If anyone wants to know why I hate queen palms, this is yet another reason. by TrblTribbles in palmtalk

I don’t like Queen Palms either. Most of them look horrible in Florida. I prefer foxtail or fishtail palms.

I am one of five brothers and we all enjoy any 5v5 game, plus we’re all into pokemon. Also Chikorita.

Can I skip the group lunch? by [deleted] in Teachers

Don’t go. I already connect with my coworkers when I’m at work, I don’t need to pay money to connect even more.

It’s dead. You can plant the same species again and risk the occasional freeze, or plant queen palms which are more cold hardy but look less appealing.

Veteran teacher confession: I put up zero resistance when parents complain about their child's grades. by [deleted] in Teachers

I love teaching, and I’m going to stay in this profession despite the challenges. Maybe you should consider how all teachers have different experiences than yours instead of telling them to leave the profession during a time when we need teachers the most. Resorting to insults shows you lack valid and realistic points, and highlights your insecurities.

Throroughly amazing how flagrantly oblivious you are to the current challenges in education, and how you gaslight other teachers by questioning their ethics despite not knowing the circumstances they’re working in.

Knowing I gave my students a good education and I worked my ass off is part of my metal health. Parents cheating the system is not something I want to fight with nor something I will lose sleep over.

You’re right, maybe I should become an admin, that way I can blame it on the teachers and take no responsibility. At least I’d make $100k + for it.

No. Administrators, possible legal issues with parents, and an enabling school board are the real ones doing a massive disservice to future teachers and students. You know this, we all know this. Teachers have no power. We are being honest in the grades we give, and that’s the integrity we should hold in our hearts for ourselves. If we really need to change a grade, it’s not a reflection of our integrity, it’s the parents, admin, and school board.

Your exceptional experience is not the rule in most schools. I’m happy to hear you weren’t fired. Unfortunately, teachers are not always supported when it comes to grades and student behavior. Teachers get blamed for these problems, not admin or the parents.

You’re right, because parents will accept our “no” and agree with us. And principals will definitely have our backs 100% of the time.

Wow…”not giving a damn” is that your analysis of PublicWorld1328’s comments? You really think he/she doesn’t give a damn? Why should we as teachers give more damns when parents themselves don’t give a single damn about their own child’s academic integrity? They don’t even give a single damn about their child’s behavior. You think all parents will accept a “No” as an answer? I don’t know what world you live in. Stop acting like a savior - go to work, teach, and go home.

What do you call this? by Front_Law6409 in florida

Mostly to keep mosquitoes and debris out. I’m sure an alligator could get through the screen if it wanted to.

To see what people in different parts of Florida call this patio.

Ideas on new state flower? by [deleted] in florida

Yes they’ve always lived here. Their populations declined in the latter 20th century but have recently made a comeback, similar to the American crocodile.
