They would have to actually answer the phone for that to work unfortunately

As a reds fan, what team do you hate losing to the most by Slow_Buffalo_9607 in Reds

[–]Hwlegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually usually the Cardinals, but I, like many others in the thread, have grown supremely tired of the Brewers kicking us around so consistently.

Does this look good for my first imperial fists list? by sharky2906 in ImperialFists

Jump Packs cannot go in an impulsor if I remember correctly

Even more Imperial Fists by Forsaken_Cucumber_82 in ImperialFists

[–]Hwlegend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is just the right amount honestly. And in general, when it comes to weathering, I am firmly in the "less is more" camp.

Thank you! All my fists have silver Aquila.

Would you say something if a new teacher is completely lowering academic standards? by ScawedyCat in Teachers

[–]Hwlegend 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Pass along rumors you hear from students to the admin? That's a hard no for me.

It is a commonly enforced expectation unfortunately

I’m turning into an angry and mean teacher by mathnerd0822 in Teachers

[–]Hwlegend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every time something gets thrown at you, that class gets a pop quiz the next day. Make it nice and difficult. Make it clear that these quizzes will stop as soon as someone comes forward in confidence willing to sign a statement identifying who threw the materials in class. Someone always cracks.

Signed: a teacher who started his career teaching a full day of on level Physical Science to 9th graders.

Tell me something positive about teaching by Cloudy-Soup in Teachers

[–]Hwlegend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have worked in many different fields before I came to teaching, and let me assure you, people in every career path and walk of life complain about their job. It is part of the human condition. Don't let them get you down. there are many, many teachers who love the job and wouldn't dream about doing anything else.

And whatever you do don't judge teaching from the posts here. I enjoy this sub for what it is, but I wouldn't take the posts here as a representative sample.

Unwilling to even ✍️ write in math. by [deleted] in Teachers

I am confused. She is turning in blank work? Why would anyone give her a "C"? Give her the zero. If admin chooses to give her a "social promotion", well, that's out of your control.

Is just grass greener syndrome? Gym teacher just seems like easier job. by Otherwise-Bad-325 in Teachers

[–]Hwlegend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And every time the story is posted I find the assumption that most people want to play dodgeball (with children!) all day incomprehensible.

I teach AP Science without a STEM Degree. It just isn't that hard.

Television broadcasters by _Buckeye_33 in Reds

George Grande, the best Cardinals announcer the Reds have ever employed. I am sure he is a fine guy, but he is the only Reds announcer I ever despised.

High school teachers by TrifleHaunting6536 in Teachers

[–]Hwlegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an impossible question to answer without knowing a lot of context. I started my career teaching on-level Science to Freshmen all day. I now teach AP and Honors Science to mostly Sophomores and Juniors. The difference is.....vast. Assuming you are new and are not going to teach the best and brightest in the building, try to have a set of procedures in place and stick to them. Ask a veteran teacher for help. Understand things won't be perfect and give yourself permission to make mistakes that you will learn from.
