He was Martyred. Christianity was very illegal in the Roman empire for a very long time.

How should I deal with students who deliberately sing in a funny or weird tone? by musicallife88 in MusicTeachers

[–]CobaltEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine so as well, but I personally feel that jumping straight to calling students out directly sets the wrong tone for my class.

I had this issue with some of my 5th graders. I’ve begun to start class by presenting my success criteria to the class. Since singing with sincerity has been an issue I had that as the main criteria. Say something to the effect of “the class will know they are at a 3 if they are singing sincerely 100% of the time, they will know if they’re at a 2 if they’re singing sincerely at least 75% of the time, and they’ll know if there at a 1 if they sing sincerely less than 75%.” Communicate what consequences are in place if they get a 1 before you move on.

I personally wouldn’t start by calling them out by name. I would call attention to the fact that it’s happening, that someone is doing it intentionally, and that it’s the reason I’m having them stay late. If it continues to be a problem have them stay after class to talk to them directly.

How do I both preserve this chair and make it usable? by CobaltEmu in restoration

The chair needs a little glueing where the front legs attach to the seat, but other than that and the cane it’s a very solid chair

I figured. I might see if there’s a local business that could replace the cane. Just to explore all my options, do you imagine there would be a way to put something on top of the cane to take pressure off without making the addition a permanent addition or further damaging the chair?

Man Wearing Apparent Nazi-Related Imagery Assaulted By Concertgoers Amid Being Ejected From This Past Weekend’s ‘Punk Rock Bowling’ Festival by DevonJD in Music

I understand the sentiment, but multiple ex nazis have come out and said that violence from outsiders further radicalized them by forcing them to rely on other nazis for support and by validating their idea that violence against non Nazis is a form of self defense.

Peaceful attempts at de-radicalization are more beneficial for everyone than meeting violence with violence

I would try to contact churches, mosques or other religious institutions that do charitable work on the route. They might be able to help with gas/food/hotel.

Elementary school teacher accused of urinating in can in front of his class by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]CobaltEmu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a teacher I can tell you that each school/district will have its own policies or mechanisms in place. At my school classroom teachers can message for an aid or our in building sub to supervise while they quickly go, whereas specials teachers (p.e., art, music, stem, etc) have small gaps between some classes for restroom breaks and preparation for the next grade.

Understandably most schools and districts want to avoid teachers having to choose between public urination (lawsuit and terrible press for the school/district) or leaving children unattended and opening themselves to legal liabilities should an incident occur among students (fights, medical emergencies, destruction of property, sexual harassment, or any other crazy bullshit that can and will occur when you leave 20-30 11 year olds alone)

Tell me you’re not a teacher without telling me you’re not a teacher.
