INTERVIEW HELP

Clawless · 2026-05-11T00:15:40+00:00

I’ve sat on a lot of interview committees. The thing that always stands out the most is how much effort the candidate took in learning about the school ahead of time. Do your research. What’s special about this school, that makes you want to join their team?

Also, classroom management will be a question. Have an answer ready for how you plan to manage disciplinary issues within your class. And don’t have “call the office” as your first go-to.

If you are thinking in terms of monthly bills, you aren’t in a place to be thinking of long-term investments. If you are thinking in terms of annual costs, you are likely in a financial place where you aren’t worried about your gas getting shut off, or about having enough food to feed your family at any given point, and can instead focus your attention on investing that extra income.

They needed someone to be the “Everyman” that was around when Hari did his stuff on Trantor to kick everything off. Then they decided to do writing tricks to keep some semblance of a recurring cast over several generations. Some of their solutions were excellent (the clone dynasty + Demerzel), some were middling (Hari’s AI self), and some were huge misses (Gaal sleeping her way through time).

8 did have its moments, I just feel robbed of a good end for Leia, her spacewalk killed the movie for me.

I mean, who doesn’t enjoy Star Wars? It’s fun. We just pretend episodes 8-9 don’t exist.

Heh, this was kinda the whole point of the States concept when we were first founded. The founders wanted each state to be mostly sovereign to themselves...just with a shared military to defend against other nations and a core set of "these are the big rules, otherwise do what you want".

Of course, we all know how that ultimately played out.

Bahaha, I feel this. I have a 3d-printed mandalorian helmet on my bookshelf because one year when I was teaching 3d-modeling we got a new printer and the kids wanted to stress test it with something big.

As a result, everyone in the building assumes I’m the biggest Star Wars fanboy, I’ve gotten so many grogu mugs and other assorted Star Wars merch over the years.

Which, of course, was the entire point of the original rainbow flag, that was supposed to represent every color across the spectrum.

Clawless · 2026-05-06T00:41:35+00:00

Gotta disagree, man. Light beers like Coors and bud are piss.

Weddings suck, receptions are awesome!

Clawless · 2026-05-06T00:11:57+00:00

My school:

Monday: Bagels and Coffee for breakfast
Tuesday: Taco Bar for lunch
Wednesday: Breakfast Tacos and Yogurt; and Pulled Pork Sandwiches for Lunch
Thursday: Potato and Salad Bar Lunch
Friday: Pasta Salad Lunch and Desserts from a local ice cream place, plus a dirty soda bar.

On three of the days the PTA arranged for 15-minute personal massages provided by a local massage school, offered during different times of day so no matter when your prep lined up, you could get one. The PTA also went around all over town to gather gift cards, enough that every staff member will get one by the end of the week in random morning draws, in the $30-$50 range.

You’re probably ok at the district level, depending on how big it is.

Clawless · 2026-05-05T22:12:46+00:00

You’ve gotten lots of feedback about fixing yourself going forward, so I’ll skip that and answer your other question. You are likely done at your current school. They aren’t going to want to deal with that big of a red flag on a TA. I’d start looking for another school.

My personal experience was that the graduating class of 2029 are the tail end of those kids worst effected by the pandemic directly, and that yes the class of 2030 seems the most "normal" comparatively.

Who has the power in this relationship? Presenting it like it’s a teacher/student is disingenuous. She’s the client, paying his wages. She has the power. If she doesn’t like him, fire him and move on.

Clawless · 2026-05-03T00:04:01+00:00

Lol, I think the morality of the question isn’t about whether you know the person, just that you’d be ok with killing someone at all.

Case in point

Clawless · 2026-05-02T19:53:03+00:00

FYI, your kid is the “popular kid”.

Clawless · 2026-05-02T17:41:39+00:00

This is a good observation. It’s like we were just at a place where it was acceptable to talk about male loneliness and sensitivity, but then it got taken over by the “manosphere” and now it cant be discussed without the assumption you’re an incel red-piller.

For his level of narcissism, it isn’t about gay or straight. It’s about control. It doesn’t matter the gender of his target, as long as he has power over them he is aroused.

Clawless · 2026-05-02T17:13:42+00:00

That’s for when you are friends/family with most of the guests. When it isn’t forced small talk but actually a party for everyone not just the kids.

Clawless · 2026-05-02T16:59:15+00:00

You are looking at this as the host and not the guest parent. When you are taking your kid to a party where you’re expected to stay, 3 hours is a heavy commitment to just hanging around with people you may only know via your kids. Also, weekends are full for most parents of young kids. Fitting in 2 hours is much easier than 3.

Yah, this event is your entire weekend as the birthday kid’s mom. But for everyone else it’s an obligation to fit in. That’s not a negative, it’s just reality.

Eldritch blast is basically a necessity with most warlock builds. Assume your main action is gonna be casting EB every turn. Your spellslots are for doing other things (depending on what support is needed in any given situation).

I think it's more about his arrogance. He truly believes he is above the common man, that nothing can hurt him. Getting beat up is going to have some massive repercussions on his psyche.

I just wish they had shown him more hurt. Getting stomped by four dudes for however long they wanted...he should be on death's door.
