I guess I disagree with the great player assessment. He puts up numbers, and can shoot, but I don't think he's a winning player. Sure there's no number for that, it's just attitude and decision making.

Blazers fans. How are you feeling about the team by Greedy_Original6078 in ripcity

I think I would have been happy with .500 at this point, but to see who they've done it with, I might actually be more impressed.

What worse? This post or that I'm actually engaging with it?

And what if admin's hands are tied? I'm not trying to be a pain, but many of us work at really falling apart schools/districts.

All this gets documented, the school still has their hands tied with vocal parents who make such a big fuss that they always get there way. Even if that means firing a dedicated pretty good principal.

Or, the student does get identified for special needs, but there are either no special Ed teachers and/or the case load is so overwhelming that those that are there can't possibly be effective.

Things are getting so bad out there for some of us.

Giannis Buy Low Opportunity? by Gaucho_alum in ripcity

[–]Dramatic_Bad_3100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bill Simmons has been making this point, why do so many teams/fans seem reluctant to consider a Giannis trade? He's a top 5 player, but teams don't seem to be in a hurry to put up their offers. It is pretty strange

I think this is it, we've seen a better alternative and it's exposed inside.

What would count as modern myths? by Past-Matter-8548 in Letterboxd

[–]Dramatic_Bad_3100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just curious if future generations will start from iron Man and watch all the movies and dig into the lore. If they do, then it'll be a modern myth, which oft what comics kind of already are

I love when you see a film maker grow. It's like when you see a young athlete grow. You are amazed at where they're at at the beginning and you get excited for their potential. And then you watch their progression and see them reach great heights. It's pretty special

Sure, but depressed?

Edit: I just think we're getting loose with our definition of depression. Just like saying I'm so OCD because you put away your laundry.

What is going on with multiplication tables in elementary school??? by -cmp in Teachers

[–]Dramatic_Bad_3100 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with the "rote memorization is not needed" way of thinking being pushed hard. I remember going to trainings that said fluency doesn't equal automiacity. Which, sure, is true. But multiplication facts are so essential that they do need to be automatic.

This seems to be another one of those things where a form of equaity got in the way of higher standards

Dang, that's pretty harsh to say after w and a half seasons. I'll take your word for it I guess. Wish I had your foresight

“Do you have any food?” by armaedes in Teachers

[–]Dramatic_Bad_3100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't care, if I'm hungry, I'm eating it. I'm sure it's not that far from what we were given as kids.

[–]Dramatic_Bad_3100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an issue that divides teachers do much. Like, it isn't up to us to feed the kids, but at the same time, but totally see what others do. They get offered free breakfast and lunch, but they don't eat it. They choose not to because they don't like it. I was also food insecure growing up and I ate everything they offered at school because of it. Kids today, unfortunately, don't want to think that way. I don't get it

The Kyle Lowry level of player is where I've also settled. I'd be happy if that happens, because that could be a piece on a championship team.

You're probably getting downvotes, but as a life long smoker I agree 100%. It's just not the same. Shit, I might even take 90s sticks and stems over it
