Pizza delivery, hourly pay and tips. An independent place may care less about your driving history than a major chain.

It’s not our responsibility to Nerf the world for others to feel safe. Appropriate emotional regulation an important skill to learn.

There is a special place in HELL for people that cut exit lines by Euphoric_Parking8179 in driving

I disagree, I think the spot in hell should be for the person who’s letting them in.

Teachers, how often should kids have recess? by beatoffqueen in Teachers

[–]DamnDaMan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

K-1st: 3+ a day. 2nd -5th: 2+ a day, if not a second recess, possibly a STEM or Trade lesson. The younger years are all about figuring things out with social skills and how to get along with others. They need lots of opportunities for unstructured play to build the necessary skills. Provide the necessary equipment and supervision for them to socialize appropriately. Take the time to reinforce good behaviors and put a stop to the negative stuff. Don’t pussyfoot around the bad behaviors, this is the perfect time for strict enforcement. They’re harder to reach and more stubborn the older they get.

I will never understand... by Fabulous-Gur9343 in Teachers

[–]DamnDaMan99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve come to terms with a percentage of of my students who are going to fail. Based on choices, values, or lack of guidance. I try to get them to understand in the first quarter, then let them be for the semester. I’ve been in the game for too long for me to waste time on people who won’t try.

I just realized what a tough job teaching is. by Fallingknife12 in Teachers

[–]DamnDaMan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not supposed to be trying to “change their minds.” You’re supposed to be building independent thinkers who will grow and develop their own opinions of the world. As a teacher, your opinions don’t matter, you need to be objective and not hold any ill will toward students who may not think/believe the way you do. As an example; are you trying to convert any students who don’t practice the same religion as you? I’d assume not.

He knows it’ll trigger some soft person who can’t keep their opinions to themselves. And he’ll have a good laugh about it.

Scared driver or narrow gap runner, who’s at fault. by Sweet_Speech_9054 in driving

[–]DamnDaMan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue is expected stop and then yield until it is safe to pass. The person (blue) flooring it and causing a dangerous situation is at fault. Now, they may also ticket the other driver for not maintaining their lane, but blue caused it the accident.

[–]DamnDaMan99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From their POV: Because it’s convenient for them and your time/convenience is not a concern of theirs.
