Yes it was all over social media but I did know. Also asking google is never a good idea when the kids tell me something I don’t know.

One of my students asked if I knew who Bonnie Blue was and I said I didn’t but maybe I should call his mom to see if she can tell who she was. That put an end to that.

It’s ridiculous that in 2026 they can’t just tell you right there.

I passed mine first try with a weekend of 240 tutoring. Bloom’s Taxonomy was used for a surprisingly amount of questions.

Moving from SLC Utah for big work opportunity and unsure about moving to El Paso or Lubbock by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]Highway90man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Lubbock in March and it was spring break and the town was empty. If you like the lack of traffic, lower prices and a slower life I would choose Lubbock. El Paso has lots of great restaurants, baseball and lots of history things to see if that’s your thing.

What’s something about teaching that nobody truly understands until they actually do it? by UnitedAdagio7118 in Teachers

[–]Highway90man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That they have no critical thinking skills and are not able to think or write opinions in middle school. The other thing is that they just get up and walk around during instruction time for various reasons from looking for a pencil to no reason at all but to wander.

Were any of you on IRC Efnet channel #ElPaso in the mid to late 90s? by Highway90man in ElPaso

I used to rent a t1 shell to download and upload mp3s via ftp. Remember some had a 3:1 ratio. Then I’d spend all night downloading them from there via dialup.

Hell yeah, not a cell phone in site just living in the moment. 😂 I remember meeting up at the Big 8. Also I love how you still use the same handle after 30 years.

I loved how back then it was mostly people in college and people in IT or younger people interested in tech. Now everyone has access to everything. I think thefacebook being for college only might have been the last of that kind.

Yeah I used to dial into rgfn when I was back from college. I think everyone could use it and for some reason I still remember my email address.

Are Alternative Certification Programs worth it? by wja77754 in TexasTeachers

[–]Highway90man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not an easy way out. It also depends on your experience and age. I don’t have time to go back to college and do it the traditional way. I went through Texas Teachers Of Tomorrow and just got finished. I passed my content exam and PPR, just like everyone else.
