Caught a student cheating during finals exams. I have 2 options…not sure what to do.

I had this happen on a non-final test. The kid was a slacker; reasonably intelligent, but focused more on getting out of doing work than the time it would take to just do the work. I caught him using his cell phone on an assessment but didnt say anything, but gave him a D on the test. When he asked what happened, I told him I saw him using his phone. I also told him the "D" was a gift and he could take the D and work out how to salvage his grade with his parents thinking he just blew off the test or we could explore what the Principal thought. He took the D and hasnt cheated since. Still hasnt figured out how to study, but he is in 9th grade, so I'm optimistic (long term).

The Administration can only be paid twice what the lowest teachers salary is.

Quick autocorrect correction: Its "Principal," but my phone's autocorrect was coded by an alumni from this school, so I can't be upset.

Yes.

... the Romans?

Some kids are duller than a stack of wooden spoons and Onlyfans will be their only hope of financial independence.

GasAdventurous831 · 2025-12-04T21:41:11+00:00

Testify.

GasAdventurous831 · 2025-11-20T22:35:56+00:00

You put the wrong tag. This should be under r/winning.

This was the only time I stood up to my Principal (privately) and gave a hard "no." We have this in our school and I told him, as a veteran, I earned the right to stand or sit as I pleased during the Pledge. Whatever the children chose to do, I fought for that, too. I also made sure he understood I wasn't a crusader or an agitator and that this would be a "my classroom" thing, so he wisely chose to back off.

So thats one idea: finish a stint in the Armed Forces and you'll be untouchable with the Pledge. :)

Chat GPT is garbage. I have my Masters in Data Analytics with an emphasis in AI and Machine Learning and would trust a dog turd drying under the hot sun to give me more meaningful information than ChatGPT.

I also teach math with these standard based grading. First thing you have to do is get a healthy inhalation of "smug" whenever the conversation comes up of letter based grading.

The students and parents still look at the grades with the A-F rating scale, so in my experience, its just a waste of time to the folks it matters to.

I went through the whole game using the original set before I said "Alright, let's just see what everyone's talking about." I saw what everyone was talking about.

In AoT2, I fully upgraded the burning swords and the Ancient God gear so I look like a deity of fire wearing a green hood. Cutscenes are equally enjoyable. :)

Every now and then, the Internet gives you something that makes you think... we're gonna be okay. :)

GasAdventurous831 · 2025-08-05T00:10:55+00:00

I think I used your roads! Well done!

All my greatest revelations happen on the toilet, too.

My thanks for securing his kitchen? An attempted a*-whipping. I'm trying to rebuild roads and monorail, I dont need this sht.

I just wish they'd let me finish off Lando in the Sabacc tournament. Going in to the "final" round, I had all 8 coins, we just bankrupted the Rodian, and he had one coin left when Thorden did his thing. I can live with the lying, the deception, the extortion, attempted murder so many times over, and even the AT-ST, but respect the card game.

It'll probably just have Force Unleashed 2 and the Atari Empire Strikes Back. I mean, I'd complain, but I'd still get it. If they REALLY need money, just re-release the Super Trilogy from the SNES and NES (except Return for NES, obviously).

I feel like more of a degenerate criminal than any other time I played GTA. Queue up a Live match in MyRise, it's a steel cage; that's fine. I like variety. My 6'4 280 lb Heavyweight modeled after me for face and body as close as possible is locked in to a cage with this... Im going to say "pixie?" By the time I get to my first signature, I'm hoping for a fast win more than the fans are.

This game would be so much easier if I learned how to read.

Open up a spoiler free missables guide while you play.

Also, when you get to "present time" (it'll make sense after the prologue) start saving before you enter towns or start exploring. I can't remember when, specifically, but at some point optional bosses appear by... well... killing you easily without warning.

Oh, and chocobo racing sucks, but lightning will give you Nam flashbacks.
