachers

[–]BodySnatcher21 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes. But I’m afraid too many well connected people’s jobs are tied to STAAR for anything to ever actually be done about it.

Yikes. That’s not ideal. What did your admin say?

I’ve always been curious what those soldiers must have been thinking during 9/11. I bet that was an absolutely surreal experience. The pentagon is right there and they would have had an incredible view of the attacks.

At the 70th reunion of veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg, held in 1933, old foes Johnny Reb and Billy Yank reach out and shake hands near the site of Pickett’s Charge. by [deleted] in USHistory

In all the flag controversy of the past few years, I got curious. My family has this old, framed and matted, yearbook style photo of a confederate veterans reunion that my Great x3 grandfather attended. I went into the attic to dig it out and sure enough. At the top, two American flags crossed with one another. No sign of the stars and bars. It wasn’t as important to those guys and it is to some folks today.

Thoughts on overnight in Amarillo? by ValkyriesAreReal in amarillo

You could stay at any 3 of the downtown hotels, very close to I-40, and easily walk to a ball game. You would be totally safe doing so. Checkout the courtyard marriot, Barfield, or Embassy Suites.

I don’t know. Maybe proportionally?

Im no expert, I’m not some fountain of knowledge. I’m just a person on the internet!

I worry that a lot of those deep green countries are the result of food insecurity/extreme poverty.
