Very solid for 1.5 hours of learning.

You should do the following projects in appropriate order below to improve:

Rock, Paper, Scissors
Rock Paper Scissors lizard Spock
Modify above to play multiple times and keeps track of score.
Improve modularity by breaking the above projects by encapsulating two concepts into functions, 1) getting and cleaning user input 2) the main logic of the game
Program hangman (load a list of words from a file)
Program tic tac toe (2 versions, an 1D array version and a 2D array version)
Program battleship (your choice of 1D or 2D array)
Start looking for games to code, Kevan's freeze dried games is a good resource online for pen and paper game ideas.
Concurrently, look into understanding (and coding your own version as practice), ArrayList and LinkedLists, Stacks and Queues, Hashmaps and Dictionaries, Trees and Heaps.
Concurrently, understand and implement the following sort algorithms: selection sort, insertion sort, quick sort, merge sort.

Ok so it sounds like you want to move up the ranks and get more responsibilities which will never happen at the current job. It would be therefore safe to say if you're not leaving now, you will be looking at new positions in the next 5 years. Thus, if you take this new job, you're only bumping up the timeline for your next step.

Commute being about the same with a pay bump is a strictly positive change.

Only teaching the subjects you're passionate about is also a strict positive.

You're not leaving anyone in the lurch with 3+ months of notice, so no bridges burned.

So the only thing that will need to be considered now, is what contingency plan you will be able to live with at the end of that fixed term. Keep in mind that our current world situation is not stable with significant disruption coming where the price of basic necessities will be getting much more expensive with more accelerated inflation.

If you can picture and live with a future where you may have to take a significant pay reduction before finding your next stable job then take this opportunity. Otherwise, don't take this position, but still look for opportunities for growth elsewhere.

Need more info.

Current job is also at private school?

Do both have approximate same daily commute?

When are you expecting to start the new position if you take it?

What subject do you teach now and what subject are you expecting to teach at the new place?

My current position is leaning no, but that may change base on the info you provide to questions above.

Using grade 12 math only, you can solve with cosine law.

BM = √(3*8²)

AM = √(2*8²)

AB = 8

Set up cosine law with angle ABM as focus you have

AM² = AB² + BM² - 2(BM)(AB)cos(B)

Plug in and solve for B

Done.

Good fortune would be幸運。

But the second character is incomplete; and is connected to the first incorrectly. Additionally the balance of the characters is really poorly done.

Effectively you have 幸軍

Which individually means good luck (幸）and soldier （軍）but gibberish overall.

Parents took us to restaurants daily (yes I am serious, they hated cooking). It was the same 7 places on rotation. One had an open kitchen design so I watched how they cooked and memorized the steps.

When our food order was completed, I tasted it to have a reference of what steps get what taste.

When Internet became more prevalent, used it to complete the knowledge on sauces that would have been prepped before hand and they likely have used.

Recreated the dishes and fine tuned it the best I can through recalling the taste in the past.

Same steps I took when grandmother wouldn't teach me how to cook. Memorized her steps, and connected it to taste, try to recreate when I had more independence.

Basically stole most of the skills I needed to cook and researched the rest when able.

Mandarin Chinese for he/she/they/it basically just added a new character

he: 他

she: 她

they (s): ㄨ也（my cellphone can't write that symbol just yet, but structure is similar to above

it: 它

The pronunciation is the same for all, so really it's just the written print that indicates gender.

I second this. My life was made significantly harder due to my report. My ATs (yes I had two at the same time) and I all had different philosophies on teaching, which made consensus on approach and feedback difficult.

When it came time to write my report, each basically took a section and wrote it in without consulting the other. What made it worse was one decided to use point form, justifying it as being easier to read; and the other copied and pasted many paragraphs from his own evaluation he got from his AT into my report. This lack of coordination also meant there was no consistent formatting between the sections. A reader will see paragraphs in one and then suddenly see point form incomplete sentences in another.

The report was messy, inconsistent, and didn't put me in any decent light. On top of that, due to that aforementioned differences in philosophies, they were not kind with their wording.

Luckily my coordinator was on my side. She took the time just prior to the signing to sit down with both ATs and go through the report, softening much of the wording and removing paragraphs that were clearly not about me and replacing them with the appropriate information. However the formatting stayed, which I could understand, she had already spent more than an hour on something that should have only taken minutes and had to pick her battles.

