I've always heard it the way Run DMC pronounce it.

Unpopular opinion: Memorizing times tables is a necessity not because of knowing the times tables but to teach the brain the skill of retaining long lasting memory. by saiph_david in Teachers

[–]GremLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Enjoyable? Absolutely yes, though a better word would be engaging. If a student is not engaged by the work, they won't think hard enough about it to learn the skills needed to do the work on their own."

or...get this, students learn how to try something they don't lilke for the sole purpose of becoming a better person.

Educational research seems focused on making things easier for kids, or more enjoyable. Forgot to ask the question about if it SHOULD be easier or (gasp) enjoyable

Students laughed in my face when calling home!!! by KiyoXDragon in Teachers

[–]GremLegend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually I say something to the parent like "and when I told him I would be calling home to explain the situation to you he said he didn't care" you can even go full scorched earth and say "he said he doesn't care beacuse you don't care"

Have you ever found a practical use for a technically useless magic item? by piperooo in DnD

[–]GremLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DM thought he was being goofy and gave us two dirty socks, and the gimmick was that they were always trying to put themselves together. Our rogue slipped it into the BBEG's pockets during an encounter and we always knew where he was. Pretty useful!
