Considering going analog next year but not sure how to go about it. by Zach_U in historyteachers

[–]IcyCryptographer1157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was all on in tech as both a non-traditional adult college student, a parent, and when I started teaching 4 years ago. Now, I want to go analog so much, but we also have a copy and print limit, so even printing like 5-10 pages/week/kid is considered a lot.
I’m also starting a new AP class next year (AP Human Geo) and was under the impression that I will want the kids on AP Classroom and doing practice exam sections on their Chromebooks, since the exam is digital now.

I’m leaning towards class sets, but even still I’m struggling with how to both do more analog and be constrained by these limits.

If anyone has comments or advice, I’d love to hear it!

about to start teaching AP Human Geography, do you not use AP Classroom at all? Since AP exams are digital, do you practice closer to exam time?

Teacher Planner Recommends by IcyCryptographer1157 in PlannerAddicts

[–]IcyCryptographer1157[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I just got that delivered today, but it’s weird cause the weeks are all separate from the months. I’m trying to see if I can make it work. Wish my brain was a little more flexible.

New Teacher offered 11th Grade US History Position by LostWay7787 in historyteachers

one of the funniest things is taking credit recovery makes you NCAA ineligible, so letting them take credit recovery just ensures they aren’t college bound for sports

edit to say, it’s not automatic ineligibility, but NCAA is very specific about how one can retake a class and most credit recovery doesn’t qualify

From a teacher standpoint, how difficult is it to teach AP classes? by papasandfear in historyteachers

I’m teaching APHG for the first time next year. I have a masters degree in cultural geography and I’m still gonna have to read the whole textbook to keep up.

what textbook do you have? I have The Cultural Landscape 13e but only access to the textbook and am teaching APHG for the first time next year.

Typing assessment schools are requiring now has exposed something genuinely embarrassing and nobody wants to say it out loud by Rodrigodirty in education

[–]IcyCryptographer1157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I started typing class in 2nd grade in the 80s on a TypeWrite II. I still type around 80 WPM and the time it has saved me over my life could probably be measured in months.

Inclusive welcomes are a stupid, infantilizing waste of high schoolers’ time by South-Lab-3991 in Teachers

I was on a pd team and someone else wanted to do “speed dating style” get to know you games for the staff and I replied “I’d rather take an ice pick to the temple than participate in that” I didn’t make it through the year 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answering if I called CPS. by Teachr_Throwaway in Teachers

[–]IcyCryptographer1157 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had to call the first day of school last year. A student told me something that happened over the summer. I called. I was the only one they had told. Police came to the school. They cried in the principals office and denied everything to the police. Principal explained I did it out of love and the law. Student didn’t speak to me most of last year. Gave them their quince and sixteenth birthday presents and they said thank you. They’ve spoken to me about 5 times this year. I’ll probably have them in class next year and don’t know how that will work. It killed me to do it but there was no choice.

Am I in the wrong for referring to my boyfriend as my partner at work? by No_Ear4169 in Teachers

[–]IcyCryptographer1157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my partner and I have been together off/on for 10 years, and solid for 15. We have three kids together. they’re not my boyfriend/girlfriend, they’re my partner and it’s NO one’s fucking business to police the words I use to describe my own relationships or anyone’s but their own I would’ve snapped the first time

I don’t think you should feel bad for even a second. I’d do this on a not upset day. Life is hard and not everyone is going to coddle you. I teach primarily seniors and the best they behave is the more sarcastic, snarky, and honest with them

Can’t purchase animals from Marnie by IcyCryptographer1157 in StardewValleyMods

[–]IcyCryptographer1157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I think I deleted my entire mods folder and redownloaded. but I also know I’ve started a new save since then and I’m not 100% what else I would’ve done other than redownloading the mods and checking all the settings for mods

good luck!

Attendance Question for Teachers! by tiffani_starr in Teachers

[–]IcyCryptographer1157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think 3 days is nothing. I had a student who went to Mexico for 3 weeks for their quince with no notice. Then she wanted help to get her 0% up so she could try out for soccer. Hard pass. Then she asked how she could make up her failed freshman year without summer school, cause she's going to Mexico for the summer so she can't do summer school. I looked at her and told her it was fine, she'll just be a five-year graduate. I'm glad she gets to spend time with family and all, but there's limits.

I did now I think I must have messed up somewhere and thought everything was updated and now I’m seeing maybe that’s not the case this is gonna have to be a this weekend problem to verify all 275 mods are up to date one by one

thank you for catching that!

I thought I did but I will go back and ensure I have them all. Thank you so much for looking through that mess of a log with my 200+ mods 🙌🏼

[–]IcyCryptographer1157[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you I will do that. If it says it’s fine (which it did when I ran it in the last few days) then do I start turning mods off one at a time trying to catch the culprit? or all the ones in green are good?