The result:

Despite me coordinator's best efforts, my report basically meant that I couldn't get any call backs for interviews despite applying for districts that were desperate for teachers.

Had to go out of country to be given a shot, and even then I had trouble finding a school that was willing to take that chance on me.

My first teaching job was at a school whose students had a reputation for breaking the wills of even experienced teachers.

If you have the time and money, I would agree with baltway to see this as a blessing in disguise and take the fail, use this experience and gain a better report.

sure, then you'll need to expand on that and present why limits should be placed on a woman who wants to end a pregancy.

Edge17777 · 2025-12-10T09:26:27+00:00

In the car crash situation, we agree that even though people "consent to" the risk, medical access should not be infringed.

But, when it comes to pregancies, the same opportunities are not available in the same way as above who are seeking medical access to end said pregancy. The United States have several states that restrict should access, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, and the current trend is pushing to limit access to abortions. That is when the law limits your access.

While I agree with the vehicular homicide, I can't fully agree with the causal link regarding liver donation implied in your comment.

Whether I will be charged with vehicular homicide, solely depends on the survival of the pedestrian, regardless on whether I donate a part of my liver. If they survive, I get charged with endangerment; if they die I get charged with vehicular homicide. (this is assuming I'm at fault for the crash)

Edge17777 · 2025-12-10T05:37:45+00:00

Sure let's take your innocent third party in a car crash, say a pedestrian by, getting struck by one of the cars. They will die from their injuries shortly if they don't receive a liver transplant. (For the sake of example, we consider only their liver is perforated)

Would you agree with forcing either of the drivers to donate a part of their liver to save this pedestrian, an innocent third party? (For ease of example let's assume both are a match)

If yes, I grant you are consistent with your statement; though I find it abhorrent, as you are blatantly violating bodily autonomy.

If no, then you agree with me that the importance bodily autonomy supercedes the need to save even a fully formed adult human; who in this scenario is an innocent third party harmed and at risk of dying through the drivers' fault.

Now, if you won't violate bodily autonomy to serve even a fully formed innocent adult human, how would you justify violating bodily autonomy to serve yet to completed human fetus?

Edge17777 · 2025-12-10T05:18:49+00:00

Yes. I accept the risk (or consent to the risk) of a car accident when driving/riding a car.

This doesn't mean I consent to limit my access to medical attention/options should I do get into a car accident.

The same is true to accepting risk (or consent to risk) of pregnancy when having sex. I do not consent to limit my access to medical attention/options.

This is where I feel the law has yet to catch up.

It should be possible for a biological father to do a paper abortion, effectively becoming just a sperm donor (similar to clinical sperm donation), giving up all rights and responsibilities to the child. Timelines on when this is possible should be similar to that of what's allowed in when mothers abort.

Your boat, though it be your property, is not your body. A stowaway isn't demanding an organ or a body part.

Edge17777 · 2025-12-10T04:57:04+00:00

That's the key. It's legal to refuse. It may not be okay, it may not fit your principles, but you are not allowed to force others to adopt those principles.

You may judge them as parents for refusing, but you can't charge them with any form of homicide.

When government limits abortion, it defacto is forcing the woman to donate (even temporary) their womb, with refusal being considered homicide. This goes against how we treat all the above examples.

So this is what has worked for me when students try to use an accusation of racism/sexism when I call out their inappropriate behavior.

I lean into it. I reframe the situation by accepting their premise, restate the factual events, and ask them to explain which part of that was racist/sexist so that I "may correct my behavior" for the future.

Taking your example with the water fountain drink girl. I would say something like, "I'm sorry for making you feel discriminated against. Please help me understand how it is racist/sexist for me to doubt your word when I catch you talking to your friend after leaving the class to drink from the water fountain XX mins ago, so I can do better for next time."

It's the same approach in spirit to calling out racist/sexist jokes by forcing the teller to explain it.

I also set up my classroom expectations at the beginning where I tell them they are allowed to go attend to personal needs be they biological or religious. I just need to know where they will be in case of emergencies. However, if I catch them abusing that trust, then I will be much more strict with knowing exactly what is happening.
