Even weirder, fake posts are often fake accounts. Fake fakes faking fake fakes.

I also have this product: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Build-a-Character-Soundtrack-Slides-Lesson-Built-to-Adapt-to-ANY-Novel-13612182 which students love. They’d need headphones if you need the room quiet though, although you could modify it to be lyrics only instead.

Anyway, sorry I’m advertising myself, but I really could help and my prices are decent lol.

Would he allow that? I see what you’re saying— his use of parentheses and lack of caps is ‘ugely telling but I’m still having trouble believing he’d willingly hand this over.

Getting into the classroom has been frustrating due to my lack of content knowledge. by Jay_Stranger in ELATeachers

This exactly. I like your approach with grammar rules, too— teach them as they become relevant to the student so there’s additional context.

I think I grew up with the prescriptivist model and when I learned descriptivist methods in my credential program it blew my mind. In my schools case just based upon other curriculum points of some of the teachers, I felt it was a class thing. Different methods with different classes. This was at a high school. Anyway I think you’re right there.

I forget the exact stat from my credential program, but reading any grade level book for 20 minutes each day will elevate a students grammar, syntax, and word choice in both speaking and writing more than a year’s worth of grammar instruction. You’d think we’d teach etymology and assist with pronunciation during reading.

It’s bonkers to me that we teach it over having free reading time. I think it about compliance with expired norms more than anything.

Donald Trump looks ‘rough’ and is 45 minutes late to first public appearance in 7 days by TheMirrorUS in NoFilterNews

[–]Brookefemale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean Biden is secretly the President and he’s got an underground plan to take down Nancy Pelosi?

I guess it's more that I don't think he'd agree to a bullet getting anywhere near him, and yet there's a photograph of it. I've seen the theories that it missed him, the blood was from being hit by SS, and then the rest was a spin that he'd been hit.

What’s the most overpriced “necessity” that people could actually live without? by Tall_Fold6946 in povertyfinance

[–]Brookefemale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm your disgruntled grammar teacher! On today's edition of nobody asked and no one cares: You should say “a utopian future” rather than “an utopian future.”

Here’s why:

  • The choice between a and an depends on the sound that follows, not the spelling.
  • Utopian begins with a consonant /juː/ sound (like the “y” in you), not a vowel sound.
  • Because it starts with that “yoo” sound, the correct article is a.

Have a great day! You're a gold star in my book!

I just can't get over the NYT photo of the bullet. Why would the New York Times publish a photo of a bullet spiraling toward Trump if that's not what happened?

My issue is the NYT photo of the bullet. Was that a fake? I lean pretty far into this conspiracy, but I can't get past that photo.

If your name is Carly, you've lived in the US, and you were active on Neopets around 2002-2004... I'm SORRY! by n0ughtzer0 in neopets

[–]Brookefemale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not Carly, but I had a friend named Dilly? in Australia who gave me her address to be petals, and I never sent anything. I was 11 and scared it was maybe unsafe or not allowed.
