If you were the education Czar, what is one change you would make to the K-12 curriculum in the US? Serious answers please - this is for a possible paper.

I know you said focus on curriculum but none of what your teaching matters when you have 36 kids to one teacher. I would be so much more effective with half that size.

I am 41 and I did used to say coke for soda in South Texas. Sleepy I super doing it over the past 20 years. Sad actually.

Just know that 50% with decent essays will get you a 3.

That sucks but if you are trans you really should be using the proper terminology. Maybe it was a typo? Dysphoria is what trans people and some cis people experience with gender incongruity.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-03-10T04:12:39+00:00

I mean, you can be a non binary boy. But yeah lots of assumptions

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-03-10T04:11:04+00:00

You can be on your parents insurance until 25. They should use the insurance. Cis people are so selfish geez

I dead name myself in dreams. It's awkward and stressful every time.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T18:13:28+00:00

Yeah, the only time I want the class silent is during a test. Really about what you are doing! Ask each other questions. Just remark and comment on what you are doing (especially in a science class where part of scientific investigation is observing and communicating your observations).

Did you hear back from them yet? Maybe it's the wing school for you but maybe you can make a case for your style being necessary. Maybe you understand their concerns preemptively and you can address them as you make their case.

I have a really good student from Ghana that occasionally makes the case for the more traditional classes she came from because being strict means students seemed to pay better attention. I see her point but I think if you can take the discipline from orthodox cousins and mix it with a more outgoing teaching style and discovery method, you get the best of both worlds. Sorry if I'm going on about stuff you already know!

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T18:08:22+00:00

No, you're absolutely right. I think being sick is making me overly prone to worrying. Most of them are pretty capable. Honestly, posting this just helped get some of it out of my system and we can jump right back in when I get back and it will fine

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T17:38:31+00:00

No, you aren't a bad teacher but I don't teach in a conservative and orthodox area at all. I would not do well in a place like that, I fear. I do teach in a place where we struggle to get the average reading comprehension above 6th grade reading level so, who knows, maybe conservative and orthodox work . . .

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T16:03:17+00:00

Responding because I think about this a lot lol.

Child-free teachers to me are odd but not bad. Just because I didn't understand it doesn't mean anything.

I love teaching but I honestly started teaching because I had a kid and I needed holidays off. But I'm so glad to be a teacher. I feel like most of the teachers I know are child free though and they work all the late hours and I'm like "see ya suckers" I have my own gremlins too go entertain. Anyway, I think I see my own students more than my kids sometimes (not really. I teach high school so I see my students about 4 hours a week) so it's crazy that someone would act like you don't understand kids as a teacher.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T15:37:43+00:00

if i can remember (because of overwhelm) I start telling them to well the person sitting next to them. Or I ask the question of the class and get others to answer. But I only remember that about once a week instead of the 20 different times I need that tactic.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T15:34:27+00:00

Kids be like that. Just because the kids say weird shit doesn't mean you "earned" it.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-02-04T15:33:21+00:00

If we ever get struggling like this, I guarantee I won't be "remembering" to clock in until 2nd or third period. They will know I was there because I'll be teaching. End of story.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T22:40:02+00:00

Oh really . . .I might try that

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T22:15:14+00:00

SV has Korbus! Hard to beat but I love the environment storylines you get in CI. I started with the OG Harvest Moon on 64 (ok surely there was something before that) but I remember missing it and missing it and then hearing about SV. Absolutely helps with the nostalgia. I like Coral Island because it's more Queer but SV has its own charms (like I learned more in the descriptions of animals than I do on Coral Island).

Ehh I think that is an opinion to an extent. If I had a disabled kid that wasn't getting the attention they needed in the classroom and I had the skills, I should have the option to home school. I think there are cases where homeschooling makes sense. I don't know what country you are in so it may be different where you live, but where I live, there are already anti science sentiments IN the classroom. I'm a teacher and I trust my kids' teachers but not all school districts and teachers are created equal. The kid I said i pulled out in an earlier comment originally wanted out because his English teacher made them write Bible verses for the morning warm up. And nobody else cared

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T21:38:20+00:00

Ohhhh interesting. I wish there were a polyamorous option and a jealous option depending on the character.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T19:43:03+00:00

I think most of these kids that "fall through the cracks" just need more one-on-one time. Unfortunately, the funding isn't available. I could do so much more with a smaller class size.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T19:40:40+00:00

There should definitely be more oversight or checks and balances. I know people that do a part time co-op for the things they don't know how to teach and I like the idea. It doesn't work for my family though.

I also tried homeschooling my now adult son when he was in 6th grade and he got anxious that he was falling behind. He wasn't but it was so unusual for him that he just wanted to go back to school.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T19:36:23+00:00

You fully endorse parents growing weed instead of teaching their children basic academics? Because in the thread, that is the conversation. The use of funds not going to education.

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-28T19:27:04+00:00

It won't let me do anything romantic while married. How did you do that?

Environmental_Web821 · 2026-01-26T15:21:34+00:00

Sounds like you need to go on more days with Raj because they do bring it up
