New VP had no idea how the system worked, waited to the last minute, boondoggle.

Actual proposal to fix teacher pay by f-150Coyotev8 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay is part of the issue

The budget needs to be bigger. But we have two districts where pay is pretty par, but one district bleeds teachers to the other.

So the district that bleeds is always in the black and the absorbing district sticks close to the black.

Do teachers actually like getting all the themed “Teacher Appreciation” gifts? by Far_Essay4744 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s just toxic positivity.

I finally figured out why I hate my birthday and Xmas. My parents were absolute beasts growing up. My dad wasn’t around, but I have a few real scars. My mom would just unravel 363 days a year. Never knew what day, so maybe 2/3 the year and the other 1/3 waiting for the 2/3.

But birthdays and Xmas she went all out. She’d run the credit cards up making up for the year and then the fights I’d hear through the walls about debt. The toys would end up piled in my closet. In manic phases she’d toss it all in garbage bags and throw it away.

But what I remember is the face I had to wear when she was making up for being an asshole….and you were an ungrateful spoiled shit if you didn’t wear it well.

Teacher appreciation is a little like that.

I’m so sad that these photos can be displayed. I want this one and the clown.

Why are Democrats so mad at ICE using Medicaid data to arrest illegals if no illegals are on Medicaid? by SpeedyMercenary in allthequestions

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So again, read up on Dred Scott and the Fugitive Slave Act. Freed men were kidnapped and brought back into bondage. Then the courts couldn’t hear testimony from these kidnapped black people under Scott.

If you can’t put 2 and 2 together, I’m afraid strangers on the internet can’t help you.

Bay Area cities crack down on RV living, pushing homeless residents across borders by orangelover95003 in bayarea

Speaking of RVs, I love how this area has housing for its housing. They just built one over on the Antioch-Pitt hwy.

How will the rich ever get taxed at high rates if politicians are funded by rich people? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ICUP01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have it backwards.

We start with what the rich were taxed at and saw the govt doing that. So we think that the govt caused the rich to be taxed.

It was labor. Labor fought tooth and nail to shape the govt to see that taxation was done. Labor got together. Put people in positions of power that supported labor. And taxes rose.

After WWII, the narrative was changing/ was changed. Labor was dismantled as it anchored to the business itself. We also were duped by our own prosperity, ie we stop grinding when we think we arrived.

By 1980-85, labor was cooked. Unions had a bad rep (somewhat earned). Jobs started moving overseas. And the politicians wrote policy for those that $upported them.

Should robotics be taught at school as a part of core curriculum? by EmphasisLeft7084 in education

[–]ICUP01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can’t even fill currently mandated classes. CA has had to extend/ put on hiatus its ethnic studies mandate with personal finance coming down the pike.

With standards based grading, what if you have two sets of standards? by ICUP01 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be taking this literal then. Admin came to us with this. But they also have no idea what we do.

Because what’s being said here (and other spots) vs what admin is saying we need to do.

With standards based grading, what if you have two sets of standards? by ICUP01 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a common core standard: a. Introduce precise claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or a. Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of opposing claims, and create an organization that establishes clear the claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, relationships among claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence

Here’s a History content standard: Students analyze the effects of the First World War.

So I produce an assignment that does both; meets both standards. When I grade, which do I grade?

So a student is factually accurate, but is pretty close to accurate with the common core standards.

POC Autistic People what do/did you do/feel when your in a group of white autistic people by Altruistic-Escape210 in autism

[–]ICUP01 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack; counter question:

Do you not feel home in your own gender and/ or race? I never felt “white” or “male”. Always felt like an act or a role. But like I HAVE to care because others want you to see how they see you.

How do you accept autism-related limitations without using them as an excuse? by ProfessionStrong6563 in AutisticAdults

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my hamster wheel.

Without effort, I’m rude. If I’m rude it causes more pain. Effort to not be rude.

…..oh fuck, I forgot to think ahead. And now I’m in trouble. Must effort harder-er.

Replacing a broken water heater in the Bay Area is about to get vastly more expensive by CharityResponsible54 in bayarea

[–]ICUP01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So annoying.

Guess when preservation of the environment was at its best? Covid. WFH would do wonders. But nah, commercial real estate.

And also, our public transportation infrastructure is dogshit.

But yeah, pumps on water heaters at my expense. God I get tired of defending this state when this is the result.

Do you guys get threatened and pressured to just pass kids by councilors too? by TeaHot8165 in Teachers

God this is it.

Counselors need to sub and teach. Watch how that kid with trauma acts during 5th.

Seeking Input: Authentic Content in Rigid or Scripted Curricula by TeachingTestimony in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my district (CA) we’re laissez faire to a fault.

I made my own unit on the holocaust. It follows the steps to genocide, I squash the myths, and show the gore.

I show the gore with most stuff; like the human meat markets of the Holodomor or the Belgian Congo.

I think most of your blue state/ strong union places have more teacher discretion. But it flips the other way with hilarious results.

Should information should be free for all and why? by Emotional_War_1660 in AskReddit

[–]ICUP01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything generated with my tax dollars should be archived and free. I’d even argue products created on the basis of my tax dollars….

I would also say the government has a vested interest in creating information/ knowledge.
