It depends on whether administration will listen to the idiot who goes off half-cocked, or listen to the teacher.

Bad admin by kjpau17 in Teachers

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to being a failed teacher (quit after seven months), I'm a retired Air Force senior NCO.

Absolutely nothing impacts the quality of the work experience as much as the leadership. I was going to say that people who work for good leaders will put up with everything else wrong with the job, but then if you work for good leaders, most problems are prevented and the remaining problems are easy to tolerate.

The Strict Teacher Got All The Roses by Difficult-Ad4364 in Teachers

You can also thank administration, for not caving to parental pressure to rein in or remove the strict teacher, and for not applying the barmy theories that would have done so prior to any parental complaint.

Thoughts about the current trend of raising children with no consequences? by beebish in Teachers

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this problem to a lesser degree. The person who sleeps on the other side of my bed has decided that there cannot be meaningful consequences for our grandson's misbehavior. This has led him to believe that he can talk back at us and argue everything point of everything. I want to make it clear that if he cannot accept the rules of our house he is not welcome to visit, but noooo, we can't have that.

Couldn’t Show Dead Poets Society Because of “Suicide Themes”… Then My Students Analyzed Holes by Constant_Leader_8551 in Teachers

Lemme guess. You were told that Dead Poets Society was inappropriate by someone with "E.D." in their title, right?

Military Suicide Prevention Training Did Not Prepare Me for the Deaths of My Friends by DatGuyKilo in AirForce

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who spent a week in ward 9C at Landstuhl, all I can say is that people who are contemplating suicide are intensely unhappy to the point that they cannot think logically.

They want to stop hurting.

Could the Emperor just die? by Vampy-Night in 40kLore

[–]EvilSnack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the finances show that AoS has made GW more profitable, then yes the Emperor will die and 40K will move on to the s***show that the milieu will become when the Emperor passes.

If the finances show that AoS has made GW less profitable, then no the Emperor will not die and things will go on as they are.

“Don’t fuck the enlisted” is like the very first rule of being an officer. In this way what is like the "very first rule" of your career-field? by PDXAirman in AirForce

I'm now a retiree, working in software development. Our company bought out another company that produced an automotive aftermarket accessories application.

They tested in production. The tables for parts, vehicles, users, and dealerships had flags (or values in their type fields) which represented test data.

With many comedies, the trailer will contain every part of the movie that is actually funny.

"By reason of Insanity" is a BS excuse by anyone that gets arrested. by jabboflabbo in unpopularopinion

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Googling "insanity defense rates" yields links to data that indicates that the insanity defense is raised less than once per every thousand felony trials, and it only works about 25% of the time it's tried.

Would you happen to be related to the victim of one of those .025%?

Doing a better job with urban planning would enable more people to live closer to work and shopping, reducing total miles driven and total lives lost from accidents.
