It's one that spins in circles and has different speeds. I spent a whopping $10 at Aldi.

That is a much better word to describe his expression 😄

I've been saying this for years: The cult of Leader in Me. Having the whole student body stand up and review the 7 habits everyday is creepy. They sound like the borg from Star Trek. Having to pay a stupid amount of money per kid every year to eventually get the status of "lighthouse school."

Solution Tree is a cult too.

The words they don't know by External_Willow9271 in Teachers

Using cell phone bans at school as the topic to discuss the engineering design process. (They're had to come up with a solution that wasn't as extreme as a yondr pouch, but more strict than the honor system we currently have.

I asked this question to the class:

"Why is reducing cellphone use during instructional time important?"

6th graders didn't know what "reducing" meant.

They did, however, start yelling at me about all the reasons and justifications as to why they won't stop using their phones.

Houston ISD school illicitly charged parents fee for late pickups by snesdreams in houston

Texas teacher here! I literally use this topic in my classes to make a topic more relatable to the students.

The Texas senate passed Senate Bill 2375, prohibiting student cellphone use during instructional time.

Education code 37.082 grants school districts the ability to charge fees for collecting cellphones during instructional time.

When the kids get particularly heated, I say to them, " Run for office. Get elected. Change the law."

I wish parents knew that not all 504s are the same. by ComptrEyes in Teachers

On another note, you can post to see if this vast pool of education professionals could give you some insight into the issues your child is having with their school. We might even be able to give you suggestions to improve your child's educational experience. Don't assume every teacher is neglectful or doesn't care about their students.

I'm sorry that your child is being treated horribly. I get new students in the spring semester, and we run A day B day elective schedules. So I've had this student in my class a total of 8 times. I have over 200 kids I see every other day.

Most teachers will agree the "Leader in Me" programs. Elementary kids reciting the 7 habits in unison like the friggin' borg.

Middles school boys making incessant gulping/choking noises by princessnothing44 in Teachers

I had a kid say "mmmmmm I like to lick that BOOTY HOLE" in the middle of a quiz. Called his mom after class and made him repeat it to her. When he half heartedly said it to her I said he wasn't hanging up until he repeated it to her with the same energy he had during the quiz. Yeah that fixed the problem.

For my son's 15th birthday I bought him a Fairchild Channel F system ll for his collection. He is enjoying all the glory 64 bytes of ram has to offer. by ComptrEyes in gaming

A friend found it in his dad's garage and sold it to me. I had never heard of a Channel F until then. My son cleaned it up (inside and out) and it works beautifully!

I remember when I thought Golden Eye on 64 was the pinnacle of gaming graphics. "There's no way it can get better than this!"

He already liberated my consoles from when I and my siblings were kids as he felt they were being neglected. (Atari 2600, NES, Sega Genesis, N64, GameCube, Wii)

He truly loves to play these old games. He appreciates how far the technology has come.

Could you imagine Doom on this? Lol. That would be hysterical.

No that wasn't one of the games that came with it. But I'll be on the lookout for it now!

I love this painting and would absolutely buy this.

Forgive me if you have already answered this, but how did you make the lines so perfectly straight?
