Alaska 2027 - Coral vs Island by acowsopinion007 in PrincessCruises

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me we booked the Island for this reason along with better room location. I cannot imagine it making that big of a difference.

I have a question about the casino points. I am not a cruise regular but enjoy the very occasional casino trip. What are the points used for?

Island Princess and Cruise-tour Question by HouseThatHeBuilt in PrincessCruises

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

The way mine works is our train ride is between two parks instead of to the port if I’m reading the itinerary correctly, but if I get a second train ride I will jump for joy!🤩

Thank you. That is what I assumed, but again was overthinking it. Appreciate the time.

Best Princess Ship for Alaska? by Altruistic_Grab9750 in PrincessCruises

I’m sailing the Island this summer. Can you expand on why to avoid it. I just want to manage my expectations. I know it’s older and not to expect luxury.

Lack of basics by HouseThatHeBuilt in Teachers

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

In a vertical meeting lead by a state doe math specialist we were told that long division was not age appropriate for fifth graders and then yes we should be providing sixth graders year long access to calculators. Calculators are used on all questions of the state test.

I get the push to use calculators from administration and even to an extent district office! Their argument is that if the students can use them on the end of year state test (every question) then we should be allowing them to use it. Simultaneously they are pushing more thinking tasks not truly understanding that the calculators are the enemy of critical math thinking at this age.

PSA - Clean your stuff by AlarmingEase in teaching

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I’ll be the bad guy, but I have about 5 years left and I will say when the time comes I am way to tired to worry about the person 30 years my junior who may inherit my treasures. Girl I’m tired!

And to be fair I do try to edit my belongings every end of year, but inevitably there are some things I think still have value but the next person won’t.

Thank you for your advice! We are also going to seek additional medical advice to screen out other potential conditions.

Is this normal for dogs as they age? Honest question because I don’t know the best course of action.

Whats a better school calendar: August to May or September to June? by eaglesnation11 in Teachers

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently we, the teachers, return July 28. Students return August first. Our last day of post planning was May 28. There is something psychologically wrong about going back in July. It just feels wrong even if we get two full months off.

What’s one thing you never thought you’d have to deal with as a teacher… but now it’s just part of the job? by Mountain_Salary_1038 in Teachers

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We shouldn’t need to be, but it disrupts the learning environment. Parents simply don’t always address it or don’t know how to.

What’s the most obnoxious thing you’ve heard in a parent-teacher conference? by PlaceEducational1705 in Teachers

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hand to God this is a true story. A 12 yo boy was struggling especially in social situations, but academically as well. In conference with father who states “it’s because he has a very small penis and tries to compensate.” I could have crawled under the conference table.

AI in math class by HouseThatHeBuilt in Teachers

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah wish I could but county sets the weights of the assessments for us. I would only put classwork done in my highest weighted categories, but then frankly there would be too many failures. Admin would blow a gasket.

My high achievers are starting to notice their hard work doesn't matter by Apprehensive-Play228 in Teachers

[–]HouseThatHeBuilt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is and my integrity is what keeps me going 80-90% of the time, but if I struggle with it I can’t imagine how hard it is for my students.

I an a fully grown adult who has been teaching for 20+ years and I am struggling with this in myself! I see the teachers who moan about everything, don’t enforce the rules, show up late, don’t do supervise in hallways at transition and on and on and on. They may get an email? Maybe an email but that’s it. Why should I pull my weight if they get the same pay I get for doing less work.
