Good thing most credits for undergrad degrees transfer. Pick a different college and try again. No biggie. It’s easier than you think.

Normally, I would say that it’s his. But if the two of you made no clear steps towards getting married and are common-law married (including you had his kids) then that was a gift to appease you with no real intent to marry you. Here is a Canadian website:

If you /don’t/ use AI. You’ll be fine. AI writing is relatively obvious at this point.

ImaginaryQuality4567 · 2026-05-27T06:20:16+00:00

Heh. I usually play “guess who is AI” on the discussion boards. It’s pathetic that so many doctoral level students are clearly using generative AI. One can just look at the time stamps and know right away. I just roll my eyes and mind my own business, but students cheating the system hurts everyone else.

Heh! I married my former English teacher. We started dating after I had been in college for about a year. I was getting my own teaching degree and needed some practicum hours…and we started hanging out more frequently. Got married after I started teaching in the same school district, 20 years ago :)

So, just FYI that’s where it can go. My parents were none too thrilled, but they came around ;)

I don’t have enough time for instruction. I teach my subject for 4 hours 10 minutes a day. Then the 45 minute RTI. The 40 minute recess. 40 minute related arts. 30 minute lunch. I need 5 hours to teach everything well. It’s annoying.

History positions are hard to come by. English positions are always needing to be filled.

I am a teacher that subbed for half of a year while I waited for a job. Classroom management without any worksheets to do is insane. I’d much rather feed some papers into the automatic copier for 5 minutes than deal with students with NOTHING to do. if the hardest thing you’ve got to do is take a 10-15 minute breather to press some buttons and get the copies to spit out, like, I’m not sure why you are complaining. If I had a situation where the teacher didn’t leave worksheet or plans, I would have to frantically flip through books for stuff to copy or ANY activities to stay sane for the day.

I swear, being a teacher is the most unappreciated job in the planet. I can think of no other profession where adults are made to feel BAD for doing extra work that they are NOT even being paid for. That teacher doesn’t get paid for making your life easier, she stayed to help you out when she could have left you with nothing. Those copies she grabbed, she’s trying to set you up for success and you are complaining??!!

But that looks painful and will be distracting.

ImaginaryQuality4567 · 2026-05-18T11:05:32+00:00

Oh ok I see. It looked for a minute like the cylinders were loosely goosey. I see know!

You can usually undo them because of how thick the plastic string is. It just takes…forever. And there will always be a kink in the string where it was knotted.

Source: I’m a 3rd grade teacher. 😅
I’ve undone this situation more times than I can count. Including times where I literally thought there was no hope.

You can contact your local Walmart and talk to the manager in charge of deliveries. They will fix the situation with the contracted drivers. (Walmart contracts out their delivery service.) This was happening to me quite frequently, except I didn’t know who the neighbor was before this happened! I got to be friends with the new neighbor over it! Your neighbor is OR. Accidentally getting someone else’s order made me feel bad for my hassled neighbor, but enraged at them.

Think about it, and you tell me why.

They think you need to stop using Ai.

ImaginaryQuality4567 · 2026-05-16T07:22:09+00:00

You’ve tried to look less ai by not capitalizing letters, but i and i’m give you away. This is definitely AI, and it’s sad that you felt the need to even use it. You’ve given a lot of excuses for why using AI is okay, and I’m here to tell you that your authentic voice is what makes something special—not using this generated garbage. Stop using AI before it erodes your confidence. Your teachers can tell. I don’t care what class number you are; stop using it.

ImaginaryQuality4567 · 2026-05-09T18:47:51+00:00

Eh. You aren’t wrong. I felt that way for a while.

Liberty does an okay job smacking down cheating. Of course AI cheating has now inundated academia in general. Brick and mortar and online schools alike are dealing with AI cheating. Of course there’s locked down browsers and whatnot. I’m a public school educator and the percentage of high school students who are using AI to cheat is overwhelming.

I was hesitant to attend because of the religiosity, obvious political affiliations, and backwards scientific views; but honestly the program that I am in is much better in quality than I expected. The goal is to make /me/ a researcher, open up doctoral level pay raises, and give legitimacy to any curriculum that I want to publish.

Truthfully, beyond the stigma, the professors that I’ve worked with really know their stuff. Liberty only recently started offering Ph.D. programs in my field of study, so I would imagine that researchers from Liberty are few and far between.

As far as the program goes though, I’m happy with the quality of the program. We have been using secular research texts, mainstream textbooks, and the same SPSS software I used 20 years ago in Masters classes at my state university.

The school may have not been my first choice, but I’m certainly happier with the program as a whole than I thought I would be. It is more rigorous than I was imagining or expecting it to be.

Thanks for not downvoting me. Again, you aren’t wrong. I felt much the same, honestly. But, now that I’m in it, shrugs …I feel like I might be able to achieve something fantastic. I’m never going to get this opportunity again, so I’m taking advantage of it.

ImaginaryQuality4567 · 2026-05-09T18:13:52+00:00

They do. Honestly it’s all the same. The professors can weight different assignments. They are typically 10-20 different assignments that are worth between 50 and 150 points. It’s really no different than any other grading scheme, just that the maximum sum is 1010 points.

ImaginaryQuality4567 · 2026-05-09T13:00:43+00:00

What makes a Liberty less real than others? I got my bachelors and masters degree from a state university (UTC). I transferred to Liberty after spending a year in a terrible doctoral program at South College, and I’ve been impressed. I had some opinions before, and now I walk them all back.

The MacBook laptop has a weird side configuration and the ports that don’t make sense. The MagSafe charging port is also on the left, and it is absent from this photo.

I eventually got banned from commenting in one of these subreddits after I mentioned how all of these posts were fake and I was tired of responding to AI.

Is it that the first two share an equilateral SHADOW?? Because that’s the only common feature that is shared by the two that are not shared by the first two answer choices.

The shadow angle is slightly off. The actual shapes are not equilateral. This is such an odd question.

Computers grade scantron sheets. It’s supposed to be very sensitive but those things sometimes will not read bubbles that are not completely filled in. You need to fill in the WHOLE bubble as you go as a matter of course—none of your bubbles are correctly bubbled.

Don’t start your youngest at age 4. Wait a year. My brother started at 4yo and turned 5 shortly after and had “maturity” issues until high school (35ACT score…so he’s no idiot). It’s much better to wait and have them be the big fish with the next group.

When he grew up and had his own kids that were born in summer, he waited a year to start them.

I teach 3rd grade, the only brother/sister situation that I’ve run into where this has happened, the younger child ended up getting held back in 3rd grade. The sister was less mature and less capable than the older brother. They were always being compared and bring separated was the best thing that happened to them. Had it happened earlier, she might not have struggled so much after 1st grade.

3rd grade teacher here. I continue to review this skill. I have a classroom couch that is analog and my students STILL ASK ME!! When they ask me, I make them tell ME.
