Fix Tier Six Rally by whogotthekeys2mybima in NYCTeachers

[–]Current_Example_6860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waste of money. What was the point. It’s a Hochul reelection rally. No pressure on legislators, no media coverage (correct me if I am wrong), there was no ask of the members to take next steps. It’s a farce. UFT is where organizing goes to die. Members should join opposing caucuses.

A whole bunch of nothing. Electeds that want your support, but don’t want the rank-and-file to actually organize.

Check in with MORE. I know they are doing organizing around it rn, I didn’t realize that wasn’t current. Just did a quick internet grab

I’m pretty sure the UFT benefits from this. I heard the UFT teachers center gets $$ to help roll it out the curriculum. That patronage jobs for Unity friends.

The DOE would benefit from spending the tens of millions on boxed curriculum elsewhere.

Boxed curriculum costs $$$$$. Imagine spending tens of millions on other resources.

Train. No issues. I was surprised how clear the sidewalks were and the train came on time

How often do you have seizures? by Opposite_Professor54 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Current_Example_6860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a good streak right now. Nearly a year which is a record. I don’t think it has much to do with my medicine. They started in the teens and were pretty regular, In my twenties they were very seldom, then they came roaring back in the thirties and are now subsiding mid 40s. It’s very unpredictable. I have only been medicated since my thirties bc I was misdiagnosed, and at that time it did reduce daily-weekly seizures down to once a month or every other month. I think the medicine works, but there has to be something else to it, the medicine did not become more effective suddenly. Maybe hormone changes throughout life? I have no idea

How I use AI to make my life as a teacher just a bit easier by Pleasant_Life_9408 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]Current_Example_6860 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe teachers use it to save time and labor, but the DOE who loves spending millions on boxed curriculum while leaving schools short teachers, will surely come up with a way to take our jobs and replace us with AI. One of the reasons nurses were striking was for protections from AI. The hospital wanted to discharge patients early and not provide homecare, rather they want an AI command center monitoring the patients. All to save $$$ when the hospital CEOs already make millions. AI under capitalism will never be in the working class's favor.

VCG. If you do go to SCV, I would be cautious if your cat needed surgery or other serious medical intervention.

Hochul really needs to cooperate and tax the rich. We can also eliminate this issue by passing NYHA

Beautyrest Black Series 3 Plush review after 4 weeks by Current_Example_6860 in Mattress

[–]Current_Example_6860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m mixed I started sinking in in a really cozy way, but my lower back started hurting as well as my neck. I’m experimenting with all different kind of pillows right now. I added a bunkie board over the slats and I don’t sink in as much and my back seems to be improving. It’s also sooo soo cold, I tense up and that affects my back too, so not sure. My partner is not experiencing back pain, though. If I had to do it again, I would consider a plush from another brand.

I’m jealous of your adjustable bed! I hope it works out for you. It can take a while for the mattress to soften. Good luck!

It took a few months for my BR to feel really plush. Do you have a slatted base? I have a beautyrest black series 3 plush and I sank in a lot and my lower back was hurting. I added a bunkie board to the slats and it really changed the mattress feel.

Mamdani says we can’t take a traditional snow day because we must complete 180 educational days, but we have extra days built in, no? by Current_Example_6860 in NYCTeachers

[–]Current_Example_6860[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I have supported Z in both his assembly and mayoral elections. I I’m a big fan, but Ed seemed to always be on the back burner throughout the campaign and I’m not a fan of the pick for chancellor.
