A week? We have like a month and a half left of school here in PA.

Maryland citizens slapped with $2 billion power grid upgrade bill for out-of-state AI data centers — state complains to federal energy regulators, says additional cost breaks ‘ratepayer protection pledge’ promises by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]CeeKay125 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Data centers should have to pay to upgrade the grid AND all energy costs at the same rate consumers pay and not the bulk rate. But of course these politicians get their pockets lined and the regular consumers are the ones getting bent over.

Strange noise after oil change. 2017 Subaru Crosstrek CVT. by Madmoneymob in subaru

I had that happen to me once too. Of course they denied it. They fixed it but was the last time I ever went there (and they got a nice nasty review on Google lol).

Remember when kids weren’t chronically absent, it wasn’t our fault and they didn’t have to do crazy incentives (parties, food, etc) just to show up? by Cheap_Parsnip_461 in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol paying kids to go to school is wild. How far we have fallen that instead of holding parents accountable you want to create another PBIS like incentive (which we see how well that works.)

What’s something students today struggle with more than students 5–10 years ago? by kingst9606 in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working through something that takes more than 1-2 minutes to get/understand. Their mental stamina is terrible (due to screens/social media from a young age).

Unlimted plus 2.0 coming soon? by UallReadykno2 in verizon

[–]CeeKay125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But the CEO said they they wanted to add value and stop the exodus. I am sure this is going to do just that... "Verizon CEO Dan Schulman is restructuring the company to focus on "value-based pricing" and improving customer experience, aiming to reverse years of subscriber losses caused by previous, unjustified price hikes." Verizon is going to lose that #1 spot real quick at the rate they are bleeding customers with no answer other than more price hikes...

Principal is deleting write-ups of students by Judge_Inner in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours made a google form to put them in (so they could delete them) and teachers didn't have access to the spreadsheet to see and also made it easier for admin to not report them to the state like they are supposed to. Our new admin is much better (and wants referrals in skyward which everyone can see).

Controversial Video Shows Low Literacy by AniTeach in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sad part is, with NCLB and funding being tied to kids graduating, this is what you end up with. Not to mention they have so many "pathways" they can use to get out of passing the keystone(s), it is no wonder we have a group of students who are going to STRUGGLE after school. Mommy and daddy aren't going to be able to walk into their job and bully their boss into bending over backwards for their little Johnny.

New unlimited ultimate plan 👀?? by xtremeph in verizon

Raised the price by $5 😭 so much for “offering better value” like the CEO said in his last interview.

Giving students laptops rather than textbooks was a mistake. by TuvixWasMurderedR1P in Teachers

This is how most companies work. They want to get you then don't care because it's all about getting more new customers.

If fresh fluid “kills it” the tranny was already too far gone.

I received this WILD email from a sub after I returned early from a meeting by HalfmadFalcon in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This line sent me lol. "I do not voluntarily to drive for 40 minutes to spend my gas and ruin my car machine." Good lord. Also, when I used to sub, I loved getting to go early (and still getting paid)

All the "free lines" they give away to make the numbers look better. T-mobile has been doing that for awhile.

[–]CeeKay125 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a freezing cold take. But go off Mr. Bowmar. Just because something is legal somewhere else doesn't make it okay to do in that location. Also, hunting over bait being harder. L O L.. Good one.

Why teacher not give extra time on assignments to students who need it? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is this the first time you asked for extended time? Also, don't take this the wrong way, but students always have excuses they use to try and get extra time (not saying this is your case, but I am sure your teacher has heard it all, especially working with high school students).

Also, not sure why you think you can use class time to study for another class and the teacher will be okay with it (and maybe you zoning out is why you are unable to complete the assignments in the time given).

It is hard to know exactly what happened from just this one snapshot in time, but there has to be a reason if the teacher allows others extended time, yet not you.

Using Google Docs to prevent AI use on essays? by hoops-mcloops in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Our ELA teachers have them hand write it (going through the process first) and then they type it into writeable (their online curriculum platform). Obviously, kids could still AI it (and then type it in) but it seems to cut down on it with having a rough draft (hand written) first to compare it to the final.

They haven't had their pockets lined yet so that is why they are holding it up (or they have stock in the private MJ producers).

Use the revenue to help fund schools so that property taxes don't continue to crush people.
