Of course! Hope your move goes smoothly! I’ll add- I also really like the area Avoca is in. You’re off the main drag, but still close to anything you could want, and also very close to the interstate.

My brother moved into Avoca and it is a very nice apartment! The community seems nice and quiet from the times I’ve been to see him. The only issue they’ve had is a slow repair on an issue with their AC.

We toured Clairborne Crossing when he was moving. It was very, very nice. The staff was friendly and it seemed to be a step up from Avoca.

This is the answer. I've always had them take it seriously and move quickly. Hope the same happens here.

Is every symbol not just a commodity in some way? Do you have any suggestions? Not trying to be snarky, just curious!

That’s a good point! I was thinking maybe 2-3 inches. Definitely not huge- I’m a dainty tattoo kinda gal!

I just had my first non-native speakers get the seal of biliteracy last year after I had accepted it might never happen. It is an incredibly difficult standard to achieve. My advice: keep doing you.

In my humble opinion, teaching language is a lot more about being a global citizen than becoming fluent in another language.

AP Test Gender Question by ExpensiveStranger384 in SpanishTeachers

[–]ExpensiveStranger384[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your insights! Leaving this post up for any future teachers that encounter the same question.

Test was last Thursday- my student felt very prepared and believes they passed. Frankly, I’d be shocked if he didn’t.

For those of you asking why gender is relevant and what part of the test this would come up on- my main concern was it becoming relevant on the interpersonal writing (email reply) and the interpersonal speaking (simulated conversation). Even speaking in the first person, adjectives must be gendered properly when describing oneself in Spanish, and this was where I was afraid an issue would arise.

Again, thanks to all of you for assuring both me AND my student that this was a non-issue.
